And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.
كَلَّاوَٱلْقَمَرِ٣٢
Kallaa walqamar
No! By the moon
وَٱلَّيْلِإِذْأَدْبَرَ٣٣
Wallaili adbar
And [by] the night when it departs
وَٱلصُّبْحِإِذَآأَسْفَرَ٣٤
Wassub hi izaaa asfar
And [by] the morning when it brightens,
إِنَّهَالَإِحْدَىٱلْكُبَرِ٣٥
Innahaa la ihdal kubar
Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]
نَذِيرًۭالِّلْبَشَرِ٣٦
Nazeeral lilbashar
As a warning to humanity -
لِمَنشَآءَمِنكُمْأَنيَتَقَدَّمَأَوْيَتَأَخَّرَ٣٧
Liman shaaa'a minkum any yataqaddama aw yata akhkhar
To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.
كُلُّنَفْسٍۭبِمَاكَسَبَتْرَهِينَةٌ٣٨
Kullu nafsim bim kasabat raheenah
Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained
إِلَّآأَصْحَـٰبَٱلْيَمِينِ٣٩
Illaaa as haabal yameen
Except the companions of the right,
فِىجَنَّـٰتٍۢيَتَسَآءَلُونَ٤٠
Fee jannaatiny yata saaa'aloon
[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other
عَنِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ٤١
'Anil mujrimeen
About the criminals,
مَاسَلَكَكُمْفِىسَقَرَ٤٢
Maa salakakum fee saqar
[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"
قَالُوا۟لَمْنَكُمِنَٱلْمُصَلِّينَ٤٣
Qaaloo lam naku minal musalleen
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
وَلَمْنَكُنُطْعِمُٱلْمِسْكِينَ٤٤
Wa lam naku nut'imul miskeen
Nor did we used to feed the poor.
وَكُنَّانَخُوضُمَعَٱلْخَآئِضِينَ٤٥
Wa kunnaa nakhoodu ma'al khaaa'ideen
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
وَكُنَّانُكَذِّبُبِيَوْمِٱلدِّينِ٤٦
Wa kunnaa nukazzibu bi yawmid Deen
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
حَتَّىٰٓأَتَىٰنَاٱلْيَقِينُ٤٧
Hattaaa ataanal yaqeen
Until there came to us the certainty."
فَمَاتَنفَعُهُمْشَفَـٰعَةُٱلشَّـٰفِعِينَ٤٨
Famaa tanfa'uhum shafaa'atush shaafi'een
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
فَمَالَهُمْعَنِٱلتَّذْكِرَةِمُعْرِضِينَ٤٩
Famaa lahum 'anittazkirati mu'rideen
Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away
كَأَنَّهُمْحُمُرٌۭمُّسْتَنفِرَةٌۭ٥٠
Ka annahum humurum mustanfirah
As if they were alarmed donkeys
فَرَّتْمِنقَسْوَرَةٍۭ٥١
Farrat min qaswarah
Fleeing from a lion?
بَلْيُرِيدُكُلُّٱمْرِئٍۢمِّنْهُمْأَنيُؤْتَىٰصُحُفًۭامُّنَشَّرَةًۭ٥٢
Bal yureedu kullum ri'im minhum any yu'taa suhufam munashsharah
Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.
كَلَّا ۖبَللَّايَخَافُونَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ٥٣
Kallaa bal laa yakhaafoonal aakhirah
No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.
كَلَّآإِنَّهُۥتَذْكِرَةٌۭ٥٤
Kallaaa innahoo tazkirah
No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder
فَمَنشَآءَذَكَرَهُۥ٥٥
Fa man shaaa'a zakarah
Then whoever wills will remember it.
وَمَايَذْكُرُونَإِلَّآأَنيَشَآءَٱللَّهُ ۚهُوَأَهْلُٱلتَّقْوَىٰوَأَهْلُٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ٥٦
Wa maa yazkuroona illaaa any yashaaa'al laah; Huwa ahlut taqwaa wa ahlul maghfirah
And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
