Surah Az-Zumar (The Troops) in English

1. ونفخ في الصور فصعق من في السماوات ومن في الأرض إلا من شاء الله ثم نفخ فيه أخرى فإذا هم قيام ينظرون

   68

   And the Trumpet will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens will swoon and whoever is on the earth, except whomever Allah wishes. Then it will be blown a second time, behold, they will rise up, looking on!

   wa-nufikha fī ṣ-ṣūri fa-ṣaʿiqa man fī s-samāwāti wa-man fī l-ʾarḍi ʾillā man shāʾa llāhu thumma nufikha fīhi ʾukhrā fa-ʾidhā hum qiyāmun yanẓurūna

2. وأشرقت الأرض بنور ربها ووضع الكتاب وجيء بالنبيين والشهداء وقضي بينهم بالحق وهم لا يظلمون

   69

   The earth will glow with the light of her Lord, and the Book will be set up, and the prophets and the martyrs will be brought, and judgment will be made between them with justice, and they will not be wronged.

   wa-ʾashraqati l-ʾarḍu bi-n-nūri rabbihā wa-wuḍiʿa l-kitābu wa-jīʾa bi-n-nabiyyīna wa-sh-shuhadāʾi wa-quḍiya baynahum bi-l-ḥaqqi wa-hum lā yuẓlamūna

3. ووفيت كل نفس ما عملت وهو أعلم بما يفعلون

   70

   Every soul will be recompensed fully for what it has done, and He is best aware of what they do.

   wa-wuffiyat kullu nafsin mā ʿamilat wa-huwa ʾaʿlamu bi-mā yafʿalūna

4. وسيق الذين كفروا إلى جهنم زمرا حتى إذا جاءوها فتحت أبوابها وقال لهم خزنتها ألم يأتكم رسل منكم يتلون عليكم آيات ربكم وينذرونكم لقاء يومكم هذا قالوا بلى ولكن حقت كلمة العذاب على الكافرين

   71

   The faithless will be driven to hell in throngs. When they reach it and its gates are opened, its keepers will say to them, ‘Did there not come to you [any] apostles from among yourselves, reciting to you the signs of your Lord and warning you of the encounter of this day of yours?’ They will say, ‘Yes, but the word of punishment became due against the faithless.’

   wa-sīqa lladhīna kafarū ʾilā jahannama zumaran ḥattā ʾidhā jāʾūhā futiḥat ʾabwābuhā wa-qāla lahum khazanatuhā ʾa-lam yaʾtikum rusulun minkum yatlūna ʿalaykum ʾāyāti rabbikum wa-yundhirūnakum liqāʾa yawmikum hādhā qālū balā wa-lākin ḥaqqat kalimatu l-ʿadhābi ʿalā l-kāfirīna

5. قيل ادخلوا أبواب جهنم خالدين فيها فبئس مثوى المتكبرين

   72

   It will be said, ‘Enter the gates of hell to remain in it [forever]. Evil is the [ultimate] abode of the arrogant.’

   qīla dkhulū ʾabwāba jahannama khālidīna fīhā fa-biʾsa mathwā l-mutakabbirīna

6. وسيق الذين اتقوا ربهم إلى الجنة زمرا حتى إذا جاءوها وفتحت أبوابها وقال لهم خزنتها سلام عليكم طبتم فادخلوها خالدين

   73

   Those who are wary of their Lord will be led to paradise in throngs. When they reach it and its gates are opened, its keepers will say to them, ‘Peace be to you! You are welcome! Enter it to remain [forever].’

   wa-sīqa lladhīna ttaqaw rabbahum ʾilā l-jannati zumaran ḥattā ʾidhā jāʾūhā wa-futiḥat ʾabwābuhā wa-qāla lahum khazanatuhā salāmun ʿalaykum ṭibtum fa-dkhulūhā khālidīna

7. وقالوا الحمد لله الذي صدقنا وعده وأورثنا الأرض نتبوأ من الجنة حيث نشاء فنعم أجر العاملين

   74

   They will say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, who has fulfilled His promise to us and made us inheritors of the earth, that we may settle in paradise wherever we may wish!’ How excellent is the reward of the workers [of righteousness]!

   wa-qālū l-ḥamdu li-llāhi lladhī ṣadaqanā waʿdahū wa-ʾawrathanā l-ʾarḍa natabawwaʾu mina l-jannati ḥaythu nashāʾu fa-niʿma ʾajru l-ʿāmilīna
