Al-Asr
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَالْعَصْرِ1
By the declining day
إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ2
man is [deep] in loss
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ3
except for those who believe, do good deeds, urge one another to the truth, and urge one another to steadfastness
Al-Humaza
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَيْلٌ لِكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُمَزَةٍ1
Woe to every fault-finding backbiter
الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ2
who amasses riches, counting them over
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ3
thinking they will make him live for ever
كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنْبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ4
No indeed! He will be thrust into the Crusher
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ5
What will explain to you what the Crusher is
نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ6
It is God’s Fire, made to blaze
الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ7
which rises over people’s hearts
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِمْ مُؤْصَدَةٌ8
It closes in on them
فِي عَمَدٍ مُمَدَّدَةٍ9
in towering columns
Al-Fil
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ1
Do you [Prophet] not see how your Lord dealt with the army of the elephant
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ2
Did He not utterly confound their plans
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ3
He sent ranks of birds against them
تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ4
pelting them with pellets of hard-baked clay
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ5
He made them [like] cropped stubble
