আল নাজআ’ত (মুক্তি)

1 By those [angels] who extract with violence

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

2 And [by] those who remove with ease

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

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

3 And by those who float in space,

4 And those who race each other in a race

4 Then those who are foremost going ahead,

5 And those who arrange [each] matter,

5 Then those who regulate the affair.

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

6 The day on which the quaking one shall quake,

7 There will follow it the subsequent [one].

7 What must happen afterwards shall follow it.

8 Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

8 Hearts on that day shall palpitate,

9 Their eyes humbled.

9 Their eyes cast down.

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?

11 Even if we should be decayed bones?

11 What! when we are rotten bones?

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

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

13 Indeed, it will be but one shout,

13 But it shall be only a single cry,

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

14 When lo! they shall be wakeful.

15 Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

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

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,

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

17 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.

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

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

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.

20 And he showed him the greatest sign,

20 So he showed him the mighty sign.

21 But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

21 But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.

22 Then he turned his back, striving.

22 Then he went back hastily.

23 And he gathered [his people] and called out

23 Then he gathered (men) and called out.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

28 He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

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

29 And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

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

30 And after that He spread the earth.

30 And the earth, He expanded it after that.

31 He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

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

32 And the mountains He set firmly

32 And the mountains, He made them firm,

33 As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

34 But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

34 But when the great predominating calamity comes;

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

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

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

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

37 So as for he who transgressed

37 Then as for him who is inordinate,

38 And preferred the life of the world,

38 And prefers the life of this world,

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

39 Then surely the hell, that is the abode.

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

44 To your Lord is its finality.

44 To your Lord is the goal of it.

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

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

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.
