Difficult to create
Or the heaven (above)?

Its canopy, and He hath
Given it order and perfection.

Endow with darkness,
And its splendour doth He
Bring out (with light).

Hath He extended
(To a wide expanse);

31. Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

Therefrom its moisture
And its pasture;

32. Waaljibala arsaha

Hath He firmly fixed;

To you and your cattle.

The great, overwhelming (Event),—

Shall remember (all)
That he strove for,

36. Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

36. And Hell-Fire shall be
Placed in full view
For (all) to see,—

37. Faamma man tagha

Transgressed all bounds,

38. Waathara alhayata alddunya

The life of this world,

Hell-Fire;

40. Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa

40. And for such as had
Entertained the fear
Of standing before
Their Lord's (tribunal)
And had restrained
(Their) soul from lower Desires,

41. Fa-inna aljannata hiya alma/wa

41. Their Abode will be
The Garden.

42. Yas-aloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

42. They ask thee
About the Hour,—"When
Will be its appointed time?"

43. Feema anta min thikraha

With the declaration thereof?

44. Ila rabbika muntahaha

The Limit fixed therefor.

For such as fear it.

46. The Day they see it,
(It will be) as if they
Had tarried but a single
Evening, or (at most till)
The following morn!
