Surah Ad-Dukhaan

يَوْمَلَايُغْنِىمَوْلًىعَنمَّوْلًۭىشَيْـًۭٔاوَلَاهُمْيُنصَرُونَ

the Day when no friend shall be of the least avail to his friend, and when none shall be succoured

إِلَّامَنرَّحِمَٱللَّهُإِنَّهُۥهُوَٱلْعَزِيزُٱلرَّحِيمُ

save those upon whom God will have bestowed His grace and mercy: for, verily, He alone is almighty, a dispenser of grace.

إِنَّشَجَرَتَٱلزَّقُّومِ

Verily, [in the life to come] the tree of deadly fruit

طَعَامُٱلْأَثِيمِ

will be the food of the sinful:

كَٱلْمُهْلِيَغْلِىفِىٱلْبُطُونِ

like molten lead will it boil in the belly,

كَغَلْىِٱلْحَمِيمِ

like the boiling of burning despair.

خُذُوهُفَٱعْتِلُوهُإِلَىٰسَوَآءِٱلْجَحِيمِ

[And the word will be spoken:] “Seize him, [O you forces of hell,] and drag him into the midst of the blazing fire:

ثُمَّصُبُّوا۟فَوْقَرَأْسِهِۦمِنْعَذَابِٱلْحَمِيمِ

then pour over his head the anguish of burning despair!

ذُقْإِنَّكَأَنتَٱلْعَزِيزُٱلْكَرِيمُ

Taste it - thou who [on earth] hast considered thyself so mighty, so noble!

إِنَّهَٰذَامَاكُنتُمبِهِۦتَمْتَرُونَ

This is the very thing which you [deniers of the truth] were wont to call in question!”

إِنَّٱلْمُتَّقِينَفِىمَقَامٍأَمِينٍۢ

[As against this -] verily, the God-conscious will find themselves in a state secure,

فِىجَنَّٰتٍۢوَعُيُونٍۢ

amid gardens and springs,

يَلْبَسُونَمِنسُندُسٍۢوَإِسْتَبْرَقٍۢمُّتَقَٰبِلِينَ

wearing [garments] of silk and brocade, facing one another [in love].

كَذَٰلِكَوَزَوَّجْنَٰهُمبِحُورٍعِينٍۢ

Thus shall it be. And We shall pair them with companions pure, most beautiful of eye.

يَدْعُونَفِيهَابِكُلِّفَٰكِهَةٍءَامِنِينَ

In that [paradise] they shall [rightfully] claim all the fruits [of their past deeds], resting in security;

لَايَذُوقُونَفِيهَاٱلْمَوْتَإِلَّاٱلْمَوْتَةَٱلْأُولَىٰوَوَقَىٰهُمْعَذَابَٱلْجَحِيمِ

and neither shall they taste death there after having passed through their erstwhile death. Thus will He have preserved them from all suffer­ing through the blazing fire-

فَضْلًۭامِّنرَّبِّكَذَٰلِكَهُوَٱلْفَوْزُٱلْعَظِيمُ

an act of thy Sustainer’s favour: and that, that will be the triumph supreme!

فَإِنَّمَايَسَّرْنَٰهُبِلِسَانِكَلَعَلَّهُمْيَتَذَكَّرُونَ

THUS, THEN, [O Prophet,] have We made this [divine writ] easy to understand, in thine own [human] tongue, so that men might take it to heart.

فَٱرْتَقِبْإِنَّهُممُّرْتَقِبُونَ

So wait thou [for what the future will bring]: behold, they, too, are waiting.
