وَالجِبالَ أَرساها

And the mountains He set firmly

مَتاعًا لَكُم وَلِأَنعامِكُم

As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

فَإِذا جاءَتِ الطّامَّةُ الكُبرىٰ

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

يَومَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الإِنسانُ ما سَعىٰ

The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

وَبُرِّزَتِ الجَحيمُ لِمَن يَرىٰ

And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

وَآثَرَ الحَياةَ الدُّنيا

And preferred the life of the world,

فَإِنَّ الجَحيمَ هِيَ المَأوىٰ

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

وَأَمّا مَن خافَ مَقامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفسَ عَنِ الهَوىٰ

But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

فَإِنَّ الجَنَّةَ هِيَ المَأوىٰ

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

يَسأَلونَكَ عَنِ السّاعَةِ أَيّانَ مُرساها

They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
