إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ

إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ

Blackening the skins.
عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ
Interpretation:
Over it are nineteen [angels].
وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةًۭ ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةًۭ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَٰنًۭا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌۭ وَٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًۭا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ
Interpretation:
And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.
كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ
Interpretation:
No! By the moon
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ

إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ
Interpretation:
Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]
نَذِيرًۭا لِّلْبَشَرِ

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ
Interpretation:
To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.
كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ

Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained
إِلَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Interpretation:
Except the companions of the right,
فِى جَنَّٰتٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Interpretation:
[Who will be] in gardens, questioning each other
عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
Interpretation:
About the criminals,
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ
Interpretation:
[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"
قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ
Interpretation:
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ
Interpretation:
Nor did we used to feed the poor.
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ
Interpretation:
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Interpretation:
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ
Interpretation:
Until there came to us the certainty."
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ
Interpretation:
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ
Interpretation:
Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌۭ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌۭ
Interpretation:
As if they were alarmed donkeys
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ
Interpretation:
Fleeing from a lion?
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًۭا مُّنَشَّرَةًۭ
Interpretation:
Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ
Interpretation:
No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌۭ
Interpretation:
No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
Interpretation:
Then whoever wills will remember it.
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ
Interpretation:
And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
