عم يتساءلونJuz 30 (Para 30) — Amma Yatasa'aloon, page 3

بِأَيۡدِي سَفَرَةٖ

[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels

كِرَامِۭ بَرَرَةٖ

Noble and dutiful

قُتِلَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكۡفَرَهُۥ

Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he

مِنۡ أَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ

From what substance did He create him

مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ

From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him

ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ

Then He eased the way for him

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقۡبَرَهُۥ

Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him

ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him

كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقۡضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ

No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him

فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ

Then let mankind look at his food

أَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا ٱلۡمَآءَ صَبّٗا

How We poured down water in torrents

ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ شَقّٗا

Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts]

فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا حَبّٗا

And caused to grow within it grain

وَعِنَبٗا وَقَضۡبٗا

And grapes and herbage

وَزَيۡتُونٗا وَنَخۡلٗا

And olive and palm trees

وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلۡبٗا

And gardens of dense shrubbery

وَفَٰكِهَةٗ وَأَبّٗا

And fruit and grass

مَّتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ

[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ

But when there comes the Deafening Blast

يَوۡمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مِنۡ أَخِيهِ

On the Day a man will flee from his brother

وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ

And his mother and his father

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ

And his wife and his children

لِكُلِّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ شَأۡنٞ يُغۡنِيهِ

For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ مُّسۡفِرَةٞ

[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright

ضَاحِكَةٞ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٞ

Laughing, rejoicing at good news

وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَلَيۡهَا غَبَرَةٞ

And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust

تَرۡهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ

Blackness will cover them

أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَفَرَةُ ٱلۡفَجَرَةُ

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones

إِذَا ٱلشَّمۡسُ كُوِّرَتۡ

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتۡ

And when the stars fall, dispersing

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتۡ

And when the mountains are removed

وَإِذَا ٱلۡعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتۡ

And when full-term she-camels are neglected

وَإِذَا ٱلۡوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتۡ

And when the wild beasts are gathered

وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتۡ

And when the seas are filled with flame

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتۡ

And when the souls are paired

وَإِذَا ٱلۡمَوۡءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتۡ

And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked

بِأَيِّ ذَنۢبٖ قُتِلَتۡ

For what sin she was killed

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتۡ

And when the pages are made public

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡ

And when the sky is stripped away

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتۡ

And when Hellfire is set ablaze

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُزۡلِفَتۡ

And when Paradise is brought near

عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٞ مَّآ أَحۡضَرَتۡ

A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it]

فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ

So I swear by the retreating stars

ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ

Those that run [their courses] and disappear

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ

And by the night as it closes in

وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

And by the dawn when it breathes

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ

[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger

ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِينٖ

[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position]

مُّطَاعٖ ثَمَّ أَمِينٖ

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجۡنُونٖ

And your companion is not [at all] mad
