الـنازعات

1 By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;

1 WaalnnaziAAati gharqan

1 By those [angels] who extract with violence

2 By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed);

2 Waalnnashitati nashtan

2 And [by] those who remove with ease

3 And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy),

3 Waalssabihati sabhan

3 And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming

4 Then press forward as in a race,

4 Faalssabiqati sabqan

4 And those who race each other in a race

5 Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord),

5 Faalmudabbirati amran

5 And those who arrange [each] matter,

6 One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,

6 Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu

6 On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

7 Followed by oft - repeated (commotions):

7 TatbaAAuha alrradifatu

7 There will follow it the subsequent [one].

8 Hearts that Day will be in agitation;

8 Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun

8 Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

9 Cast down will be (their owners') eyes.

9 Absaruha khashiAAatun

9 Their eyes humbled.

10 They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state?

10 Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati

10 They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

11 "What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?"

11 Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan

11 Even if we should be decayed bones?

12 They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!"

12 Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun

12 They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

13 But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry,

13 Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun

13 Indeed, it will be but one shout,

14 When, behold, they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment).

14 Faitha hum bialssahirati

14 And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

15 Has the story of Moses reached thee?

15 Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

15 Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

16 Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa: -

16 Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

16 When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,

17 "Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds:

17 Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

17 "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

18 "And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)? -

18 Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

18 And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

19 "'And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'"

19 Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

19 And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"

20 Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign.

20 Faarahu alayata alkubra

20 And he showed him the greatest sign,

21 But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance);

21 Fakaththaba waAAasa

21 But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

22 Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).

22 Thumma adbara yasAAa

22 Then he turned his back, striving.

23 Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation,

23 Fahashara fanada

23 And he gathered [his people] and called out

24 Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".

24 Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla

24 And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

25 But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.

25 Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola

25 So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].

26 Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah).

26 Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

26 Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].

27 What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it:

27 Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

27 Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.

28 On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection.

28 RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

28 He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

29 Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light).

29 Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

29 And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

30 And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);

30 Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha

30 And after that He spread the earth.

31 He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;

31 Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

31 He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

32 And the mountains hath He firmly fixed; -

32 Waaljibala arsaha

32 And the mountains He set firmly

33 For use and convenience to you and your cattle.

33 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

33 As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

34 Therefore, when there comes the great, overwhelming (Event), -

34 Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra

34 But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

35 The Day when man shall remember (all) that he strove for,

35 Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa

35 The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

36 And Hell - Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see, -

36 Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

36 And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

37 Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds,

37 Faamma man tagha

37 So as for he who transgressed

38 And had preferred the life of this world,

38 Waathara alhayata alddunya

38 And preferred the life of the world,

39 The Abode will be Hell - Fire;

39 Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa

39 Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

40 And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires,

40 Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa

40 But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

41 Their abode will be the Garden.

41 Fainna aljannata hiya almawa

41 Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

42 They ask thee about the Hour, - 'When will be its appointed time?

42 Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

42 They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?

43 Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof?

43 Feema anta min thikraha

43 In what [position] are you that you should mention it?

44 With thy Lord in the Limit fixed therefor.

44 Ila rabbika muntahaha

44 To your Lord is its finality.

45 Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it.

45 Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

45 You are only a warner for those who fear it.

46 The Day they see it, (It will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening, or (at most till) the following morn!

46 Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha

46 It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
