فَمَنِ ابتَغىٰ وَراءَ ذٰلِكَ فَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ العادونَ

But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors -

وَالَّذينَ هُم لِأَماناتِهِم وَعَهدِهِم راعونَ

And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive

وَالَّذينَ هُم بِشَهاداتِهِم قائِمونَ

And those who are in their testimonies upright

وَالَّذينَ هُم عَلىٰ صَلاتِهِم يُحافِظونَ

And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:

أُولـٰئِكَ في جَنّاتٍ مُكرَمونَ

They will be in gardens, honored.

عَنِ اليَمينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمالِ عِزينَ

[To sit] on [your] right and [your] left in separate groups?

أَيَطمَعُ كُلُّ امرِئٍ مِنهُم أَن يُدخَلَ جَنَّةَ نَعيمٍ

Does every person among them aspire to enter a garden of pleasure?

كَلّا ۖ إِنّا خَلَقناهُم مِمّا يَعلَمونَ

No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.

فَلا أُقسِمُ بِرَبِّ المَشارِقِ وَالمَغارِبِ إِنّا لَقادِرونَ

So I swear by the Lord of [all] risings and settings that indeed We are able

عَلىٰ أَن نُبَدِّلَ خَيرًا مِنهُم وَما نَحنُ بِمَسبوقينَ

To replace them with better than them; and We are not to be outdone.
