Chapter 79, 46 verses
I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
WaalnnaziAAati gharqan
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والنازعات غرقا
And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
Waalnnashitati nashtan
وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا
والناشطات نشطا
And by those who float in space,
Waalssabihati sabhan
وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا
والسابحات سبحا
Then those who are foremost going ahead,
Faalssabiqati sabqan
فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا
فالسابقات سبقا
Then those who regulate the affair.
Faalmudabbirati amran
فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا
فالمدبرات أمرا
The day on which the quaking one shall quake,
Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ
يوم ترجف الراجفة
What must happen afterwards shall follow it.
TatbaAAuha alrradifatu
تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ
تتبعها الرادفة
Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
قلوب يومئذ واجفة
Their eyes cast down.
Absaruha khashiAAatun
أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ
أبصارها خاشعة
They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?
Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati
يَقُولُونَ أَإِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ
يقولون أإنا لمردودون في الحافرة
What! when we are rotten bones?
Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan
أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً
أإذا كنا عظاما نخرة
They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.
Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun
قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
قالوا تلك إذا كرة خاسرة
But it shall be only a single cry,
Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ
فإنما هي زجرة واحدة
When lo! they shall be wakeful.
Faitha hum bialssahirati
فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ
فإذا هم بالساهرة
Has not there come to you the story of Musa?
Hal ataka hadeethu moosa
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰ
هل أتاك حديث موسى
When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,
Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan
إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
إذ ناداه ربه بالواد المقدس طوى
Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.
Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha
اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ
اذهب إلى فرعون إنه طغى
Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:
Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
فقل هل لك إلى أن تزكى
And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.
Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
وأهديك إلى ربك فتخشى
So he showed him the mighty sign.
Faarahu alayata alkubra
فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
فأراه الآية الكبرى
But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.
Fakaththaba waAAasa
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
فكذب وعصى
Then he went back hastily.
Thumma adbara yasAAa
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
ثم أدبر يسعى
Then he gathered (men) and called out.
Fahashara fanada
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
فحشر فنادى
Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.
Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla
فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ
فقال أنا ربكم الأعلى
So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.
Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola
فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰ
فأخذه الله نكال الآخرة والأولى
Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.
Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ
إن في ذلك لعبرة لمن يخشى
Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.
Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha
أَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ ۚ بَنَاهَا
أأنتم أشد خلقا أم السماء ۚ بناها
He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.
RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا
رفع سمكها فسواها
And He made dark its night and brought out its light.
Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا
وأغطش ليلها وأخرج ضحاها
And the earth, He expanded it after that.
Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha
وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَاهَا
والأرض بعد ذلك دحاها
He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.
Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا
أخرج منها ماءها ومرعاها
And the mountains, He made them firm,
Waaljibala arsaha
وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا
والجبال أرساها
A provision for you and for your cattle.
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
متاعا لكم ولأنعامكم
But when the great predominating calamity comes;
Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَىٰ
فإذا جاءت الطامة الكبرى
The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,
Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَىٰ
يوم يتذكر الإنسان ما سعى
And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees
Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara
وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
وبرزت الجحيم لمن يرى
Then as for him who is inordinate,
Faamma man tagha
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
فأما من طغى
And prefers the life of this world,
Waathara alhayata alddunya
وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
وآثر الحياة الدنيا
Then surely the hell, that is the abode.
Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa
فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ
فإن الجحيم هي المأوى
And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,
Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ
وأما من خاف مقام ربه ونهى النفس عن الهوى
Then surely the garden - - that is the abode.
Fainna aljannata hiya almawa
فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ
فإن الجنة هي المأوى
They ask you about the hour, when it will come.
Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha
يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا
يسألونك عن الساعة أيان مرساها
About what! You are one to remind of it.
Feema anta min thikraha
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا
فيم أنت من ذكراها
To your Lord is the goal of it.
Ila rabbika muntahaha
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا
إلى ربك منتهاها
You are only a warner to him who would fear it.
Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha
إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا
إنما أنت منذر من يخشاها
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.
Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا
كأنهم يوم يرونها لم يلبثوا إلا عشية أو ضحاها
