بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
1. (The time of) people’s judgment has drawn near, yet they are heedlessly turning away.
2. Whatever new reminder comes to them from their Lord, they only listen to it jokingly,
3. with their hearts (totally) distracted.
The evildoers would converse secretly, (saying,) “Is this (one) not human like yourselves?
Would you fall for (this) witchcraft, even though you can (clearly) see?
”
4. The Prophet responded, “My Lord (fully) knows every word spoken in the heavens and the earth.
For He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
”
5. Yet they say, “This (Quran) is a set of confused dreams!
No, he has fabricated it!
No, he must be a poet!
So let him bring us a (tangible) sign like those (prophets) sent before.
”
6. Not a (single) society We destroyed before them ever believed (after receiving the signs).
Will these (pagans) then believe?
ٱقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِى غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُونَ١
مَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِم مُّحْدَثٍ إِلَّا ٱسْتَمَعُوهُ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ٢
لَاهِيَةً قُلُوبُهُمْ ۗ وَأَسَرُّوا ٱلنَّجْوَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا هَلْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ ۖ أَفَتَأْتُونَ ٱلسِّحْرَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ٣
قَالَ رَبِّى يَعْلَمُ ٱلْقَوْلَ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ٤
بَلْ قَالُوٓا أَضْغَـٰثُ أَحْلَـٰمٍۭ بَلِ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِـَٔايَةٍ كَمَآ أُرْسِلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ٥
مَآ ءَامَنَتْ قَبْلَهُم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهَآ ۖ أَفَهُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ٦
