إِنَّها لَإِحدَى الكُبَرِ
Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]
نَذيرًا لِلبَشَرِ
As a warning to humanity -
لِمَن شاءَ مِنكُم أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَو يَتَأَخَّرَ
To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.
كُلُّ نَفسٍ بِما كَسَبَت رَهينَةٌ
Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained
إِلّا أَصحابَ اليَمينِ
Except the companions of the right,
عَنِ المُجرِمينَ
About the criminals,
ما سَلَكَكُم في سَقَرَ
[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"
قالوا لَم نَكُ مِنَ المُصَلّينَ
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
وَلَم نَكُ نُطعِمُ المِسكينَ
Nor did we used to feed the poor.
وَكُنّا نَخوضُ مَعَ الخائِضينَ
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
