Al Nazaat

1 WaalnnaziAAati gharqan

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

2 Waalnnashitati nashtan

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

3 Waalssabihati sabhan

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

4 Faalssabiqati sabqan

4 Then press forward as in a race,

5 Faalmudabbirati amran

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

6 Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu

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

7 TatbaAAuha alrradifatu

7 Followed by oft - repeated (commotions):

8 Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun

8 Hearts that Day will be in agitation;

9 Absaruha khashiAAatun

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

10 Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati

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

11 Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan

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

12 Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun

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

13 Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun

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

14 Faitha hum bialssahirati

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

15 Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

15 Has the story of Moses reached thee?

16 Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

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

17 Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

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

18 Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

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

19 Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

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

20 Faarahu alayata alkubra

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

21 Fakaththaba waAAasa

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

22 Thumma adbara yasAAa

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

23 Fahashara fanada

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

24 Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla

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

25 Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola

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

26 Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

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

27 Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

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

28 RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

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

29 Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

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

30 Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha

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

31 Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

31 He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;

32 Waaljibala arsaha

32 And the mountains hath He firmly fixed; -

33 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

33 For use and convenience to you and your cattle.

34 Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra

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

35 Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa

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

36 Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

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

37 Faamma man tagha

37 Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds,

38 Waathara alhayata alddunya

38 And had preferred the life of this world,

39 Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa

39 The Abode will be Hell - Fire;

40 Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa

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

41 Fainna aljannata hiya almawa

41 Their abode will be the Garden.

42 Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

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

43 Feema anta min thikraha

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

44 Ila rabbika muntahaha

44 With thy Lord in the Limit fixed therefor.

45 Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

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

46 Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha

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!
