Am yaqooloona nahnu jameeAAun muntasirun

Bali alssaAAatu mawAAiduhum waalssaAAatu adha waamarru

Nay, the Hour (of Judgment) is the time promised them (for their full recompense): And that Hour will be most grievous and most bitter.

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ وَسُعُرٖ

Inna almujrimeena fee dalalin wasuAAurin

Truly those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad.

إِنَّا كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَٰهُ بِقَدَرٖ

Inna kulla shayin khalaqnahu biqadarin

Verily, all things have We created in proportion and measure.

وَمَآ أَمۡرُنَآ إِلَّا وَٰحِدَةٞ كَلَمۡحِۭ بِٱلۡبَصَرِ

Wama amruna illa wahidatun kalamhin bialbasari

And Our Command is but a single (Act),- like the twinkling of an eye.

وَلَقَدۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَآ أَشۡيَاعَكُمۡ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ

Walaqad ahlakna ashyaAAakum fahal min muddakirin

And (oft) in the past, have We destroyed gangs like unto you: then is there any that will receive admonition?
