The Heights

الٓمٓصٓ١

Alif, Lām, Meem, Ṣād.

كِتَٰبٌأُنزِلَإِلَيۡكَفَلَايَكُنفِيصَدۡرِكَحَرَجٞمِّنۡهُلِتُنذِرَبِهِۦوَذِكۡرَىٰلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ٢

[This is] a Book revealed to you, [O Muḥammad] - so let there not be in your breast distress therefrom - that you may warn thereby and as a reminder to the believers.

ٱتَّبِعُواْمَآأُنزِلَإِلَيۡكُممِّنرَّبِّكُمۡوَلَاتَتَّبِعُواْمِندُونِهِۦٓأَوۡلِيَآءَۗقَلِيلٗامَّاتَذَكَّرُونَ٣

Follow, [O mankind], what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember.

وَكَممِّنقَرۡيَةٍأَهۡلَكۡنَٰهَافَجَآءَهَابَأۡسُنَابَيَٰتًاأَوۡهُمۡقَآئِلُونَ٤

And how many cities have We destroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleeping at noon.

فَمَاكَانَدَعۡوَىٰهُمۡإِذۡجَآءَهُمبَأۡسُنَآإِلَّآأَنقَالُوٓاْإِنَّاكُنَّاظَٰلِمِينَ٥

And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was only that they said, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers!"

فَلَنَسۡـَٔلَنَّٱلَّذِينَأُرۡسِلَإِلَيۡهِمۡوَلَنَسۡـَٔلَنَّٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ٦

Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers.

فَلَنَقُصَّنَّعَلَيۡهِمبِعِلۡمٖۖوَمَاكُنَّاغَآئِبِينَ٧

Then We will surely relate [their deeds] to them with knowledge, and We were not [at all] absent.

وَٱلۡوَزۡنُيَوۡمَئِذٍٱلۡحَقُّۚفَمَنثَقُلَتۡمَوَٰزِينُهُۥفَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَهُمُٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ٨

And the weighing [of deeds] that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy - it is they who will be the successful.

وَمَنۡخَفَّتۡمَوَٰزِينُهُۥفَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَٱلَّذِينَخَسِرُوٓاْأَنفُسَهُمبِمَاكَانُواْبِـَٔايَٰتِنَايَظۡلِمُونَ٩

And those whose scales are light - they are the ones who will lose themselves for what injustice they were doing toward Our verses.

وَلَقَدۡمَكَّنَّٰكُمۡفِيٱلۡأَرۡضِوَجَعَلۡنَالَكُمۡفِيهَامَعَٰيِشَۗقَلِيلٗامَّاتَشۡكُرُونَ١٠

And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful.
