اللَّهُ الَّذي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ وَما بَينَهُما في سِتَّةِ أَيّامٍ ثُمَّ استَوىٰ عَلَى العَرشِ ۖ ما لَكُم مِن دونِهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلا شَفيعٍ ۚ أَفَلا تَتَذَكَّرونَ

It is Allah who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne. You have not besides Him any protector or any intercessor; so will you not be reminded?

يُدَبِّرُ الأَمرَ مِنَ السَّماءِ إِلَى الأَرضِ ثُمَّ يَعرُجُ إِلَيهِ في يَومٍ كانَ مِقدارُهُ أَلفَ سَنَةٍ مِمّا تَعُدّونَ

He arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years of those which you count.

ذٰلِكَ عالِمُ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهادَةِ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ

That is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

الَّذي أَحسَنَ كُلَّ شَيءٍ خَلَقَهُ ۖ وَبَدَأَ خَلقَ الإِنسانِ مِن طينٍ

Who perfected everything which He created and began the creation of man from clay.

ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسلَهُ مِن سُلالَةٍ مِن ماءٍ مَهينٍ

Then He made his posterity out of the extract of a liquid disdained.

وَقالوا أَإِذا ضَلَلنا فِي الأَرضِ أَإِنّا لَفي خَلقٍ جَديدٍ ۚ بَل هُم بِلِقاءِ رَبِّهِم كافِرونَ

And they say, "When we are lost within the earth, will we indeed be [recreated] in a new creation?" Rather, they are, in [the matter of] the meeting with their Lord, disbelievers.

قُل يَتَوَفّاكُم مَلَكُ المَوتِ الَّذي وُكِّلَ بِكُم ثُمَّ إِلىٰ رَبِّكُم تُرجَعونَ

Say, "The angel of death will take you who has been entrusted with you. Then to your Lord you will be returned."

وَلَو تَرىٰ إِذِ المُجرِمونَ ناكِسو رُءوسِهِم عِندَ رَبِّهِم رَبَّنا أَبصَرنا وَسَمِعنا فَارجِعنا نَعمَل صالِحًا إِنّا موقِنونَ

If you could but see when the criminals are hanging their heads before their Lord, [saying], "Our Lord, we have seen and heard, so return us [to the world]; we will work righteousness. Indeed, we are [now] certain."

وَلَو شِئنا لَآتَينا كُلَّ نَفسٍ هُداها وَلـٰكِن حَقَّ القَولُ مِنّي لَأَملَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الجِنَّةِ وَالنّاسِ أَجمَعينَ

And if We had willed, We could have given every soul its guidance, but the word from Me will come into effect [that] "I will surely fill Hell with jinn and people all together.

فَذوقوا بِما نَسيتُم لِقاءَ يَومِكُم هـٰذا إِنّا نَسيناكُم ۖ وَذوقوا عَذابَ الخُلدِ بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

So taste [punishment] because you forgot the meeting of this, your Day; indeed, We have [accordingly] forgotten you. And taste the punishment of eternity for what you used to do."
