الـنازعات

1 By those [angels] who extract with violence

1 I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,

1 WaalnnaziAAati gharqan

2 And [by] those who remove with ease

2 And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,

2 Waalnnashitati nashtan

3 And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming

3 And by those who float in space,

3 Waalssabihati sabhan

4 And those who race each other in a race

4 Then those who are foremost going ahead,

4 Faalssabiqati sabqan

5 And those who arrange [each] matter,

5 Then those who regulate the affair.

5 Faalmudabbirati amran

6 On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

6 The day on which the quaking one shall quake,

6 Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu

7 There will follow it the subsequent [one].

7 What must happen afterwards shall follow it.

7 TatbaAAuha alrradifatu

8 Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

8 Hearts on that day shall palpitate,

8 Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun

9 Their eyes humbled.

9 Their eyes cast down.

9 Absaruha khashiAAatun

10 They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

10 They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?

10 Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati

11 Even if we should be decayed bones?

11 What! when we are rotten bones?

11 Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan

12 They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

12 They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.

12 Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun

13 Indeed, it will be but one shout,

13 But it shall be only a single cry,

13 Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun

14 And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

14 When lo! they shall be wakeful.

14 Faitha hum bialssahirati

15 Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

15 Has not there come to you the story of Musa?

15 Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

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

16 When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,

16 Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

17 "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

17 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.

17 Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

18 And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

18 Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:

18 Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

19 And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"

19 And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.

19 Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

20 And he showed him the greatest sign,

20 So he showed him the mighty sign.

20 Faarahu alayata alkubra

21 But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

21 But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.

21 Fakaththaba waAAasa

22 Then he turned his back, striving.

22 Then he went back hastily.

22 Thumma adbara yasAAa

23 And he gathered [his people] and called out

23 Then he gathered (men) and called out.

23 Fahashara fanada

24 And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

24 Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.

24 Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla

25 So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].

25 So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.

25 Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola

26 Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].

26 Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.

26 Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

27 Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.

27 Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.

27 Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

28 He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

28 He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.

28 RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

29 And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

29 And He made dark its night and brought out its light.

29 Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

30 And after that He spread the earth.

30 And the earth, He expanded it after that.

30 Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha

31 He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

31 He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.

31 Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

32 And the mountains He set firmly

32 And the mountains, He made them firm,

32 Waaljibala arsaha

33 As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

33 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

34 But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

34 But when the great predominating calamity comes;

34 Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra

35 The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

35 The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,

35 Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa

36 And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

36 And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees

36 Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

37 So as for he who transgressed

37 Then as for him who is inordinate,

37 Faamma man tagha

38 And preferred the life of the world,

38 And prefers the life of this world,

38 Waathara alhayata alddunya

39 Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

39 Then surely the hell, that is the abode.

39 Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa

40 But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

40 And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,

40 Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa

41 Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

41 Then surely the garden - - that is the abode.

41 Fainna aljannata hiya almawa

42 They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?

42 They ask you about the hour, when it will come.

42 Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

43 In what [position] are you that you should mention it?

43 About what! You are one to remind of it.

43 Feema anta min thikraha

44 To your Lord is its finality.

44 To your Lord is the goal of it.

44 Ila rabbika muntahaha

45 You are only a warner for those who fear it.

45 You are only a warner to him who would fear it.

45 Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

46 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.

46 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.

46 Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
