Al Nazaat

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By those (angels) who pull out (the souls of the disbelievers and the wicked) with great violence.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

2 By those (angels) who gently take out (the souls of the believers).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

3 And by those that swim along (i.e. angels or planets in their orbits).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

4 And by those that press forward as in a race (i.e. the angels or stars or the horses).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

5 And by those angels who arrange to do the Commands of their Lord, (so verily, you disbelievers will be called to account).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

6 On the Day (when the first blowing of the Trumpet is blown), the earth and the mountains will shake violently (and everybody will die).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

7 The second blowing of the Trumpet follows it (and everybody will be resurrected).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

8 (Some) hearts that Day will shake with fear and anxiety.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

9 Their eyes will be downcast.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

10 They say: "Shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state of life?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

11 "Even after we are crumbled bones?"

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

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

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

13 But it will be only a single Zajrah [shout (i.e., the second blowing of the Trumpet)], (See Verse 37:19).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

14 When behold, they find themselves on the surface of the earth alive after their death,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

15 Has there come to you the story of Musa (Moses)?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

16 When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

17 Go to Fir'aun (Pharaoh); verily he has transgressed all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism, disbelief).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

18 And say to him: "Would you purify yourself (from the sin of disbelief by becoming a believer)?"

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

19 "And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him?"

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

20 Then [Musa (Moses)] showed him the great sign (miracles).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

21 But [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] belied and disobeyed.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

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

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

23 Then he gathered (his people) and cried aloud,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

24 Saying: "I am your lord, most high."

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

25 So Allah, seized him with punishment for his last and first transgression. [Tafsir At-Tabari]

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

26 Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allah.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

27 Are you more difficult to create or is the heaven that He constructed?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

28 He raised its height, and has perfected it.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

29 Its night He covers with darkness and its forenoon He brings out (with light)

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

30 And after that He spread the earth,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

31 And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

32 And the mountains He has fixed firmly,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

33 (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

34 But when there comes the greatest catastrophe (i.e. the Day of Recompense) -

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

35 The Day when man shall remember what he strove for.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

36 And Hell-fire shall be made apparent in full view for (every) one who sees.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

37 Then for him who transgressed all bounds, (in disbelief, oppression and evil deeds of disobedience to Allah).

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

38 And preferred the life of this world (by following his evil desires and lusts),

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

39 Verily, his abode will be Hell-fire;

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

40 But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil desires and lusts.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

41 Verily, Paradise will be his abode.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

42 They ask you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) about the Hour - when will be its appointed time?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

43 You have no knowledge to say anything about it.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

44 To your Lord belongs (the knowledge of) the term thereof?

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

45 You (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are only a warner for those who fear it,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

46 The Day they see it, (it will be) as if they had not tarried (in this world) except an afternoon or a morning.
