  1. قل كونوا حجارة أو حديدا

    50

    Say, ‘[That is bound to happen] even if you should become stones, or iron,

    qul kūnū ḥijāratan ʾaw ḥadīdan

  2. أو خلقا مما يكبر في صدوركم فسيقولون من يعيدنا قل الذي فطركم أول مرة فسينغضون إليك رءوسهم ويقولون متى هو قل عسى أن يكون قريبا

    51

    or a creature more fantastic to your minds!’ They will say, ‘Who will bring us back?’ Say, ‘He who originated you the first time.’ They will nod their heads at you, and say, ‘When will that be?’ Say, ‘Maybe it is near!

    ʾaw khalqan mimmā yakburu fī ṣudūrikum fa-sa-yaqūlūna man yuʿīdunā quli lladhī faṭarakum ʾawwala marratin fa-sa-yunghiḍūna ʾilayka ruʾūsahum wa-yaqūlūna matā huwa qul ʿasā ʾan yakūna qarīban

  3. يوم يدعوكم فتستجيبون بحمده وتظنون إن لبثتم إلا قليلا

    52

    The day He calls you, you will respond to Him, praising Him, and you will think you remained [in the world] only for a little while.’

    yawma yadʿūkum fa-tastajībūna bi-ḥamdihī wa-taẓunnūna ʾin labithtum ʾillā qalīlan

  4. وقل لعبادي يقولوا التي هي أحسن إن الشيطان ينزغ بينهم إن الشيطان كان للإنسان عدوا مبينا

    53

    Tell My servants to speak in a manner which is the best. Indeed Satan incites ill feeling between them, and Satan is indeed man’s manifest enemy.

    wa-qul li-ʿibādī yaqūlū llatī hiya ʾaḥsanu ʾinna sh-shayṭāna yanzaghu baynahum ʾinna sh-shayṭāna kāna li-l-ʾinsāni ʿaduwwan mubīnan

  5. ربكم أعلم بكم إن يشأ يرحمكم أو إن يشأ يعذبكم وما أرسلناك عليهم وكيلا

    54

    Your Lord knows you best. He will have mercy on you if He wishes, or punish you, if He wishes, and We did not send you to watch over them.

    rabbukum ʾaʿlamu bikum ʾin yashaʾ yarḥamkum ʾaw ʾin yashaʾ yuʿadhdhibkum wa-mā ʾarsalnāka ʿalayhim wakīlan

  6. وربك أعلم بمن في السماوات والأرض ولقد فضلنا بعض النبيين على بعض وآتينا داوود زبورا

    55

    Your Lord knows best whoever is in the heavens and the earth. Certainly, We gave some prophets an advantage over the others, and We gave David the Psalms.

    wa-rabbuka ʾaʿlamu bi-man fī s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍi wa-la-qad faḍḍalnā baʿḍa n-nabiyyīna ʿalā baʿḍin wa-ʾātaynā dāwūda zabūran

  7. قل ادعوا الذين زعمتم من دونه فلا يملكون كشف الضر عنكم ولا تحويلا

    56

    Say, ‘Invoke those whom you claim [to be gods] besides Him. They have no power to remove your distress, nor to bring about any change [in your state].

    quli dʿū lladhīna zaʿamtum min dūnihī fa-lā yamlikūna kashfa ḍ-ḍurri ʿankum wa-lā taḥwīlan

  8. أولئك الذين يدعون يبتغون إلى ربهم الوسيلة أيهم أقرب ويرجون رحمته ويخافون عذابه إن عذاب ربك كان محذورا

    57

    They [themselves] are the ones who supplicate, seeking a recourse to their Lord, whoever is nearer [to Him], expecting His mercy and fearing His punishment.’ Indeed your Lord’s punishment is a thing to beware of.

    ʾulāʾika lladhīna yadʿūna yabtaghūna ʾilā rabbihimu l-wasīlata ʾayyuhum ʾaqrabu wa-yarjūna raḥmatahū wa-yakhāfūna ʿadhābahū ʾinna ʿadhāba rabbika kāna maḥdhūran

  9. وإن من قرية إلا نحن مهلكوها قبل يوم القيامة أو معذبوها عذابا شديدا كان ذلك في الكتاب مسطورا

    58

    There is not a town but We will destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe punishment. That has been written in the Book.

    wa-ʾin min qaryatin ʾillā naḥnu muhlikūhā qabla yawmi l-qiyāmati ʾaw muʿadhdhibūhā ʿadhāban shadīdan kāna dhālika fī l-kitābi masṭūran
