يَٰمَعْشَرَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌۭ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَٰتِى وَيُنذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَآءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَٰذَا ۚ قَالُوا۟ شَهِدْنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِنَا ۖ وَغَرَّتْهُمُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَشَهِدُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ كَٰفِرِينَ
How to read it
Yāmaʻ'shara l-jinni wal-'insi 'alam' ya''tikum' russulun mminkum' yaquṣṣūna ʻalay'kum' 'āyātī wayundhirūnakum' liqā'a yaw'mikum' hādhā . qālū shahid'nā ʻalā 'anfussinā . wagharrat'humu l-ḥayātu ddun'yā washahidū ʻalā 'anfussihim' 'annahum' kānū kāfirīna
"O ye assembly of Jinns and men! came there not unto you messengers from amongst you, setting forth unto you My signs, and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived them. So against themselves will they bear witness that they rejected Faith.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
