إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى﴿16﴾

When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwā,

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ﴿17﴾

"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

So Allāh seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].1.

Translation: Sahih International

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ﴿26﴾

Indeed in that is a lesson [i.e., warning] for whoever would fear [Allāh].

Translation: Sahih International

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا﴿27﴾

Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? He [i.e., Allāh] constructed it.

مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ﴿33﴾

As enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ﴿34﴾

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity1 -

Translation: Sahih International

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ﴿35﴾

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

Translation: Sahih International

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ﴿36﴾

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

Translation: Sahih International

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ﴿37﴾

So as for he who transgressed

Translation: Sahih International

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا﴿38﴾

And preferred the life of the world,

Translation: Sahih International

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ﴿39﴾

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

Translation: Sahih International

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ﴿41﴾

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

Translation: Sahih International

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا﴿42﴾

They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?1

Translation: Sahih International

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ﴿43﴾

In what [position] are you that you should mention it?1

Translation: Sahih International

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ﴿44﴾

To your Lord is its finality.1

Translation: Sahih International

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا﴿45﴾

You are only a warner for those who fear it.

Translation: Sahih International

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا﴿46﴾

It will be, on the Day they see it,1 as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
