Hal ataka hadeethu moosa
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
Has there reached you the story of Moses? -
هل أتاك حديث موسى

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,
إذ ناداه ربه بالواد المقدس طوى
Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
اذهب إلى فرعون إنه طغى
Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

And he showed him the greatest sign,
فأراه الآية الكبرى

Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ
So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].
فأخذه الله نكال الآخرة والأولى
Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ
Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].
إن في ذلك لعبرة لمن يخشى

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بَنَىٰهَا
Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.
أأنتم أشد خلقا أم السماء ۚ بناها

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا
He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.
وأغطش ليلها وأخرج ضحاها

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ
And after that He spread the earth.
والأرض بعد ذلك دحاها
Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا
He extracted from it its water and its pasture,
أخرج منها ماءها ومرعاها
Waaljibala arsaha
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا
And the mountains He set firmly
والجبال أرساها
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
مَتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
As provision for you and your grazing livestock.
متاعا لكم ولأنعامكم
Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -
فإذا جاءت الطامة الكبرى
Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ
The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,
يوم يتذكر الإنسان ما سعى
Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -
وبرزت الجحيم لمن يرى
Faamma man tagha
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
So as for he who transgressed
فأما من طغى
Waathara alhayata alddunya
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
And preferred the life of the world,
وآثر الحياة الدنيا
Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.
فإن الجحيم هي المأوى
Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ
But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,
وأما من خاف مقام ربه ونهى النفس عن الهوى
Fainna aljannata hiya almawa
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.
فإن الجنة هي المأوى
Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
يسألونك عن الساعة أيان مرساها
Feema anta min thikraha
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ
In what [position] are you that you should mention it?
فيم أنت من ذكراها
Ila rabbika muntahaha
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ
To your Lord is its finality.
إلى ربك منتهاها
Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا
You are only a warner for those who fear it.
إنما أنت منذر من يخشاها
Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا
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.
كأنهم يوم يرونها لم يلبثوا إلا عشية أو ضحاها
