How to use the transliteration
Both transliterations on this page are reading aids, not pronunciation systems. If you read Arabic, ignore them and read the line above. They follow two different conventions, because they come from two different sources.
The word-by-word cards use long vowels ā ī ū and diacritics to distinguish Arabic consonants: for example, ḥ represents ح and ṣ represents ص. In the Corpus convention, an apostrophe can represent hamzah or mark sukūn (no following vowel); ʿ represents ʿayn. Thus the apostrophe in ud'khulū does not indicate a hamzah. See the Corpus transcription guide.
The full-ayah transliteration is quoted from its source, which doubles the vowel letter instead of using a macron and does not mark the heavy letters. The card’s yaṭmaʿūna reads yatma'oon there, and afīḍū reads afeedoo. We keep the source’s spelling rather than re-spell a quoted text, with four exceptions. That edition has four slips in this passage: zaalimneen at ayah 47, with a stray n; A'raffi at ayah 48, with the f doubled and the long aa lost; and at ayah 51 nnannsaahum, with the n written five times, and la'i-banw, with a hyphen inside the word. We print zaalimeen, A'raafi, nansaahum and la'ibanw. Each follows the edition’s own spelling elsewhere: it writes 'alaz zaalimeen at 7:44, 'alal A'raafi at 7:46, nansaakum at 45:34 and la'ibanwwa at 6:70. Those four corrections are ours, not the source’s, and a reader who knows Arabic still needs to check them. Everything else in these lines is left exactly as the edition has it, including spellings that look odd.
Use either aid alongside the recitation. Listen to the reciter for pronunciation; transliteration cannot capture every recitation detail.

And the companions of Paradise will call out to the companions of the Fire, "We have already found what our Lord promised us to be true. Have you found what your Lord promised to be true?" They will say, "Yes." Then an announcer will announce among them, "The curse of Allah shall be upon the wrongdoers."
