Surah Fuşşilat (Explained in Detail) in English

1. وقالوا لجلودهم لم شهدتم علينا قالوا أنطقنا الله الذي أنطق كل شيء وهو خلقكم أول مرة وإليه ترجعون

   21

   They will say to their skins, ‘Why did you bear witness against us?’ They will say, ‘We were given speech by Allah, who gave speech to all things. He created you the first time, and you are being brought back to Him.

   wa-qālū li-julūdihim li-ma shahidtum ʿalaynā qālū ʾanṭaqanā llāhu lladhī ʾanṭaqa kulla shayʾin wa-huwa khalaqakum ʾawwala marratin wa-ʾilayhi turjaʿūna

2. وما كنتم تستترون أن يشهد عليكم سمعكم ولا أبصاركم ولا جلودكم ولكن ظننتم أن الله لا يعلم كثيرا مما تعملون

   22

   You did not use to conceal yourselves [while perpetrating sinful acts] lest your hearing, your eyes, or your skins should bear witness against you, but you thought that Allah did not know most of what you did.

   wa-mā kuntum tastatirūna ʾan yashhada ʿalaykum samʿukum wa-lā ʾabṣārukum wa-lā julūdukum wa-lākin ẓanantum ʾanna llāha lā yaʿlamu kathīran mimmā taʿmalūna

3. وذلكم ظنكم الذي ظننتم بربكم أرداكم فأصبحتم من الخاسرين

   23

   That misjudgement, which you entertained about your Lord ruined you. So you became losers.’

   wa-dhālikum ẓannukumu lladhī ẓanantum bi-rabbikum ʾardākum fa-ʾaṣbaḥtum mina l-khāsirīna

4. فإن يصبروا فالنار مثوى لهم وإن يستعتبوا فما هم من المعتبين

   24

   Should they be patient, the Fire is their abode; and should they seek to propitiate [Allah], they will not be redeemed.

   fa-ʾin yaṣbirū fa-n-nāru mathwan lahum wa-ʾin yastaʿtibū fa-mā hum mina l-muʿtabīna

5. وقيضنا لهم قرناء فزينوا لهم ما بين أيديهم وما خلفهم وحق عليهم القول في أمم قد خلت من قبلهم من الجن والإنس إنهم كانوا خاسرين

   25

   We have assigned them companions who make their present [conduct] and future [state] seem decorous to them, and the word became due against them along with the nations of jinn and humans that passed away before them. They were indeed losers.

   wa-qayyaḍnā lahum quranāʾa fa-zayyanū lahum mā bayna ʾaydīhim wa-mā khalfahum wa-ḥaqqa ʿalayhimu l-qawlu fī ʾumamin qad khalat min qablihim mina l-jinni wa-l-ʾinsi ʾinnahum kānū khāsirīna

6. وقال الذين كفروا لا تسمعوا لهذا القرآن والغوا فيه لعلكم تغلبون

   26

   The faithless say, ‘Do not listen to this Quran and hoot it down so that you may prevail [over the Apostle].’

   wa-qāla lladhīna kafarū lā tasmaʿū li-hādhā l-qurʾāni wa-lghaw fīhi laʿallakum taghlibūna

7. فلنذيقن الذين كفروا عذابا شديدا ولنجزينهم أسوأ الذي كانوا يعملون

   27

   We will surely make the faithless taste a severe punishment, and We will surely requite them by the worst of what they used to do.

   fa-la-nudhīqanna lladhīna kafarū ʿadhāban shadīdan wa-la-najziyannahum ʾaswaʾa lladhī kānū yaʿmalūna

8. ذلك جزاء أعداء الله النار لهم فيها دار الخلد جزاء بما كانوا بآياتنا يجحدون

   28

   That is the requital of the enemies of Allah—the Fire! In it, they will have an everlasting abode, as a requital for their impugning Our signs.

   dhālika jazāʾu ʾaʿdāʾi llāhi n-nāru lahum fīhā dāru l-khuldi jazāʾan bi-mā kānū bi-ʾāyātinā yajḥadūna

9. وقال الذين كفروا ربنا أرنا اللذين أضلانا من الجن والإنس نجعلهما تحت أقدامنا ليكونا من الأسفلين

   29

   The faithless will say, ‘Our Lord! Show us those who led us astray from among jinn and humans so that we may trample them under our feet, so that they may be among the lowermost!’

   wa-qāla lladhīna kafarū rabbanā ʾarinā lladhayni ʾaḍallānā mina l-jinni wa-l-ʾinsi najʿalhumā taḥta ʾaqdāminā li-yakūnā mina l-ʾasfalīna
