هَذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ الَّذِي كُنتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ
[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."
Surat ini menegaskan keesaan dan kekuasaan mutlak Allah melalui sumpah para malaikat serta penciptaan alam semesta. Pesan intinya memperingatkan manusia agar tidak meniru kesombongan kaum musyrik yang mengingkari kebenaran dan hari kebangkitan.
هَذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ الَّذِي كُنتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ
[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."
احْشُرُوا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَأَزْوَاجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ
[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship
مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ فَاهْدُوهُمْ إِلَى صِرَاطِ الْجَحِيمِ
Other than Allah , and guide them to the path of Hellfire
وَقِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُم مَّسْئُولُونَ
And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ
[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءلُونَ
And they will approach one another blaming each other.
قَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ الْيَمِينِ
They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."
قَالُوا بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ
The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَانٍ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا طَاغِينَ
And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.
فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَا إِنَّا لَذَائِقُونَ
So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].
فَأَغْوَيْنَاكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَاوِينَ
And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."
فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي الْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ
So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.
إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ
Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ
Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah ," were arrogant
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوا آلِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونٍ
And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"
بَلْ جَاء بِالْحَقِّ وَصَدَّقَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.
إِنَّكُمْ لَذَائِقُو الْعَذَابِ الْأَلِيمِ
Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,
وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -
