كَمۡ تَرَكُواْ مِن جَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

How much they left behind of gardens and springs

وَزُرُوعٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ

And crops and noble sites

وَنَعۡمَةٖ كَانُواْ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ

And comfort wherein they were amused.

كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِينَ

Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.

فَمَا بَكَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُنظَرِينَ

And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.

وَلَقَدۡ نَجَّيۡنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡمُهِينِ

And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment –

مِن فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ

From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.

وَلَقَدِ ٱخۡتَرۡنَٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمٍ عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَـٰٓؤٞاْ مُّبِينٌ

And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.

إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,

إِنۡ هِيَ إِلَّا مَوۡتَتُنَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ

"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.

فَأۡتُواْ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."

أَهُمۡ خَيۡرٌ أَمۡ قَوۡمُ تُبَّعٖ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ مُجۡرِمِينَ

Are they better or the people of TubbaÔ[1] and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ

And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.

مَا خَلَقۡنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.

إِنَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is the appointed time for them all –

يَوۡمَ لَا يُغۡنِي مَوۡلًى عَن مَّوۡلٗى شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا هُمۡ يُنصَرُونَ

The Day when no relation[1] will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped –

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Except those [believers] on whom AllŒh has mercy. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ

Indeed, the tree of zaqq´m

طَعَامُ ٱلۡأَثِيمِ

Is food for the sinful.

كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ يَغۡلِي فِي ٱلۡبُطُونِ

Like murky oil, it boils within bellies

كَغَلۡيِ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ

Like the boiling of scalding water.

خُذُوهُ فَٱعۡتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

[It will be commanded], "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Hellfire,

ثُمَّ صُبُّواْ فَوۡقَ رَأۡسِهِۦ مِنۡ عَذَابِ ٱلۡحَمِيمِ

Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water."

ذُقۡ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡكَرِيمُ

[It will be said], "Taste! Indeed, you are the honored, the noble![1]

إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمۡتَرُونَ

Indeed, this is what you used to dispute."

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي مَقَامٍ أَمِينٖ

Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place:

فِي جَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

Within gardens and springs,

يَلۡبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٖ وَإِسۡتَبۡرَقٖ مُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

Wearing [garments of] fine silk and brocade, facing each other.

كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجۡنَٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٖ

Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.
