وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍ ٣٦

Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;

لَّا يَأْكُلُهُ إِلَّا الْخَاطِئُونَ ٣٧

None will eat it except the sinners.

فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ ٣٨

So I swear by what you see

وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ ٣٩

And what you do not see

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ ٤٠

[That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is the word of a noble Messenger.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ قَلِيلًا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ ٤١

And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.

وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٤٢

Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.

تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ٤٣

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الْأَقَاوِيلِ ٤٤

And if he [i.e., Muḥammad] had made up about Us some [false] sayings,

لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ ٤٥

We would have seized him by the right hand;

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ ٤٦

Then We would have cut from him the aorta.

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَاجِزِينَ ٤٧

And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.

وَإِنَّهُ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ٤٨

And indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder for the righteous.

وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ ٤٩

And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.

وَإِنَّهُ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ ٥٠

And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.

وَإِنَّهُ لَحَقُّ الْيَقِينِ ٥١

And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.

فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ ٥٢

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

سَأَلَ سَائِلٌ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ ١

A supplicant asked for a punishment bound to happen

لِّلْكَافِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُ دَافِعٌ ٢

To the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer.

مِّنَ اللَّهِ ذِي الْمَعَارِجِ ٣

[It is] from Allāh, owner of the ways of ascent.

تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ ٤

The angels and the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] will ascend to Him during a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years.

فَاصْبِرْ صَبْرًا جَمِيلًا ٥

So be patient with gracious patience.

إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيدًا ٦

Indeed, they see it [as] distant,

وَنَرَاهُ قَرِيبًا ٧

But We see it [as] near.

يَوْمَ تَكُونُ السَّمَاءُ كَالْمُهْلِ ٨

On the Day the sky will be like murky oil,

وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ ٩

And the mountains will be like wool,

وَلَا يَسْأَلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا ١٠

And no friend will ask [anything of] a friend,
