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.

فَمالِ الَّذينَ كَفَروا قِبَلَكَ مُهطِعينَ

So what is [the matter] with those who disbelieve, hastening [from] before you, [O Muhammad],

عَنِ اليَمينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمالِ عِزينَ

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

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.

فَذَرهُم يَخوضوا وَيَلعَبوا حَتّىٰ يُلاقوا يَومَهُمُ الَّذي يوعَدونَ

So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised -

يَومَ يَخرُجونَ مِنَ الأَجداثِ سِراعًا كَأَنَّهُم إِلىٰ نُصُبٍ يوفِضونَ

The Day they will emerge from the graves rapidly as if they were, toward an erected idol, hastening.
