بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا
WaalnnaziAAati gharqan
By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;
Chapter 79, 46 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا
WaalnnaziAAati gharqan
By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;
وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا
Waalnnashitati nashtan
By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed);
وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا
Waalssabihati sabhan
And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy),
فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا
Faalssabiqati sabqan
Then press forward as in a race,
فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا
Faalmudabbirati amran
Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord),
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ
Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu
One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,
تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ
TatbaAAuha alrradifatu
Followed by oft - repeated (commotions):
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun
Hearts that Day will be in agitation;
أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ
Absaruha khashiAAatun
Cast down will be (their owners') eyes.
يَقُولُونَ أَإِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ
Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati
They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state?
أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً
Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan
"What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?"
قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun
They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!"
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ
Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun
But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry,
فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ
Faitha hum bialssahirati
When, behold, they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment).
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰ
Hal ataka hadeethu moosa
Has the story of Moses reached thee?
إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan
Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa: -
اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ
Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha
"Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds:
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka
"And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)? -
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha
"'And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'"
فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
Faarahu alayata alkubra
Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign.
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
Fakaththaba waAAasa
But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance);
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
Thumma adbara yasAAa
Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
Fahashara fanada
Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation,
فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ
Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla
Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".
فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰ
Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola
But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ
Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha
Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah).
أَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ ۚ بَنَاهَا
Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha
What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it:
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا
RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha
On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection.
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا
Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha
Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light).
وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَاهَا
Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha
And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا
Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha
He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;
وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا
Waaljibala arsaha
And the mountains hath He firmly fixed; -
مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
For use and convenience to you and your cattle.
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَىٰ
Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra
Therefore, when there comes the great, overwhelming (Event), -
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَىٰ
Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa
The Day when man shall remember (all) that he strove for,
وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara
And Hell - Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see, -
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
Faamma man tagha
Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds,
وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
Waathara alhayata alddunya
And had preferred the life of this world,
فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ
Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa
The Abode will be Hell - Fire;
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ
Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa
And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires,
فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ
Fainna aljannata hiya almawa
Their abode will be the Garden.
يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا
Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha
They ask thee about the Hour, - 'When will be its appointed time?
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا
Feema anta min thikraha
Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof?
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا
Ila rabbika muntahaha
With thy Lord in the Limit fixed therefor.
إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا
Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha
Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it.
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا
Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
The Day they see it, (It will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening, or (at most till) the following morn!
