وَاقتَرَبَ الوَعدُ الحَقُّ فَإِذا هِيَ شاخِصَةٌ أَبصارُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا يا وَيلَنا قَد كُنّا في غَفلَةٍ مِن هـٰذا بَل كُنّا ظالِمينَ

And when the true promise draws near, then behold, the eyes of those who disbelieved will be staring in horror: “Alas for us! We were oblivious to this; indeed, we were wrongdoers.”

إِنَّكُم وَما تَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ أَنتُم لَها وارِدونَ

You, along with anything you worship other than God, are fuel for Hell. To it you will be headed.

لَو كانَ هـٰؤُلاءِ آلِهَةً ما وَرَدوها ۖ وَكُلٌّ فيها خالِدونَ

Had these been gods, they wouldn’t have been entered into it. All will remain therein eternally.

لَهُم فيها زَفيرٌ وَهُم فيها لا يَسمَعونَ

There, they will groan; there, they won’t be heard.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ سَبَقَت لَهُم مِنَّا الحُسنىٰ أُولـٰئِكَ عَنها مُبعَدونَ

Those for whom We decreed the best will be kept far removed from it.

لا يَحزُنُهُمُ الفَزَعُ الأَكبَرُ وَتَتَلَقّاهُمُ المَلائِكَةُ هـٰذا يَومُكُمُ الَّذي كُنتُم توعَدونَ

The greatest terror won’t grieve them, and the angels will welcome them: “This is your Day which you were promised.”

يَومَ نَطوِي السَّماءَ كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلكُتُبِ ۚ كَما بَدَأنا أَوَّلَ خَلقٍ نُعيدُهُ ۚ وَعدًا عَلَينا ۚ إِنّا كُنّا فاعِلينَ

On that Day, We will fold the heavens like the folding of a book. Just as We began the first creation, so We will repeat it. That’s a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.

وَلَقَد كَتَبنا فِي الزَّبورِ مِن بَعدِ الذِّكرِ أَنَّ الأَرضَ يَرِثُها عِبادِيَ الصّالِحونَ

We’ve written in the Psalms, after the Reminder: “My righteous servants will inherit the earth.”

إِنَّ في هـٰذا لَبَلاغًا لِقَومٍ عابِدينَ

In this there is a message for a people who worship.

وَما أَرسَلناكَ إِلّا رَحمَةً لِلعالَمينَ

We sent you only as a mercy for all worlds.
