وَمَا أَمْرُنَا إِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ كَلَمْحٍ بِالْبَصَرِ ٥٠

And Our command is but one, like a glance of the eye.

وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا أَشْيَاعَكُمْ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ٥١

And We have already destroyed your kinds, so is there any who will remember?

وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ فَعَلُوهُ فِي الزُّبُرِ ٥٢

And everything they did is in written records.

وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ مُّسْتَطَرٌ ٥٣

And every small and great [thing] is inscribed.

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَنَهَرٍ ٥٤

Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and rivers,

فِي مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِندَ مَلِيكٍ مُّقْتَدِرٍ ٥٥

In a seat of honor near a Sovereign, Perfect in Ability.

And the heaven He raised and imposed the balance

أَلَّا تَطْغَوْا فِي الْمِيزَانِ ٨

That you not transgress within the balance.

وَأَقِيمُوا الْوَزْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلَا تُخْسِرُوا الْمِيزَانَ ٩

وَالْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهَا لِلْأَنَامِ ١٠

فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَالنَّخْلُ ذَاتُ الْأَكْمَامِ ١١

وَالْحَبُّ ذُو الْعَصْفِ وَالرَّيْحَانُ ١٢
