سُورَةُ الشُّعَرَاءِ

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ

They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ

And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

So for Our punishment are they impatient?

أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ

Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ

And then there came to them that which they were promised?

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ

And the devils have not brought the revelation down.
