الـنازعات

1 WaalnnaziAAati gharqan

1 I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those who drag forth to destruction,

2 Waalnnashitati nashtan

2 And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,

2 By the meteors rushing,

3 Waalssabihati sabhan

3 And by those who float in space,

3 By the lone stars floating,

4 Faalssabiqati sabqan

4 Then those who are foremost going ahead,

4 By the angels hastening,

5 Faalmudabbirati amran

5 Then those who regulate the affair.

5 And those who govern the event,

6 Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu

6 The day on which the quaking one shall quake,

6 On the day when the first trump resoundeth.

7 TatbaAAuha alrradifatu

7 What must happen afterwards shall follow it.

7 And the second followeth it,

8 Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun

8 Hearts on that day shall palpitate,

8 On that day hearts beat painfully

9 Absaruha khashiAAatun

9 Their eyes cast down.

9 While eyes are downcast

10 Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati

10 They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?

10 (Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state

11 Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan

11 What! when we are rotten bones?

11 Even after we are crumbled bones ?

12 Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun

12 They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.

12 They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.

13 Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun

13 But it shall be only a single cry,

13 Surely it will need but one shout,

14 Faitha hum bialssahirati

14 When lo! they shall be wakeful.

14 And lo! they will be awakened.

15 Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

15 Has not there come to you the story of Musa?

15 Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ?

16 Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

16 When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,

16 How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,

17 Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

17 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.

17 (Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled -

18 Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

18 Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:

18 And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace) ?

19 Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

19 And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.

19 Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him).

20 Faarahu alayata alkubra

20 So he showed him the mighty sign.

20 And he showed him the tremendous token.

21 Fakaththaba waAAasa

21 But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.

21 But he denied and disobeyed,

22 Thumma adbara yasAAa

22 Then he went back hastily.

22 Then turned he away in haste,

23 Fahashara fanada

23 Then he gathered (men) and called out.

23 Then gathered he and summoned

24 Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla

24 Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.

24 And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest."

25 Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola

25 So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.

25 So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.

26 Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

26 Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.

26 Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.

27 Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

27 Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.

27 Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built ?

28 RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

28 He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.

28 He raised the height thereof and ordered it;

29 Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

29 And He made dark its night and brought out its light.

29 And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.

30 Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha

30 And the earth, He expanded it after that.

30 And after that He spread the earth,

31 Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

31 He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.

31 And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,

32 Waaljibala arsaha

32 And the mountains, He made them firm,

32 And He made fast the hills,

33 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

34 Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra

34 But when the great predominating calamity comes;

34 But when the great disaster cometh,

35 Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa

35 The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,

35 The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,

36 Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

36 And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees

36 And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,

37 Faamma man tagha

37 Then as for him who is inordinate,

37 Then, as for him who rebelled

38 Waathara alhayata alddunya

38 And prefers the life of this world,

38 And chose the life of the world,

39 Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa

39 Then surely the hell, that is the abode.

39 Lo! hell will be his home.

40 Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa

40 And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,

40 But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,

41 Fainna aljannata hiya almawa

41 Then surely the garden - - that is the abode.

41 Lo! the Garden will be his home.

42 Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

42 They ask you about the hour, when it will come.

42 They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port ?

43 Feema anta min thikraha

43 About what! You are one to remind of it.

43 Why (ask they) ? What hast thou to tell thereof ?

44 Ila rabbika muntahaha

44 To your Lord is the goal of it.

44 Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof.

45 Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

45 You are only a warner to him who would fear it.

45 Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.

46 Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha

46 On the day that they see it, it will be as though they had not tarried but the latter part of a day or the early part of it.

46 On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.
