۞ وَيَسْتَنۢبِـُٔونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَ ۖ قُلْ إِى وَرَبِّىٓ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقٌّ ۖ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ
And they ask information of you, [O Muḥammad], "Is it true?" Say, "Yes, by my Lord. Indeed, it is truth; and you will not cause failure [to Allāh]."
لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِى سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
By your life, [O Muḥammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْـَٔلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
So by your Lord, We will surely question them all
وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِيثَـٰقَهُمْ وَمِنكَ وَمِن نُّوحٍ وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَى ٱبْنِ مَرْيَمَ ۖ وَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُم مِّيثَـٰقًا غَلِيظًا
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus, the son of Mary; and We took from them a solemn covenant
وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ
By the wise Qur’ān,
وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
By the clear Book,
وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
By the clear Book,
وَٱلذَّٰرِيَـٰتِ ذَرْوًا
By the [winds] scattering [dust], dispersing [it]
وَٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلْمَعْمُورِ
And [by] the frequented House
وَٱلْبَحْرِ ٱلْمَسْجُورِ
And [by] the sea set on fire,
وَٱلنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ
By the star when it descends,
۞ فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ
Then I swear by the setting of the stars,
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ
So I swear by what you see
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْمَشَـٰرِقِ وَٱلْمَغَـٰرِبِ إِنَّا لَقَـٰدِرُونَ
So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able
كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ
No! By the moon.
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ
And [by] the night when it departs.
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ
And [by] the morning when it brightens,
لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ
I swear by the Day of Resurrection
وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ
And I swear by the reproaching soul [to the certainty of resurrection].
وَٱلْمُرْسَلَـٰتِ عُرْفًا
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts
وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبْحًا
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
And by the night as it closes in
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
And by the dawn when it breathes [i.e., stirs]
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
So I swear by the twilight glow
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And [by] the night and what it envelops
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْبُرُوجِ
By the sky containing great stars
وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْعُودِ
And [by] the promised Day
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
By the sky and the night comer
وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ
And [by] ten nights
وَٱلشَّفْعِ وَٱلْوَتْرِ
And [by] the even [number] and the odd
لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ
I swear by this city [i.e., Makkah]
وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ
And [by] the father and that which was born [of him],
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
And [by] the moon when it follows it
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا
And [by] the night when it covers [i.e., conceals] it
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
By the morning brightness
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,
وَٱلْعَـٰدِيَـٰتِ ضَبْحًا
By the racers, panting,
فَٱلْمُورِيَـٰتِ قَدْحًا
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
فَٱلْمُغِيرَٰتِ صُبْحًا
And the chargers at dawn,
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
You will surely see the Hellfire.
