আন নাযিআত (যারা টেনে বের করে)

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

1 By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;

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

2 By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed);

3 And by those who float in space,

3 And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy),

4 Then those who are foremost going ahead,

4 Then press forward as in a race,

5 Then those who regulate the affair.

5 Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord),

6 The day on which the quaking one shall quake,

6 One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,

7 What must happen afterwards shall follow it.

7 Followed by oft - repeated (commotions):

8 Hearts on that day shall palpitate,

8 Hearts that Day will be in agitation;

9 Their eyes cast down.

9 Cast down will be (their owners') eyes.

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

10 They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state?

11 What! when we are rotten bones?

11 "What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?"

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

12 They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!"

13 But it shall be only a single cry,

13 But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry,

14 When lo! they shall be wakeful.

14 When, behold, they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment).

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

15 Has the story of Moses reached thee?

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

16 Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa: -

17 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.

17 "Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds:

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

18 "And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)? -

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

19 "'And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'"

20 So he showed him the mighty sign.

20 Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign.

21 But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.

21 But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance);

22 Then he went back hastily.

22 Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).

23 Then he gathered (men) and called out.

23 Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation,

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

24 Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".

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

25 But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.

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

26 Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah).

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

27 What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it:

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

28 On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection.

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

29 Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light).

30 And the earth, He expanded it after that.

30 And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);

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

31 He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;

32 And the mountains, He made them firm,

32 And the mountains hath He firmly fixed; -

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

33 For use and convenience to you and your cattle.

34 But when the great predominating calamity comes;

34 Therefore, when there comes the great, overwhelming (Event), -

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

35 The Day when man shall remember (all) that he strove for,

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

36 And Hell - Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see, -

37 Then as for him who is inordinate,

37 Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds,

38 And prefers the life of this world,

38 And had preferred the life of this world,

39 Then surely the hell, that is the abode.

39 The Abode will be Hell - Fire;

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

40 And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires,

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

41 Their abode will be the Garden.

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

42 They ask thee about the Hour, - 'When will be its appointed time?

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

43 Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof?

44 To your Lord is the goal of it.

44 With thy Lord in the Limit fixed therefor.

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

45 Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it.

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 The Day they see it, (It will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening, or (at most till) the following morn!
