Al Nazaat

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.

1 WaalnnaziAAati gharqan

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

2 Waalnnashitati nashtan

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

3 Waalssabihati sabhan

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

4 Faalssabiqati sabqan

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

5 Faalmudabbirati amran

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).

6 Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu

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

7 TatbaAAuha alrradifatu

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

8 Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun

9 Their eyes will be downcast.

9 Absaruha khashiAAatun

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

10 Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati

11 "Even after we are crumbled bones?"

11 Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan

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

12 Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun

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

13 Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun

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

14 Faitha hum bialssahirati

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

15 Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

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

16 Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

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

17 Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

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

18 Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

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

19 Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

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

20 Faarahu alayata alkubra

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

21 Fakaththaba waAAasa

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

22 Thumma adbara yasAAa

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

23 Fahashara fanada

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

24 Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla

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

25 Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola

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

26 Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

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

27 Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

28 He raised its height, and has perfected it.

28 RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

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

29 Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

30 And after that He spread the earth,

30 Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha

31 And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture.

31 Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

32 And the mountains He has fixed firmly,

32 Waaljibala arsaha

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

33 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

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

34 Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra

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

35 Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa

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

36 Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

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

37 Faamma man tagha

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

38 Waathara alhayata alddunya

39 Verily, his abode will be Hell-fire;

39 Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa

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

40 Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa

41 Verily, Paradise will be his abode.

41 Fainna aljannata hiya almawa

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

42 Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

43 You have no knowledge to say anything about it.

43 Feema anta min thikraha

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

44 Ila rabbika muntahaha

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

45 Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

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

46 Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
