Chapter 79, 46 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا
I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا
وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا
And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا
وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا
And by those who float in space,
وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا
فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا
Then those who are foremost going ahead,
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا
فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا
Then those who regulate the affair.
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ
The day on which the quaking one shall quake,
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ
What must happen afterwards shall follow it.
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ
Their eyes cast down.
أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌ
يَقُولُونَ أَإِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ
They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ
أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً
What! when we are rotten bones?
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًا نَّخِرَةً
قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ
But it shall be only a single cry,
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ
فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ
When lo! they shall be wakeful.
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰ
Has not there come to you the story of Musa?
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ
Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
So he showed him the mighty sign.
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
Then he went back hastily.
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
Then he gathered (men) and called out.
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ
Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰ
So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ
Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ
أَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ ۚ بَنَاهَا
Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بَنَىٰهَا
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا
He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا
And He made dark its night and brought out its light.
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا
وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَاهَا
And the earth, He expanded it after that.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا
He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا
وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا
And the mountains, He made them firm,
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا
مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
A provision for you and for your cattle.
مَتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَىٰ
But when the great predominating calamity comes;
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَىٰ
The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ
وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
Then as for him who is inordinate,
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
And prefers the life of this world,
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ
Then surely the hell, that is the abode.
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ
And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ
فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ
Then surely the garden - - that is the abode.
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا
They ask you about the hour, when it will come.
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا
About what! You are one to remind of it.
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا
To your Lord is the goal of it.
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ
إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا
You are only a warner to him who would fear it.
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا
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.
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا
