আন নাযিআত (যারা টেনে বের করে)

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By those (angels) who pull out (the souls of the disbelievers and the wicked) with great violence.

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

2 By those (angels) who gently take out (the souls of the believers).

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

3 And by those that swim along (i.e. angels or planets in their orbits).

3 And by those who float in space,

4 And by those that press forward as in a race (i.e. the angels or stars or the horses).

4 Then those who are foremost going ahead,

5 And by those angels who arrange to do the Commands of their Lord, (so verily, you disbelievers will be called to account).

5 Then those who regulate the affair.

6 On the Day (when the first blowing of the Trumpet is blown), the earth and the mountains will shake violently (and everybody will die).

6 The day on which the quaking one shall quake,

7 The second blowing of the Trumpet follows it (and everybody will be resurrected).

7 What must happen afterwards shall follow it.

8 (Some) hearts that Day will shake with fear and anxiety.

8 Hearts on that day shall palpitate,

9 Their eyes will be downcast.

9 Their eyes cast down.

10 They say: "Shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state of life?

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

11 "Even after we are crumbled bones?"

11 What! when we are rotten bones?

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

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

13 But it will be only a single Zajrah [shout (i.e., the second blowing of the Trumpet)], (See Verse 37:19).

13 But it shall be only a single cry,

14 When behold, they find themselves on the surface of the earth alive after their death,

14 When lo! they shall be wakeful.

15 Has there come to you the story of Musa (Moses)?

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

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

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

17 Go to Fir'aun (Pharaoh); verily he has transgressed all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism, disbelief).

17 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.

18 And say to him: "Would you purify yourself (from the sin of disbelief by becoming a believer)?"

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

19 "And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him?"

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

20 Then [Musa (Moses)] showed him the great sign (miracles).

20 So he showed him the mighty sign.

21 But [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] belied and disobeyed.

21 But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.

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

22 Then he went back hastily.

23 Then he gathered (his people) and cried aloud,

23 Then he gathered (men) and called out.

24 Saying: "I am your lord, most high."

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

25 So Allah, seized him with punishment for his last and first transgression. [Tafsir At-Tabari]

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

26 Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allah.

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

27 Are you more difficult to create or is the heaven that He constructed?

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

28 He raised its height, and has perfected it.

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

29 Its night He covers with darkness and its forenoon He brings out (with light)

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 And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture.

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

32 And the mountains He has fixed firmly,

32 And the mountains, He made them firm,

33 (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

34 But when there comes the greatest catastrophe (i.e. the Day of Recompense) -

34 But when the great predominating calamity comes;

35 The Day when man shall remember what he strove for.

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

36 And Hell-fire shall be made apparent in full view for (every) one who sees.

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

37 Then for him who transgressed all bounds, (in disbelief, oppression and evil deeds of disobedience to Allah).

37 Then as for him who is inordinate,

38 And preferred the life of this world (by following his evil desires and lusts),

38 And prefers the life of this world,

39 Verily, his abode will be Hell-fire;

39 Then surely the hell, that is the abode.

40 But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil desires and lusts.

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

41 Verily, Paradise will be his abode.

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

42 They ask you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) about the Hour - when will be its appointed time?

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

43 You have no knowledge to say anything about it.

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

44 To your Lord belongs (the knowledge of) the term thereof?

44 To your Lord is the goal of it.

45 You (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are only a warner for those who fear it,

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

46 The Day they see it, (it will be) as if they had not tarried (in this world) except an afternoon or a morning.

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.
