وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَاسْجُدْ لَهُ وَسَبِّحْهُ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا ٢٦

And during the night prostrate to Him and exalt [i.e., praise] Him a long [part of the] night.

إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ يُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَاءَهُمْ يَوْمًا ثَقِيلًا ٢٧

Indeed, these [disbelievers] love the immediate and leave behind them a grave Day.

نَّحْنُ خَلَقْنَاهُمْ وَشَدَدْنَا أَسْرَهُمْ وَإِذَا شِئْنَا بَدَّلْنَا أَمْثَالَهُمْ تَبْدِيلًا ٢٨

We have created them and strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likenesses with [complete] alteration.

إِنَّ هَٰذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا ٢٩

Indeed, this is a reminder, so he who wills may take to his Lord a way.

وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا ٣٠

And you do not will except that Allāh wills. Indeed, Allāh is ever Knowing and Wise.

يُدْخِلُ مَن يَشَاءُ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ وَالظَّالِمِينَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا ٣١

He admits whom He wills into His mercy; but the wrongdoers - He has prepared for them a painful punishment.

وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا ١

By those [winds] sent forth in gusts

فَالْعَاصِفَاتِ عَصْفًا ٢

And the winds that blow violently

وَالنَّاشِرَاتِ نَشْرًا ٣

And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

فَالْفَارِقَاتِ فَرْقًا ٤

And those [angels] who bring criterion

فَالْمُلْقِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا ٥

And those [angels] who deliver a message

عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا ٦

As justification or warning,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَاقِعٌ ٧

Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.

فَإِذَا النُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ ٨

So when the stars are obliterated

وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ فُرِجَتْ ٩

And when the heaven is opened

وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ ١٠

And when the mountains are blown away

وَإِذَا الرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ ١١

And when the messengers' time has come...

لِأَيِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ ١٢

For what Day was it postponed?

لِيَوْمِ الْفَصْلِ ١٣

For the Day of Judgement.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ ١٤

And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement?

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٥

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ الْأَوَّلِينَ ١٦

Did We not destroy the former peoples?

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ الْآخِرِينَ ١٧

Then We will follow them with the later ones.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ ١٨

Thus do We deal with the criminals.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٩

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.
