وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدۡعِ

And [by] the earth which splits,[1]

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلٞ فَصۡلٞ

Indeed, it [i.e., the QurÕŒn] is a decisive statement,

وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلۡهَزۡلِ

And it is not amusement.

إِنَّهُمۡ يَكِيدُونَ كَيۡدٗا

Indeed, they are planning a plan,

وَأَكِيدُ كَيۡدٗا

But I am planning a plan.

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَمۡهِلۡهُمۡ رُوَيۡدَۢا

So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.[1]

سَبِّحِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡأَعۡلَى

Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ

Who created and proportioned

وَٱلَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ

And who destined and [then] guided

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ ٱلۡمَرۡعَىٰ

And who brings out the pasture

فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحۡوَىٰ

And [then] makes it black stubble.

سَنُقۡرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ

We will make you recite, [O Muúammad], and you will not forget,

إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ وَمَا يَخۡفَىٰ

Except what AllŒh should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ

And We will ease you toward ease.[1]

فَذَكِّرۡ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ

So remind, if the reminder should benefit;[1]

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰ

He who fears [AllŒh] will be reminded.

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى

But the wretched one will avoid it

ٱلَّذِي يَصۡلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ

[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,

ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحۡيَىٰ

Neither dying therein nor living.

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ

He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself

وَذَكَرَ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ

And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.

بَلۡ تُؤۡثِرُونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا

But you prefer the worldly life,

وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰٓ

While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِي ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ

Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,

صُحُفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ

The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلۡغَٰشِيَةِ

Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ خَٰشِعَةٌ

[Some] faces, thatDay, will be humbled,

عَامِلَةٞ نَّاصِبَةٞ

Working [hard] and exhausted.[1]

تَصۡلَىٰ نَارًا حَامِيَةٗ

They will [eter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.

تُسۡقَىٰ مِنۡ عَيۡنٍ ءَانِيَةٖ

They will be given drink from a boiling spring.
