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