لِيَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ

For a tremendous Day -

يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٖ

No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen.

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٞ

And what can make you know what is sijjeen?

كِتَٰبٞ مَّرۡقُومٞ

It is [their destination[1] recorded in] a register inscribed.

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers,

ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ

Who deny the Day of Recompense.

وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ

And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.

إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."

كَلَّاۖ بَلۡۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ

No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.[1]

كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمۡ عَن رَّبِّهِمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّمَحۡجُوبُونَ

No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.[1]

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمۡ لَصَالُواْ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire.

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ

No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in Ôilliyy´n.

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ

And what can make you know what is Ôilliyy´n?

كِتَٰبٞ مَّرۡقُومٞ

It is [their destination[1] recorded in] a register inscribed

يَشۡهَدُهُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

Which is witnessed by those brought near [to AllŒh].

إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ

Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure

عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ

On adorned couches, observing.

تَعۡرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ

You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure.

يُسۡقَوۡنَ مِن رَّحِيقٖ مَّخۡتُومٍ

They will be given to drink [pure] wine[1] [which was] sealed.

خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسۡكٞۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلۡيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلۡمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ

The last of it[1] is musk. So for this let the competitors compete.

وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسۡنِيمٍ

And its mixture is of Tasneem,[1]

عَيۡنٗا يَشۡرَبُ بِهَا ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

A spring from which those near [to AllŒh] drink.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْ كَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَضۡحَكُونَ

Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِهِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُونَ

And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.

وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُواْ فَكِهِينَ

And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ

And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."

وَمَآ أُرۡسِلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَٰفِظِينَ

But they had not been sent as guardians over them.

فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡكُفَّارِ يَضۡحَكُونَ

So Today[1] those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,
