أَوَآباؤُنَا الأَوَّلونَ

And our forefathers [as well]?"

قُل إِنَّ الأَوَّلينَ وَالآخِرينَ

Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, the former and the later peoples

لَمَجموعونَ إِلىٰ ميقاتِ يَومٍ مَعلومٍ

Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم أَيُّهَا الضّالّونَ المُكَذِّبونَ

Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,

لَآكِلونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِن زَقّومٍ

Will be eating from trees of zaqqum

فَشارِبونَ عَلَيهِ مِنَ الحَميمِ

And drinking on top of it from scalding water

فَشارِبونَ شُربَ الهيمِ

And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.

هـٰذا نُزُلُهُم يَومَ الدّينِ

That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.

نَحنُ خَلَقناكُم فَلَولا تُصَدِّقونَ

We have created you, so why do you not believe?

أَفَرَأَيتُم ما تُمنونَ

Have you seen that which you emit?
