And said, “This is nothing but magic from the past
إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ
In haazaaa illaa qawlul bashar
This is nothing but the word of a mortal.”

وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَـٰٓئِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَـٰنًا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَـٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِىَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ

We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and caused their number to be a stumbling block for those who disbelieve; so that those given the Scripture may attain certainty; and those who believe may increase in faith; and those given the Scripture and the believers may not doubt; and those in whose hearts is sickness and the unbelievers may say, “What did God intend by this parable?” Thus God leads astray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. None knows the soldiers of your Lord except He. This is nothing but a reminder for the mortals
كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ
Kallaa walqamar
Nay! By the moon
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ
Wallaili adbar
And the night as it retreats
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ
Wassub hi izaaa asfar
And the morning as it lights up
إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ
Innahaa la ihdal kubar
It is one of the greatest
نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ
Nazeeral lilbashar
A warning to the mortals
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ
Liman shaaa'a minkum any yataqaddama aw yata akhkhar
To whomever among you wishes to advance, or regress
كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ
Kullu nafsim bim kasabat raheenah
Every soul is hostage to what it has earned
إِلَّآ أَصْحَـٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Illaaa as haabal yameen
Except for those on the Right
فِى جَنَّـٰتٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Fee jannaatiny yata saaa'aloon
In Gardens, inquiring
عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
'Anil mujrimeen
About the guilty
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ
Maa salakakum fee saqar
“What drove you into Saqar?”
قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ
Qaaloo lam naku minal musalleen
They will say, “We were not of those who prayed
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ
Wa lam naku nut'imul miskeen
Nor did we feed the destitute
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ
Wa kunnaa nakhoodu ma'al khaaa'ideen
And we used to indulge with those who indulge
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Wa kunnaa nukazzibu bi yawmid Deen
And we used to deny the Day of Judgment
حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ
Hattaaa ataanal yaqeen
Until the Inevitable came upon us.”
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَـٰعَةُ ٱلشَّـٰفِعِينَ
Famaa tanfa'uhum shafaa'atush shaafi'een
But the intercession of intercessors will not help them
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ
Famaa lahum 'anittazkirati mu'rideen
Why are they turning away from the Reminder
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ
Ka annahum humurum mustanfirah
As though they were panicked donkeys
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ
Farrat min qaswarah
Fleeing from a lion
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً
Bal yureedu kullum ri'im minhum any yu'taa suhufam munashsharah
Yet every one of them desires to be given scrolls unrolled
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ
Kallaa bal laa yakhaafoonal aakhirah
No indeed! But they do not fear the Hereafter
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌ
Kallaaa innahoo tazkirah
Nevertheless, it is a reminder
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
Fa man shaaa'a zakarah
So whoever wills, shall remember it
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ
Wa maa yazkuroona illaaa any yashaaa'al laah; Huwa ahlut taqwaa wa ahlul maghfirah
But they will not remember, unless God wills. He is the Source of Righteousness, and the Source of Forgiveness
