The Hour

قَدۡ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغۡتَةٗ قَالُواْ يَٰحَسۡرَتَنَا عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطۡنَا فِيهَا وَهُمۡ يَحۡمِلُونَ أَوۡزَارَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِمۡۚ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ ٣١

قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِلِقَا࢜ءِ اللّٰهِؕ حَتّٰٓي اِذَا جَا࢜ءَتْهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً قَالُوْا يٰحَسْرَتَنَا عَلٰي مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِيْهَاۙ وَهُمْ يَحْمِلُوْنَ اَوْزَارَهُمْ عَلٰي ظُهُوْرِهِمْؕ اَلَا سَا࢜ءَ مَا يَزِرُوْنَ ۝٣١

Those will have lost who deny the meeting with Allāh, until when the Hour [of resurrection] comes upon them unexpectedly, they will say, "Oh, [how great is] our regret over what we neglected concerning it [i.e., the Hour]," while they bear their burdens [i.e., sins] on their backs. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear.

قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتَكُمۡ إِنۡ أَتَىٰكُمۡ عَذَابُ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡ أَتَتۡكُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ أَغَيۡرَ ٱللَّهِ تَدۡعُونَ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٤٠

قُلْ اَرَءَيْتَكُمْ اِنْ اَتٰىكُمْ عَذَابُ اللّٰهِ اَوْ اَتَتْكُمُ السَّاعَةُ اَغَيْرَ اللّٰهِ تَدْعُوْنَۚ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٤٠

Say, "Have you considered: if there came to you the punishment of Allāh or there came to you the Hour - is it other than Allāh you would invoke, if you should be truthful?"

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ وَيَوۡمَ يَقُولُ كُن فَيَكُونُۚ قَوۡلُهُ ٱلۡحَقُّۚ وَلَهُ ٱلۡمُلۡكُ يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِۚ عَٰلِمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٱلۡخَبِيرُ ٧٣

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّؕ وَيَوْمَ يَقُوْلُ كُنْ فَيَكُوْنُ࣢ؕ قَوْلُهُ الْحَقُّؕ وَلَهُ الْمُلْكُ يَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّوْرِؕ عٰلِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِؕ وَهُوَ الْحَكِيْمُ الْخَبِيْرُ ۝٧٣

And it is He who created the heavens and earth in truth. And the day [i.e., whenever] He says, "Be," and it is, His word is the truth. And His is the dominion [on] the Day the Horn is blown. [He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed; and He is the Wise, the Aware.

إِنَّ مَا تُوعَدُونَ لَأٓتٖۖ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ ١٣٤

اِنَّ مَا تُوْعَدُوْنَ لَاٰتٍۙ وَّمَا͏ٓ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِيْنَ ۝١٣٤

Indeed, what you are promised is coming, and you will not cause failure [to Allāh].

هَلۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَوۡ يَأۡتِيَ رَبُّكَ أَوۡ يَأۡتِيَ بَعۡضُ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّكَۗ يَوۡمَ يَأۡتِي بَعۡضُ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّكَ لَا يَنفَعُ نَفۡسًا إِيمَٰنُهَا لَمۡ تَكُنۡ ءَامَنَتۡ مِن قَبۡلُ أَوۡ كَسَبَتۡ فِيٓ إِيمَٰنِهَا خَيۡرٗاۗ قُلِ ٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ ١٥٨

هَلْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا͏ٓ اَنْ تَاْتِيَهُمُ الْمَلٰ࢜ىِٕكَةُ اَوْ يَاْتِيَ رَبُّكَ اَوْ يَاْتِيَ بَعْضُ اٰيٰتِ رَبِّكَؕ يَوْمَ يَاْتِيْ بَعْضُ اٰيٰتِ رَبِّكَ لَا يَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا اِيْمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ اٰمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ اَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِيْٓ اِيْمَانِهَا خَيْرًاؕ قُلِ انْتَظِرُوْٓا اِنَّا مُنْتَظِرُوْنَ ۝١٥٨

Do they [then] wait for anything except that the angels should come to them or your Lord should come or that there come some of the signs of your Lord? The Day that some of the signs of your Lord will come no soul will benefit from its faith as long as it had not believed before or had earned through its faith some good. Say, "Wait. Indeed, we [also] are waiting."

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَاۖ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّيۖ لَا يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقۡتِهَآ إِلَّا هُوَۚ ثَقُلَتۡ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ لَا تَأۡتِيكُمۡ إِلَّا بَغۡتَةٗۗ يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِيٌّ عَنۡهَاۖ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ١٨٧

يَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَيَّانَ مُرْسٰىهَاؕ قُلْ اِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّيْۚ لَا يُجَلِّيْهَا لِوَقْتِهَا͏ٓ اِلَّا هُوَۘؕؔ ثَقُلَتْ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِؕ لَا تَاْتِيْكُمْ اِلَّا بَغْتَةًؕ يَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ كَاَنَّكَ حَفِيٌّ عَنْهَاؕ قُلْ اِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝١٨٧

They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, "Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly." They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, "Its knowledge is only with Allāh, but most of the people do not know."

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٤٨

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰي هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٤٨

And they say, "When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?"

أَفَأَمِنُوٓاْ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُمۡ غَٰشِيَةٞ مِّنۡ عَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡ تَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ١٠٧

اَفَاَمِنُوْٓا اَنْ تَاْتِيَهُمْ غَاشِيَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ اللّٰهِ اَوْ تَاْتِيَهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ ۝١٠٧

Then do they feel secure that there will not come to them an overwhelming [aspect] of the punishment of Allāh or that the Hour will not come upon them suddenly while they do not perceive?

إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡوَقۡتِ ٱلۡمَعۡلُومِ ٣٨

اِلٰي يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُوْمِ ۝٣٨

Until the Day of the time well-known."

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأٓتِيَةٞۖ فَٱصۡفَحِ ٱلصَّفۡحَ ٱلۡجَمِيلَ ٨٥

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا͏ٓ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّؕ وَاِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَاٰتِيَةٌ فَاصْفَحِ الصَّفْحَ الْجَمِيْلَ ۝٨٥

And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness.

أَتَىٰٓ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُوهُۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ١

اَتٰٓي اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوْهُؕ سُبْحٰنَهٗ وَتَعٰلٰي عَمَّا يُشْرِكُوْنَ ۝١

The command of Allāh is coming, so be not impatient for it. Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.

وَلِلَّهِ غَيۡبُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَمَآ أَمۡرُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ إِلَّا كَلَمۡحِ ٱلۡبَصَرِ أَوۡ هُوَ أَقۡرَبُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ ٧٧

وَلِلّٰهِ غَيْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِؕ وَمَا͏ٓ اَمْرُ السَّاعَةِ اِلَّا كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ اَوْ هُوَ اَقْرَبُؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ۝٧٧

And to Allāh belongs the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. And the command for the Hour is not but as a glance of the eye or even nearer. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.

أَوۡ خَلۡقٗا مِّمَّا يَكۡبُرُ فِي صُدُورِكُمۡۚ فَسَيَقُولُونَ مَن يُعِيدُنَاۖ قُلِ ٱلَّذِي فَطَرَكُمۡ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٖۚ فَسَيُنۡغِضُونَ إِلَيۡكَ رُءُوسَهُمۡ وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هُوَۖ قُلۡ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ قَرِيبٗا ٥١

اَوْ خَلْقًا مِّمَّا يَكْبُرُ فِيْ صُدُوْرِكُمْۚ فَسَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَنْ يُّعِيْدُنَاؕ قُلِ الَّذِيْ فَطَرَكُمْ اَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۚ فَسَيُنْغِضُوْنَ اِلَيْكَ رُءُوْسَهُمْ وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰي هُوَؕ قُلْ عَسٰٓي اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ قَرِيْبًا ۝٥١

Or [any] creation of that which is great within your breasts." And they will say, "Who will restore us?" Say, "He who brought you forth the first time." Then they will nod their heads toward you and say, "When is that?" Say, "Perhaps it will be soon -

وَإِنَّا لَجَٰعِلُونَ مَا عَلَيۡهَا صَعِيدٗا جُرُزًا ٨

وَاِنَّا لَجٰعِلُوْنَ مَا عَلَيْهَا صَعِيْدًا جُرُزًا ۝٨ؕ

And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَعۡثَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ لِيَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞ وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهَآ إِذۡ يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ أَمۡرَهُمۡۖ فَقَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ عَلَيۡهِم بُنۡيَٰنٗاۖ رَّبُّهُمۡ أَعۡلَمُ بِهِمۡۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ غَلَبُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَمۡرِهِمۡ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيۡهِم مَّسۡجِدٗا ٢١

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّاَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْهَاۚࣗ اِذْ يَتَنَازَعُوْنَ بَيْنَهُمْ اَمْرَهُمْ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ بُنْيَانًاؕ رَبُّهُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِهِمْؕ قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ غَلَبُوْا عَلٰٓي اَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَّسْجِدًا ۝٢١

And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allāh is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."

وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةٗ وَلَئِن رُّدِدتُّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي لَأَجِدَنَّ خَيۡرٗا مِّنۡهَا مُنقَلَبٗا ٣٦

وَّمَا͏ٓ اَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَا࢜ىِٕمَةًۙ وَّلَىِٕنْ رُّدِدْتُّ اِلٰي رَبِّيْ لَاَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا مُنْقَلَبًا ۝٣٦ۚ

And I do not think the Hour will occur. And even if I should be brought back to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return."

قَالَ هَٰذَا رَحۡمَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّيۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعۡدُ رَبِّي جَعَلَهُۥ دَكَّآءَۖ وَكَانَ وَعۡدُ رَبِّي حَقّٗا ٩٨

قَالَ هٰذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّيْۚ فَاِذَا جَا࢜ءَ وَعْدُ رَبِّيْ جَعَلَهٗ دَكَّا࢜ءَۚ وَكَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّيْ حَقًّا ۝٩٨ؕ

[Dhul-Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord comes [i.e., approaches], He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."

وَتَرَكۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَمُوجُ فِي بَعۡضٖۖ وَنُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَجَمَعۡنَٰهُمۡ جَمۡعٗا ٩٩

وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يَّمُوْجُ فِيْ بَعْضٍ وَّنُفِخَ فِي الصُّوْرِ فَجَمَعْنٰهُمْ جَمْعًا ۝٩٩ۙ

And We will leave them that day surging over each other, and [then] the Horn will be blown, and We will assemble them in [one] assembly.

قُلۡ مَن كَانَ فِي ٱلضَّلَٰلَةِ فَلۡيَمۡدُدۡ لَهُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ مَدًّاۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوۡاْ مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا ٱلۡعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ فَسَيَعۡلَمُونَ مَنۡ هُوَ شَرّٞ مَّكَانٗا وَأَضۡعَفُ جُندٗا ٧٥

قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الضَّلٰلَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمٰنُ مَدًّا࣢ۚ حَتّٰٓي اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا يُوْعَدُوْنَ اِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَاِمَّا السَّاعَةَؕ فَسَيَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَّاَضْعَفُ جُنْدًا ۝٧٥

Say, "Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension [in wealth and time] until, when they see that which they were promised - either punishment [in this world] or the Hour [of resurrection] - they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers."

إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخۡفِيهَا لِتُجۡزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا تَسۡعَىٰ ١٥

اِنَّ السَّاعَةَ اٰتِيَةٌ اَكَادُ اُخْفِيْهَا لِتُجْزٰي كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا تَسْعٰي ۝١٥

Indeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.

فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنۡهَا مَن لَّا يُؤۡمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرۡدَىٰ ١٦

فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَنْ لَّا يُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُ بِهَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُ فَتَرْدٰي ۝١٦

So do not let one avert you from it who does not believe in it and follows his desire, for you [then] would perish.

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِۚ وَنَحۡشُرُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ زُرۡقٗا ١٠٢

يَّوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّوْرِ وَنَحْشُرُ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ زُرْقًا ۝١٠٢ۚۖ

The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed.

وَيَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡجِبَالِ فَقُلۡ يَنسِفُهَا رَبِّي نَسۡفٗا ١٠٥

وَيَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنْسِفُهَا رَبِّيْ نَسْفًا ۝١٠٥ۙ

And they ask you about the mountains, so say, "My Lord will blow them away with a blast.

فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعٗا صَفۡصَفٗا ١٠٦

فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعًا صَفْصَفًا ۝١٠٦ۙ

And He will leave it [i.e., the earth] a level plain;

لَّا تَرَىٰ فِيهَا عِوَجٗا وَلَآ أَمۡتٗا ١٠٧

لَّا تَرٰي فِيْهَا عِوَجًا وَّلَا͏ٓ اَمْتًا ۝١٠٧ؕ

You will not see therein a depression or an elevation."

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٣٨

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰي هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٣٨

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

بَلۡ تَأۡتِيهِم بَغۡتَةٗ فَتَبۡهَتُهُمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمۡ يُنظَرُونَ ٤٠

بَلْ تَاْتِيْهِمْ بَغْتَةً فَتَبْهَتُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمْ يُنْظَرُوْنَ ۝٤٠

Rather, it will come to them unexpectedly and bewilder them, and they will not be able to repel it, nor will they be reprieved.

ٱلَّذِينَ يَخۡشَوۡنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَهُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ مُشۡفِقُونَ ٤٩

الَّذِيْنَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ وَهُمْ مِّنَ السَّاعَةِ مُشْفِقُوْنَ ۝٤٩

Who fear their Lord unseen, while they are of the Hour apprehensive.

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فُتِحَتۡ يَأۡجُوجُ وَمَأۡجُوجُ وَهُم مِّن كُلِّ حَدَبٖ يَنسِلُونَ ٩٦

حَتّٰٓي اِذَا فُتِحَتْ يَاْجُوْجُ وَمَاْجُوْجُ وَهُمْ مِّنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَّنْسِلُوْنَ ۝٩٦

Until when [the dam of] Gog and Magog has been opened and they, from every elevation, descend

وَٱقۡتَرَبَ ٱلۡوَعۡدُ ٱلۡحَقُّ فَإِذَا هِيَ شَٰخِصَةٌ أَبۡصَٰرُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يَٰوَيۡلَنَا قَدۡ كُنَّا فِي غَفۡلَةٖ مِّنۡ هَٰذَا بَلۡ كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ٩٧

وَاقْتَرَبَ الْوَعْدُ الْحَقُّ فَاِذَا هِيَ شَاخِصَةٌ اَبْصَارُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْاؕ يٰوَيْلَنَا قَدْ كُنَّا فِيْ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ هٰذَا بَلْ كُنَّا ظٰلِمِيْنَ ۝٩٧

And [when] the true promise [i.e., the resurrection] has approached; then suddenly the eyes of those who disbelieved will be staring [in horror, while they say], "O woe to us; we had been unmindful of this; rather, we were wrongdoers."

يَوۡمَ نَطۡوِي ٱلسَّمَآءَ كَطَيِّ ٱلسِّجِلِّ لِلۡكُتُبِۚ كَمَا بَدَأۡنَآ أَوَّلَ خَلۡقٖ نُّعِيدُهُۥۚ وَعۡدًا عَلَيۡنَآۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا فَٰعِلِينَ ١٠٤

يَوْمَ نَطْوِي السَّمَا࢜ءَ كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِؕ كَمَا بَدَاْنَا͏ٓ اَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيْدُهٗؕ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَاؕ اِنَّا كُنَّا فٰعِلِيْنَ ۝١٠٤

The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمۡۚ إِنَّ زَلۡزَلَةَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ شَيۡءٌ عَظِيمٞ ١

يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّكُمْۚ اِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ السَّاعَةِ شَيْءٌ عَظِيْمٌ ۝١

O mankind, fear your Lord. Indeed, the convulsion of the [final] Hour is a terrible thing.

يَوۡمَ تَرَوۡنَهَا تَذۡهَلُ كُلُّ مُرۡضِعَةٍ عَمَّآ أَرۡضَعَتۡ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمۡلٍ حَمۡلَهَا وَتَرَى ٱلنَّاسَ سُكَٰرَىٰ وَمَا هُم بِسُكَٰرَىٰ وَلَٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ ٱللَّهِ شَدِيدٞ ٢

يَوْمَ تَرَوْنَهَا تَذْهَلُ كُلُّ مُرْضِعَةٍ عَمَّا͏ٓ اَرْضَعَتْ وَتَضَعُ كُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَهَا وَتَرَي النَّاسَ سُكٰرٰي وَمَا هُمْ بِسُكٰرٰي وَلٰكِنَّ عَذَابَ اللّٰهِ شَدِيْدٌ ۝٢

On the Day you see it every nursing mother will be distracted from that [child] she was nursing, and every pregnant woman will abort her pregnancy, and you will see the people [appearing] intoxicated while they are not intoxicated; but the punishment of Allāh is severe.

وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٞ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهَا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبۡعَثُ مَن فِي ٱلۡقُبُورِ ٧

وَّاَنَّ السَّاعَةَ اٰتِيَةٌ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيْهَاۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُوْرِ ۝٧

And [that they may know] that the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - and that Allāh will resurrect those in the graves.

وَلَا يَزَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي مِرۡيَةٖ مِّنۡهُ حَتَّىٰ تَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغۡتَةً أَوۡ يَأۡتِيَهُمۡ عَذَابُ يَوۡمٍ عَقِيمٍ ٥٥

وَلَا يَزَالُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا فِيْ مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْهُ حَتّٰي تَاْتِيَهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً اَوْ يَاْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَقِيْمٍ ۝٥٥

But those who disbelieve will not cease to be in doubt of it until the Hour comes upon them unexpectedly or there comes to them the punishment of a barren Day.

بَلۡ كَذَّبُواْ بِٱلسَّاعَةِۖ وَأَعۡتَدۡنَا لِمَن كَذَّبَ بِٱلسَّاعَةِ سَعِيرًا ١١

بَلْ كَذَّبُوْا بِالسَّاعَةِࣞ وَاَعْتَدْنَا لِمَنْ كَذَّبَ بِالسَّاعَةِ سَعِيْرًا ۝١١ۚ

But they have denied the Hour, and We have prepared for those who deny the Hour a Blaze.

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٧١

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰي هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٧١

And they say, "When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?"

وَإِذَا وَقَعَ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ أَخۡرَجۡنَا لَهُمۡ دَآبَّةٗ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمۡ أَنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا لَا يُوقِنُونَ ٨٢

وَاِذَا وَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ اَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ دَا࢜بَّةً مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْۙ اَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوْا بِاٰيٰتِنَا لَا يُوْقِنُوْنَ ۝٨٢

And when the word [i.e., decree] befalls them, We will bring forth for them a creature from the earth speaking to them, [saying] that the people were, of Our verses, not certain [in faith].

وَيَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ وَكُلٌّ أَتَوۡهُ دَٰخِرِينَ ٨٧

وَيَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّوْرِ فَفَزِعَ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَنْ فِي الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا مَنْ شَا࢜ءَ اللّٰهُؕ وَكُلٌّ اَتَوْهُ دٰخِرِيْنَ ۝٨٧

And [warn of] the Day the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will be terrified except whom Allāh wills. And all will come to Him humbled.

وَتَرَى ٱلۡجِبَالَ تَحۡسَبُهَا جَامِدَةٗ وَهِيَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ ٱلسَّحَابِۚ صُنۡعَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَتۡقَنَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍۚ إِنَّهُۥ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَفۡعَلُونَ ٨٨

وَتَرَي الْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَّهِيَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحَابِؕ صُنْعَ اللّٰهِ الَّذِيْٓ اَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍؕ اِنَّهٗ خَبِيْرٌۢ بِمَا تَفْعَلُوْنَ ۝٨٨

And you see the mountains, thinking them motionless, while they will pass as the passing of clouds. [It is] the work of Allāh, who perfected all things. Indeed, He is Aware of that which you do.

وَيَوۡمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يُبۡلِسُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ ١٢

وَيَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ يُبْلِسُ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ ۝١٢

And the Day the Hour appears the criminals will be in despair.

وَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُم مِّن شُرَكَآئِهِمۡ شُفَعَٰٓؤُاْ وَكَانُواْ بِشُرَكَآئِهِمۡ كَٰفِرِينَ ١٣

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهُمْ مِّنْ شُرَكَا࢜ىِٕهِمْ شُفَعٰ࢜و͏ٔ͏ُا وَكَانُوْا بِشُرَكَا࢜ىِٕهِمْ كٰفِرِيْنَ ۝١٣

And there will not be for them among their [alleged] partners any intercessors, and they will [then] be disbelievers in their partners.

وَيَوۡمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَتَفَرَّقُونَ ١٤

وَيَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يَّتَفَرَّقُوْنَ ۝١٤

And the Day the Hour appears - that Day they will become separated.

وَيَوۡمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يُقۡسِمُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ مَا لَبِثُواْ غَيۡرَ سَاعَةٖۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كَانُواْ يُؤۡفَكُونَ ٥٥

وَيَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ يُقْسِمُ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ࣢ۙ مَا لَبِثُوْا غَيْرَ سَاعَةٍؕ كَذٰلِكَ كَانُوْا يُو͏ٔ͏ْفَكُوْنَ ۝٥٥

And the Day the Hour appears the criminals will swear they had remained but an hour. Thus they were deluded.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡغَيۡثَ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡحَامِۖ وَمَا تَدۡرِي نَفۡسٞ مَّاذَا تَكۡسِبُ غَدٗاۖ وَمَا تَدۡرِي نَفۡسُۢ بِأَيِّ أَرۡضٖ تَمُوتُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرُۢ ٣٤

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهٗ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِۚ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَۚ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْاَرْحَامِؕ وَمَا تَدْرِيْ نَفْسٌ مَّاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًاؕ وَمَا تَدْرِيْ نَفْسٌۢ بِاَيِّ اَرْضٍ تَمُوْتُؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيْمٌ خَبِيْرٌ ۝٣٤

Indeed, Allāh [alone] has knowledge of the Hour and sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing and Aware.

يَسۡـَٔلُكَ ٱلنَّاسُ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِۖ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ تَكُونُ قَرِيبًا ٦٣

يَسْـَٔلُكَ النَّاسُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِؕ قُلْ اِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِؕ وَمَا يُدْرِيْكَ لَعَلَّ السَّاعَةَ تَكُوْنُ قَرِيْبًا ۝٦٣

People ask you concerning the Hour. Say, "Knowledge of it is only with Allāh. And what may make you perceive? Perhaps the Hour is near."

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَا تَأۡتِينَا ٱلسَّاعَةُۖ قُلۡ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّي لَتَأۡتِيَنَّكُمۡ عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِۖ لَا يَعۡزُبُ عَنۡهُ مِثۡقَالُ ذَرَّةٖ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَلَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَآ أَصۡغَرُ مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَآ أَكۡبَرُ إِلَّا فِي كِتَٰبٖ مُّبِينٖ ٣

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَا تَاْتِيْنَا السَّاعَةُؕ قُلْ بَلٰي وَرَبِّيْ لَتَاْتِيَنَّكُمْۙ عٰلِمِ الْغَيْبِۚ لَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْهُ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَلَا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَلَا͏ٓ اَصْغَرُ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ وَلَا͏ٓ اَكْبَرُ اِلَّا فِيْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِيْنٍ ۝٣ࣗۙ

But those who disbelieve say, "The Hour will not come to us." Say, "Yes, by my Lord, it will surely come to you. [Allāh is] the Knower of the unseen." Not absent from Him is an atom's weight within the heavens or within the earth or [what is] smaller than that or greater, except that it is in a clear register -

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٤٨

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰي هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٤٨

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

مَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ تَأۡخُذُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ يَخِصِّمُونَ ٤٩

مَا يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَّاحِدَةً تَاْخُذُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَخِصِّمُوْنَ ۝٤٩

They do not await except one blast which will seize them while they are disputing.

فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ تَوۡصِيَةٗ وَلَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ ٥٠

فَلَا يَسْتَطِيْعُوْنَ تَوْصِيَةً وَّلَا͏ٓ اِلٰٓي اَهْلِهِمْ يَرْجِعُوْنَ ۝٥٠

And they will not be able [to give] any instruction, nor to their people can they return.

وَمَا يَنظُرُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ مَّا لَهَا مِن فَوَاقٖ ١٥

وَمَا يَنْظُرُ هٰٓو͏ٔ͏ُلَا࢜ءِ اِلَّا صَيْحَةً وَّاحِدَةً مَّا لَهَا مِنْ فَوَاقٍ ۝١٥

And these [disbelievers] await not but one blast [of the Horn]; for it there will be no delay.

إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡوَقۡتِ ٱلۡمَعۡلُومِ ٨١

اِلٰي يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُوْمِ ۝٨١

Until the Day of the time well-known."

وَنُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۖ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ أُخۡرَىٰ فَإِذَا هُمۡ قِيَامٞ يَنظُرُونَ ٦٨

وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّوْرِ فَصَعِقَ مَنْ فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَنْ فِي الْاَرْضِ اِلَّا مَنْ شَا࢜ءَ اللّٰهُؕ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيْهِ اُخْرٰي فَاِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَّنْظُرُوْنَ ۝٦٨

And the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will fall dead except whom Allāh wills. Then it will be blown again, and at once they will be standing, looking on.

ٱلنَّارُ يُعۡرَضُونَ عَلَيۡهَا غُدُوّٗا وَعَشِيّٗاۚ وَيَوۡمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدۡخِلُوٓاْ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ أَشَدَّ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٤٦

اَلنَّارُ يُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلَيْهَا غُدُوًّا وَّعَشِيًّاۚ وَيَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُࣞ اَدْخِلُوْٓا اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ اَشَدَّ الْعَذَابِ ۝٤٦

The Fire; they are exposed to it morning and evening. And the Day the Hour appears [it will be said], "Make the people of Pharaoh enter the severest punishment."

إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأٓتِيَةٞ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهَا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٥٩

اِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَاٰتِيَةٌ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيْهَا وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُوْنَ ۝٥٩

Indeed, the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - but most of the people do not believe.

إِلَيۡهِ يُرَدُّ عِلۡمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِۚ وَمَا تَخۡرُجُ مِن ثَمَرَٰتٖ مِّنۡ أَكۡمَامِهَا وَمَا تَحۡمِلُ مِنۡ أُنثَىٰ وَلَا تَضَعُ إِلَّا بِعِلۡمِهِۦۚ وَيَوۡمَ يُنَادِيهِمۡ أَيۡنَ شُرَكَآءِي قَالُوٓاْ ءَاذَنَّٰكَ مَا مِنَّا مِن شَهِيدٖ ٤٧

اِلَيْهِ يُرَدُّ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِؕ وَمَا تَخْرُجُ مِنْ ثَمَرٰتٍ مِّنْ اَكْمَامِهَا وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ اُنْثٰي وَلَا تَضَعُ اِلَّا بِعِلْمِهٖؕ وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيْهِمْ اَيْنَ شُرَكَا࢜ءِيْۙ قَالُوْٓا اٰذَنّٰكَۙ مَا مِنَّا مِنْ شَهِيْدٍ ۝٤٧ۚ

To Him [alone] is attributed knowledge of the Hour. And fruits emerge not from their coverings nor does a female conceive or give birth except with His knowledge. And the Day He will call to them, "Where are My 'partners'?" they will say, "We announce to You that there is [no longer] among us any witness [to that]."

وَلَئِنۡ أَذَقۡنَٰهُ رَحۡمَةٗ مِّنَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتۡهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ هَٰذَا لِي وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةٗ وَلَئِن رُّجِعۡتُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّيٓ إِنَّ لِي عِندَهُۥ لَلۡحُسۡنَىٰۚ فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم مِّنۡ عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٖ ٥٠

وَلَىِٕنْ اَذَقْنٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ضَرَّا࢜ءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُوْلَنَّ هٰذَا لِيْۙ وَمَا͏ٓ اَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَا࢜ىِٕمَةًۙ وَّلَىِٕنْ رُّجِعْتُ اِلٰي رَبِّيْٓ اِنَّ لِيْ عِنْدَهٗ لَلْحُسْنٰيۚ فَلَنُنَبِّي͏ٔ͏َنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِمَا عَمِلُوْاؗ وَلَنُذِيْقَنَّهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِيْظٍ ۝٥٠

And if We let him taste mercy from Us after an adversity which has touched him, he will surely say, "This is [due] to me, and I do not think the Hour will occur; and [even] if I should be returned to my Lord, indeed, for me there will be with Him the best." But We will surely inform those who disbelieved about what they did, and We will surely make them taste a massive punishment.

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَٱلۡمِيزَانَۗ وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَرِيبٞ ١٧

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْٓ اَنْزَلَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ وَالْمِيْزَانَؕ وَمَا يُدْرِيْكَ لَعَلَّ السَّاعَةَ قَرِيْبٌ ۝١٧

It is Allāh who has sent down the Book in truth and [also] the balance [i.e., justice]. And what will make you perceive? Perhaps the Hour is near.

يَسۡتَعۡجِلُ بِهَا ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهَاۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مُشۡفِقُونَ مِنۡهَا وَيَعۡلَمُونَ أَنَّهَا ٱلۡحَقُّۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُمَارُونَ فِي ٱلسَّاعَةِ لَفِي ضَلَٰلِۭ بَعِيدٍ ١٨

يَسْتَعْجِلُ بِهَا الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُوْنَ بِهَاۚ وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مُشْفِقُوْنَ مِنْهَاۙ وَيَعْلَمُوْنَ اَنَّهَا الْحَقُّؕ اَلَا͏ٓ اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يُمَارُوْنَ فِي السَّاعَةِ لَفِيْ ضَلٰلٍۭ بَعِيْدٍ ۝١٨

Those who do not believe in it are impatient for it, but those who believe are fearful of it and know that it is the truth. Unquestionably, those who dispute concerning the Hour are in extreme error.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَعِلۡمٞ لِّلسَّاعَةِ فَلَا تَمۡتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَٱتَّبِعُونِۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٞ مُّسۡتَقِيمٞ ٦١

وَاِنَّهٗ لَعِلْمٌ لِّلسَّاعَةِ فَلَا تَمْتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَاتَّبِعُوْنِؕ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيْمٌ ۝٦١

And indeed, he [i.e., Jesus] will be [a sign for] knowledge of the Hour, so be not in doubt of it, and follow Me. This is a straight path.

هَلۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ٦٦

هَلْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا السَّاعَةَ اَنْ تَاْتِيَهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَّهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ ۝٦٦

Are they waiting except for the Hour to come upon them suddenly while they perceive not?

وَتَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا وَعِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ ٨٥

وَتَبٰرَكَ الَّذِيْ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَاۚ وَعِنْدَهٗ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِۚ وَاِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ۝٨٥

And blessed is He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them and with whom is knowledge of the Hour and to whom you will be returned.

وَلِلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَيَوۡمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَخۡسَرُ ٱلۡمُبۡطِلُونَ ٢٧

وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِؕ وَيَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ يَّخْسَرُ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ ۝٢٧

And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. And the Day the Hour appears - that Day the falsifiers will lose.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهَا قُلۡتُم مَّا نَدۡرِي مَا ٱلسَّاعَةُ إِن نَّظُنُّ إِلَّا ظَنّٗا وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُسۡتَيۡقِنِينَ ٣٢

وَاِذَا قِيْلَ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّالسَّاعَةُ لَا رَيْبَ فِيْهَا قُلْتُمْ مَّا نَدْرِيْ مَا السَّاعَةُۙ اِنْ نَّظُنُّ اِلَّا ظَنًّا وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِمُسْتَيْقِنِيْنَ ۝٣٢

And when it was said, 'Indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth and the Hour [is coming] - no doubt about it,' you said, 'We know not what is the Hour. We assume only assumption, and we are not convinced.'"

فَهَلۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗۖ فَقَدۡ جَآءَ أَشۡرَاطُهَاۚ فَأَنَّىٰ لَهُمۡ إِذَا جَآءَتۡهُمۡ ذِكۡرَىٰهُمۡ ١٨

فَهَلْ يَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا السَّاعَةَ اَنْ تَاْتِيَهُمْ بَغْتَةًۚ فَقَدْ جَا࢜ءَ اَشْرَاطُهَاۚ فَاَنّٰي لَهُمْ اِذَا جَا࢜ءَتْهُمْ ذِكْرٰىهُمْ ۝١٨

Then do they await except that the Hour should come upon them unexpectedly? But already there have come [some of] its indications. Then how [i.e., what good] to them, when it has come, will be their remembrance?

وَنُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡوَعِيدِ ٢٠

وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّوْرِؕ ذٰلِكَ يَوْمُ الْوَعِيْدِ ۝٢٠

And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat.

وَٱسۡتَمِعۡ يَوۡمَ يُنَادِ ٱلۡمُنَادِ مِن مَّكَانٖ قَرِيبٖ ٤١

وَاسْتَمِعْ يَوْمَ يُنَادِ الْمُنَادِ مِنْ مَّكَانٍ قَرِيْبٍ ۝٤١ۙ

And listen on the Day when the Caller will call out from a place that is near -

يَوۡمَ يَسۡمَعُونَ ٱلصَّيۡحَةَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡخُرُوجِ ٤٢

يَّوْمَ يَسْمَعُوْنَ الصَّيْحَةَ بِالْحَقِّؕ ذٰلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخُرُوْجِ ۝٤٢

The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves].

يَوۡمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوۡرٗا ٩

يَّوْمَ تَمُوْرُ السَّمَا࢜ءُ مَوْرًا ۝٩ۙ

On the Day the heaven will sway with circular motion

وَتَسِيرُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ سَيۡرٗا ١٠

وَّتَسِيْرُ الْجِبَالُ سَيْرًا ۝١٠ؕ

And the mountains will pass on, departing -

أَزِفَتِ ٱلۡأٓزِفَةُ ٥٧

اَزِفَتِ الْاٰزِفَةُ ۝٥٧ۚ

The Approaching Day has approached.

لَيۡسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ ٥٨

لَيْسَ لَهَا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ كَاشِفَةٌ ۝٥٨ؕ

Of it, [from those] besides Allāh, there is no remover.

ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ١

اِقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ ۝١

The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].

بَلِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ مَوۡعِدُهُمۡ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ أَدۡهَىٰ وَأَمَرُّ ٤٦

بَلِ السَّاعَةُ مَوْعِدُهُمْ وَالسَّاعَةُ اَدْهٰي وَاَمَرُّ ۝٤٦

But the Hour is their appointment [for due punishment], and the Hour is more disastrous and more bitter.

فَإِذَا ٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ وَرۡدَةٗ كَٱلدِّهَانِ ٣٧

فَاِذَا انْشَقَّتِ السَّمَا࢜ءُ فَكَانَتْ وَرْدَةً كَالدِّهَانِ ۝٣٧ۚ

And when the heaven is split open and becomes rose-colored like oil -

إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ ١

اِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ ۝١ۙ

When the Occurrence occurs,

لَيۡسَ لِوَقۡعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ ٢

لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ ۝٢ۘ

There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ رَجّٗا ٤

اِذَا رُجَّتِ الْاَرْضُ رَجًّا ۝٤ۙ

When the earth is shaken with convulsion

وَبُسَّتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ بَسّٗا ٥

وَّبُسَّتِ الْجِبَالُ بَسًّا ۝٥ۙ

And the mountains are broken down, crumbling

فَكَانَتۡ هَبَآءٗ مُّنۢبَثّٗا ٦

فَكَانَتْ هَبَا࢜ءً مُّنۢ͏ْبَثًّا ۝٦ۙ

And become dust dispersing,

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٢٥

وَيَقُوْلُوْنَ مَتٰي هٰذَا الْوَعْدُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ ۝٢٥

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

قُلۡ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡعِلۡمُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ ٢٦

قُلْ اِنَّمَا الْعِلْمُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِࣕ وَاِنَّمَا͏ٓ اَنَا نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ۝٢٦

Say, "The knowledge is only with Allāh, and I am only a clear warner."

فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهُ زُلۡفَةٗ سِيٓـَٔتۡ وُجُوهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَقِيلَ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَدَّعُونَ ٢٧

فَلَمَّا رَاَوْهُ زُلْفَةً سِيْ࢜ـَٔتْ وُجُوْهُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَقِيْلَ هٰذَا الَّذِيْ كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تَدَّعُوْنَ ۝٢٧

But when they see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, "This is that for which you used to call."

ٱلۡحَآقَّةُ ١

اَلْحَا࢜قَّةُ ۝١ۙ

The Inevitable Reality -

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ وَعَادُۢ بِٱلۡقَارِعَةِ ٤

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُوْدُ وَعَادٌۢ بِالْقَارِعَةِ ۝٤

Thamūd and ʿAad denied the Striking Calamity [i.e., the Resurrection].

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي ٱلصُّورِ نَفۡخَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ ١٣

فَاِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّوْرِ نَفْخَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ ۝١٣ۙ

Then when the Horn is blown with one blast

وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ ١٤

وَّحُمِلَتِ الْاَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَّاحِدَةً ۝١٤ۙ

And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow [i.e., stroke] -

فَيَوۡمَئِذٖ وَقَعَتِ ٱلۡوَاقِعَةُ ١٥

فَيَوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ ۝١٥ۙ

Then on that Day, the Occurrence [i.e., Resurrection] will occur,

وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِيَ يَوۡمَئِذٖ وَاهِيَةٞ ١٦

وَانْشَقَّتِ السَّمَا࢜ءُ فَهِيَ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّاهِيَةٌ ۝١٦ۙ

And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.

وَنَرَىٰهُ قَرِيبٗا ٧

وَّنَرٰىهُ قَرِيْبًا ۝٧ؕ

But We see it [as] near.

يَوۡمَ تَكُونُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ ٨

يَوْمَ تَكُوْنُ السَّمَا࢜ءُ كَالْمُهْلِ ۝٨ۙ

On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,

وَتَكُونُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَٱلۡعِهۡنِ ٩

وَتَكُوْنُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ ۝٩ۙ

And the mountains will be like wool,

قُلۡ إِنۡ أَدۡرِيٓ أَقَرِيبٞ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ أَمۡ يَجۡعَلُ لَهُۥ رَبِّيٓ أَمَدًا ٢٥

قُلْ اِنْ اَدْرِيْٓ اَقَرِيْبٌ مَّا تُوْعَدُوْنَ اَمْ يَجْعَلُ لَهٗ رَبِّيْٓ اَمَدًا ۝٢٥

Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period."

يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَثِيبٗا مَّهِيلًا ١٤

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الْاَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَثِيْبًا مَّهِيْلًا ۝١٤

On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down.

ٱلسَّمَآءُ مُنفَطِرُۢ بِهِۦۚ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُۥ مَفۡعُولًا ١٨

اࣙلسَّمَا࢜ءُ مُنْفَطِرٌۢ بِهٖؕ كَانَ وَعْدُهٗ مَفْعُوْلًا ۝١٨

The heaven will break apart therefrom; ever is His promise fulfilled.

فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي ٱلنَّاقُورِ ٨

فَاِذَا نُقِرَ فِي النَّاقُوْرِ ۝٨ۙ

And when the trumpet is blown,

يَسۡـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوۡمُ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ ٦

يَسْـَٔلُ اَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيٰمَةِ ۝٦ؕ

He asks, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ ٧

فَاِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ ۝٧ۙ

So when vision is dazzled

وَخَسَفَ ٱلۡقَمَرُ ٨

وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ ۝٨ۙ

And the moon darkens

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ ٩

وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ ۝٩ۙ

And the sun and the moon are joined,

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتۡ ٨

فَاِذَا النُّجُوْمُ طُمِسَتْ ۝٨ۙ

So when the stars are obliterated

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتۡ ٩

وَاِذَا السَّمَا࢜ءُ فُرِجَتْ ۝٩ۙ

And when the heaven is opened

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ نُسِفَتۡ ١٠

وَاِذَا الْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ ۝١٠ۙ

And when the mountains are blown away

يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأۡتُونَ أَفۡوَاجٗا ١٨

يَّوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّوْرِ فَتَاْتُوْنَ اَفْوَاجًا ۝١٨ۙ

The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتۡ أَبۡوَٰبٗا ١٩

وَّفُتِحَتِ السَّمَا࢜ءُ فَكَانَتْ اَبْوَابًا ۝١٩ۙ

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ فَكَانَتۡ سَرَابًا ٢٠

وَّسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا ۝٢٠ؕ

And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.

يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ٦

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ ۝٦ۙ

On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

تَتۡبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ٧

تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ ۝٧ؕ

There will follow it the subsequent [one].

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ ١٣

فَاِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ ۝١٣ۙ

Indeed, it will be but one shout,

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ٣٤

فَاِذَا جَا࢜ءَتِ الطَّا࢜مَّةُ الْكُبْرٰي ۝٣٤ؗۖ

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَا ٤٢

يَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَيَّانَ مُرْسٰىهَا ۝٤٢ؕ

They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكۡرَىٰهَآ ٤٣

فِيْمَ اَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرٰىهَا ۝٤٣ؕ

In what [position] are you that you should mention it?

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ٤٤

اِلٰي رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهٰىهَا ۝٤٤ؕ

To your Lord is its finality.

كَأَنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَهَا لَمۡ يَلۡبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوۡ ضُحَىٰهَا ٤٦

كَاَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوْٓا اِلَّا عَشِيَّةً اَوْ ضُحٰىهَا ۝٤٦

It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ ٣٣

فَاِذَا جَا࢜ءَتِ الصَّا࢜خَّةُ ۝٣٣ؗ

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

إِذَا ٱلشَّمۡسُ كُوِّرَتۡ ١

اِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ ۝١ࣕۙ

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتۡ ٢

وَاِذَا النُّجُوْمُ انْكَدَرَتْ ۝٢ࣕۙ

And when the stars fall, dispersing,

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتۡ ٣

And when the mountains are removed

وَإِذَا ٱلۡعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتۡ ٤

وَاِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ ۝٤ࣕۙ

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

وَإِذَا ٱلۡوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتۡ ٥

وَاِذَا الْوُحُوْشُ حُشِرَتْ ۝٥ࣕۙ

And when the wild beasts are gathered

وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتۡ ٦

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنفَطَرَتۡ ١

اِذَا السَّمَا࢜ءُ انْفَطَرَتْ ۝١ۙ

When the sky breaks apart

وَإِذَا ٱلۡكَوَاكِبُ ٱنتَثَرَتۡ ٢

وَاِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انْتَثَرَتْ ۝٢ۙ

And when the stars fall, scattering,

وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتۡ ٣

وَاِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ ۝٣ۙ

And when the seas are erupted

وَإِذَا ٱلۡقُبُورُ بُعۡثِرَتۡ ٤

وَاِذَا الْقُبُوْرُ بُعْثِرَتْ ۝٤ۙ

And when the [contents of] graves are scattered [i.e., exposed],

إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتۡ ١

اِذَا السَّمَا࢜ءُ انْشَقَّتْ ۝١ۙ

When the sky has split [open]

وَإِذَا ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مُدَّتۡ ٣

وَاِذَا الْاَرْضُ مُدَّتْ ۝٣ؕ

And when the earth has been extended

وَأَلۡقَتۡ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتۡ ٤

وَاَلْقَتْ مَا فِيْهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ ۝٤ۙ

And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلۡغَٰشِيَةِ ١

هَلْ اَتٰىكَ حَدِيْثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ ۝١ؕ

Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?

كـَلَّآۖ إِذَا دُكَّتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ دَكّٗا دَكّٗا ٢١

كَلَّا͏ٓ اِذَا دُكَّتِ الْاَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا ۝٢١ۙ

No! When the earth has been leveled - pounded and crushed

إِذَا زُلۡزِلَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ زِلۡزَالَهَا ١

اِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْاَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا ۝١ۙ

When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake

وَأَخۡرَجَتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ أَثۡقَالَهَا ٢

وَاَخْرَجَتِ الْاَرْضُ اَثْقَالَهَا ۝٢ۙ

And the earth discharges its burdens

وَقَالَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا لَهَا ٣

وَقَالَ الْاِنْسَانُ مَا لَهَا ۝٣ۚ

And man says, "What is [wrong] with it?" -

ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ ١

اَلْقَارِعَةُ ۝١ۙ

The Striking Calamity -

مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ ٢

مَا الْقَارِعَةُ ۝٢ۚ

What is the Striking Calamity?

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡقَارِعَةُ ٣
