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