أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ

Those are the nearest.

عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍۢ مَّوْضُونَةٍۢ

On luxurious furnishings.

مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَيْهَا مُتَقَٰبِلِينَ

Reclining on them, facing one another.

يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌۭ مُّخَلَّدُونَ

As a reward for what they used to do.

Therein they will hear no nonsense, and no accusations.

إِلَّا قِيلًۭا سَلَٰمًۭا سَلَٰمًۭا

But only the greeting: "Peace, peace."

وَأَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ مَآ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْيَمِينِ

وَظِلٍّۢ مِّن يَحْمُومٍۢ

And a shadow of thick smoke.

لَّا بَارِدٍۢ وَلَا كَرِيمٍ

Neither cool, nor refreshing.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُتْرَفِينَ

And they used to persist in immense wrongdoing.

وَكَانُوا۟ يَقُولُونَ أَئِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًۭا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ

Will be filling your bellies with it.

فَشَٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمِيمِ

Will be drinking on top of it boiling water.

فَشَٰرِبُونَ شُرْبَ ٱلْهِيمِ

Drinking like thirsty camels drink.

هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ

That is their hospitality on the Day of Retribution.

نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

We created you-if only you would believe!

أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ

Have you seen what you ejaculate?

ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ

Is it you who create it, or are We the Creator?

نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ

We have decreed death among you, and We will not be outstripped.

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

In replacing you with your likes, and transforming you into what you do not know.

You have known the first formation; if only you would remember.

أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ

Have you seen what you cultivate?

ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ

Is it you who make it grow, or are We the Grower?

لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَٰهُ حُطَٰمًۭا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ

If We will, We can turn it into rubble; then you will lament.

إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ

"We are penalized.

بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ

No, we are being deprived."

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلْمَآءَ ٱلَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ

Have you seen the water you drink?

ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ

Is it you who sent it down from the clouds, or are We the Sender?

لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَٰهُ أُجَاجًۭا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ

If We will, We can make it salty. Will you not be thankful?

Is it you who produce its tree, or are We the Producer?

نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَٰهَا تَذْكِرَةًۭ وَمَتَٰعًۭا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ

We have made it a reminder, and a comfort for the users.

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

So glorify the Name of your Great Lord.

فِى كِتَٰبٍۢ مَّكْنُونٍۢ

In a well-protected Book.

لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ

None can grasp it except the purified.

تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ

Is it this discourse that you take so lightly?

وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ

And you make it your livelihood to deny it?

فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ

So when it has reached the throat.

وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍۢ تَنظُرُونَ

As you are looking on.

وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ

We are nearer to it than you are, but you do not see.

فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ

If you are not held to account.

تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

Then bring it back, if you are truthful.

فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

But if he is one of those brought near.

فَرَوْحٌۭ وَرَيْحَانٌۭ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍۢ

Then happiness, and flowers, and Garden of Delights.

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

And if he is one of those on the Right.

فَسَلَٰمٌۭ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ

Then, "Peace upon you," from those on the Right.

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

But if he is one of the deniers, the mistaken.

فَنُزُلٌۭ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ

Then a welcome of Inferno.

وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ

And burning in Hell.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ

This is the certain truth.

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
