Al Nazaat

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

1 WaalnnaziAAati gharqan

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

2 Waalnnashitati nashtan

3 And by those who float in space,

3 Waalssabihati sabhan

4 Then those who are foremost going ahead,

4 Faalssabiqati sabqan

5 Then those who regulate the affair.

5 Faalmudabbirati amran

6 The day on which the quaking one shall quake,

6 Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu

7 What must happen afterwards shall follow it.

7 TatbaAAuha alrradifatu

8 Hearts on that day shall palpitate,

8 Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun

9 Their eyes cast down.

9 Absaruha khashiAAatun

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

10 Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati

11 What! when we are rotten bones?

11 Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan

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

12 Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun

13 But it shall be only a single cry,

13 Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun

14 When lo! they shall be wakeful.

14 Faitha hum bialssahirati

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

15 Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

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

16 Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

17 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.

17 Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

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

18 Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

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

19 Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

20 So he showed him the mighty sign.

20 Faarahu alayata alkubra

21 But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.

21 Fakaththaba waAAasa

22 Then he went back hastily.

22 Thumma adbara yasAAa

23 Then he gathered (men) and called out.

23 Fahashara fanada

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

24 Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla

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

25 Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola

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

26 Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

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

27 Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

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

28 RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

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

29 Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

30 And the earth, He expanded it after that.

30 Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha

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

31 Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

32 And the mountains, He made them firm,

32 Waaljibala arsaha

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

33 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

34 But when the great predominating calamity comes;

34 Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra

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

35 Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa

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

36 Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

37 Then as for him who is inordinate,

37 Faamma man tagha

38 And prefers the life of this world,

38 Waathara alhayata alddunya

39 Then surely the hell, that is the abode.

39 Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa

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 surely the garden - - that is the abode.

41 Fainna aljannata hiya almawa

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

42 Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

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

43 Feema anta min thikraha

44 To your Lord is the goal of it.

44 Ila rabbika muntahaha

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

45 Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

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
