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