আন নাযিআত (যারা টেনে বের করে)

1 By those [angels] who extract with violence

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

2 And [by] those who remove with ease

2 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 glide along (on errands of mercy),

4 And those who race each other in a race

4 Then press forward as in a race,

5 And those who arrange [each] matter,

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

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

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

7 There will follow it the subsequent [one].

7 Followed by oft - repeated (commotions):

8 Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

8 Hearts that Day will be in agitation;

9 Their eyes humbled.

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

10 They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

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

11 Even if we should be decayed bones?

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

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

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

13 Indeed, it will be but one shout,

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

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

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

15 Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

15 Has the story of Moses reached thee?

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

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

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

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

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

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

19 And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"

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

20 And he showed him the greatest sign,

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

21 But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

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

22 Then he turned his back, striving.

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

23 And he gathered [his people] and called out

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

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

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

25 So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].

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

26 Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].

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

27 Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.

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

28 He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

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

29 And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

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

30 And after that He spread the earth.

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

31 He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

31 He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;

32 And the mountains He set firmly

32 And the mountains hath He firmly fixed; -

33 As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

33 For use and convenience to you and your cattle.

34 But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

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

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

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

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

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

37 So as for he who transgressed

37 Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds,

38 And preferred the life of the world,

38 And had preferred the life of this world,

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

39 The Abode will be Hell - Fire;

40 But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

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 indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

41 Their abode will be the Garden.

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

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

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

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

44 To your Lord is its finality.

44 With thy Lord in the Limit fixed therefor.

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

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