وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتُمُ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ فَلَوۡلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ٦٢

And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?

56:63Page 536

أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا تَحۡرُثُونَ ٦٣

And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?

56:64–67Page 536

ءَأَنتُمۡ تَزۡرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ ٦٤

Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?

لَوۡ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ حُطَٰمٗا فَظَلۡتُمۡ تَفَكَّهُونَ ٦٥

If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,¹

إِنَّا لَمُغۡرَمُونَ ٦٦

[Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;

بَلۡ نَحۡنُ مَحۡرُومُونَ ٦٧

Rather, we have been deprived."

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنزَلۡتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُزۡنِ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنزِلُونَ ٦٩

Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?

56:70Page 536

لَوۡ نَشَآءُ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ أُجَاجٗا فَلَوۡلَا تَشۡكُرُونَ ٧٠

If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?

56:71–72Page 536

أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِي تُورُونَ ٧١

And have you seen the fire that you ignite?

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَنشَأۡتُمۡ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمۡ نَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُنشِـُٔونَ ٧٢

Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?

56:73Page 536

نَحۡنُ جَعَلۡنَٰهَا تَذۡكِرَةٗ وَمَتَٰعٗا لِّلۡمُقۡوِينَ ٧٣

We have made it a reminder¹ and provision for the travelers,²

56:74Page 536

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٧٤

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

56:75–76Page 536

۞ فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ ٧٥

Then I swear by the setting of the stars,¹

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٞ لَّوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ ٧٦

And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.

56:77–79Page 537

إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرۡءَانٞ كَرِيمٞ ٧٧

Indeed, it is a noble Qur’ān.

فِي كِتَٰبٖ مَّكۡنُونٖ ٧٨

In a Register well-protected;¹.

لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُطَهَّرُونَ ٧٩

None touch it except the purified [i.e., the angels].

56:80Page 537

تَنزِيلٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٨٠

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

56:81Page 537

أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدۡهِنُونَ ٨١

Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent

56:82Page 537

وَتَجۡعَلُونَ رِزۡقَكُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ تُكَذِّبُونَ ٨٢

And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?

56:83–85Page 537

فَلَوۡلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلۡحُلۡقُومَ ٨٣

Then why, when it [i.e., the soul at death] reaches the throat

وَأَنتُمۡ حِينَئِذٖ تَنظُرُونَ ٨٤

And you are at that time looking on -

وَنَحۡنُ أَقۡرَبُ إِلَيۡهِ مِنكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبۡصِرُونَ ٨٥

And We [i.e., Our angels] are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -

56:86–87Page 537

فَلَوۡلَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَدِينِينَ ٨٦

Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,

تَرۡجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٨٧

Bring it back,¹ if you should be truthful?

56:88–89Page 537

فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ ٨٨

And if he [i.e., the deceased] was of those brought near [to Allāh],

فَرَوۡحٞ وَرَيۡحَانٞ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٖ ٨٩

Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.

وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ ٩٠

And if he was of the companions of the right,
