AttalaAAa alghayba ami ittakhatha AAinda alrrahmani AAahdan

Has he penetrated to the Unseen, or has he taken a contract with (Allah) Most Gracious?

كـَلَّاۚ سَنَكۡتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ مَدّٗا

Kalla sanaktubu ma yaqoolu wanamuddu lahu mina alAAathabi maddan

Nay! We shall record what he says, and We shall add and add to his punishment.

وَنَرِثُهُۥ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأۡتِينَا فَرۡدٗا

Wanarithuhu ma yaqoolu wayateena fardan

To Us shall return all that he talks of and he shall appear before Us bare and alone.

وَٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةٗ لِّيَكُونُواْ لَهُمۡ عِزّٗا

Waittakhathoo min dooni Allahi alihatan liyakoonoo lahum AAizzan

And they have taken (for worship) gods other than Allah, to give them power and glory!

كـَلَّاۚ سَيَكۡفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمۡ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضِدًّا

Kalla sayakfuroona biAAibadatihim wayakoonoona AAalayhim diddan

Instead, they shall reject their worship, and become adversaries against them.

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمۡ أَزّٗا

Alam tara anna arsalna alshshayateena AAala alkafireena taozzuhum azzan

Seest thou not that We have set the Evil Ones on against the unbelievers, to incite them with fury?

فَلَا تَعۡجَلۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡۖ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمۡ عَدّٗا

Fala taAAjal AAalayhim innama naAAuddu lahum AAaddan

So make no haste against them, for We but count out to them a (limited) number (of days).

يَوۡمَ نَحۡشُرُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ وَفۡدٗا

Yawma nahshuru almuttaqeena ila alrrahmani wafdan

The day We shall gather the righteous to (Allah) Most Gracious, like a band presented before a king for honours,

وَنَسُوقُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وِرۡدٗا

Wanasooqu almujrimeena ila jahannama wirdan

And We shall drive the sinners to Hell, like thirsty cattle driven down to water,-

لَّا يَمۡلِكُونَ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَهۡدٗا

La yamlikoona alshshafaAAata illa mani ittakhatha AAinda alrrahmani AAahdan

None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from (Allah) Most Gracious.

وَقَالُواْ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَلَدٗا

Waqaloo ittakhatha alrrahmanu waladan

They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!"

لَّقَدۡ جِئۡتُمۡ شَيۡـًٔا إِدّٗا

Laqad jitum shayan iddan

Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!
