عَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ ( 1 )

About what are they asking one another?

عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ ( 2 )

About the great news -

الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ ( 3 )

That over which they are in disagreement.

كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ( 4 )

No! They are going to know.

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ( 5 )

Then, no! They are going to know.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ مِهَادًا ( 6 )

Have We not made the earth a resting place?

وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا ( 7 )

And the mountains as stakes?

وَخَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ( 8 )

And We created you in pairs

وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا ( 9 )

And made your sleep [a means for] rest

وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا ( 10 )

And made the night as clothing

وَجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا ( 11 )

And made the day for livelihood

وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا ( 12 )

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا ( 13 )

And made [therein] a burning lamp

وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعْصِرَاتِ مَاءً ثَجَّاجًا ( 14 )

And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water

لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا ( 15 )

That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation

وَجَنَّاتٍ أَلْفَافًا ( 16 )

And gardens of entwined growth.

إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَاتًا ( 17 )

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is an appointed time -

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا ( 18 )

The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes

وَفُتِحَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَابًا ( 19 )

And the heaven is opened and will become gateways

وَسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا ( 20 )

And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.

إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا ( 21 )

Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

لِّلطَّاغِينَ مَآبًا ( 22 )

For the transgressors, a place of return,

لَّابِثِينَ فِيهَا أَحْقَابًا ( 23 )

In which they will remain for ages [unending].

لَّا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا ( 24 )

They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا ( 25 )

Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -

جَزَاءً وِفَاقًا ( 26 )

An appropriate recompense.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا ( 27 )

Indeed, they were not expecting an account

وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كِذَّابًا ( 28 )

And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ كِتَابًا ( 29 )

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

فَذُوقُوا فَلَن نَّزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا ( 30 )

"So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."

إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا ( 31 )

Indeed, for the righteous is attainment -

حَدَائِقَ وَأَعْنَابًا ( 32 )

Gardens and grapevines

وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا ( 33 )

And full-breasted [companions] of equal age

وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا ( 34 )

And a full cup.

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّابًا ( 35 )

No ill speech will they hear therein or any falsehood -

جَزَاءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَاءً حِسَابًا ( 36 )

[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,

رَّبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الرَّحْمَٰنِ ۖ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا ( 37 )

[From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.

يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا ( 38 )

The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will say what is correct.

ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ مَآبًا ( 39 )

That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.

إِنَّا أَنذَرْنَاكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ الْكَافِرُ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنتُ تُرَابًا ( 40 )

Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the disbeliever will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"

The Etiquette of Seeking KnowledgeThe Etiquette of Seeking Knowledge ... to adorn oneself with beautiful etiquette, noble manners, good behaviour, and pious conduct are distinguishing characteristics of the people of Islam, and knowledge - the most precious pearl in the crown of the purified Shariah - cannot be attained except by those who adorn themselves with its etiquette and those who leave evil qualities associated to it. For this reason the scholars devoted their attention to this etiquette, outlined its importance and wrote books solely on this topic; either pertaining to (general conduct] with all types of knowledge or to specific types of knowledge such as the etiquette of the carriers of the Noble Quran, the etiquette of the muhaddith, the etiquette of the mufti, the etiquette of the qazi (judge), the etiquette of the muhtasib (the one who enjoins good and forbids evil for the sake of Allah) and so on. The issue of this book is the general conduct of those who take the path of seeking the knowledge of the Sharee'ah.
