Chapter 79, 46 verses
By those [angels] who extract with violence
WaalnnaziAAati gharqan
وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا
And [by] those who remove with ease
Waalnnashitati nashtan
وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
Waalssabihati sabhan
وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا
And those who race each other in a race
Faalssabiqati sabqan
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا
And those who arrange [each] matter,
Faalmudabbirati amran
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
TatbaAAuha alrradifatu
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
Their eyes humbled.
Absaruha khashiAAatun
أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌ
They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?
Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ
Even if we should be decayed bones?
Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًا نَّخِرَةً
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
Faitha hum bialssahirati
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
Has there reached you the story of Moses? -
Hal ataka hadeethu moosa
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,
Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself
Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"
Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
And he showed him the greatest sign,
Faarahu alayata alkubra
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.
Fakaththaba waAAasa
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
Then he turned his back, striving.
Thumma adbara yasAAa
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
And he gathered [his people] and called out
Fahashara fanada
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
And said, "I am your most exalted lord."
Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].
Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ
Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].
Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ
Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.
Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بَنَىٰهَا
He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.
RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا
And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.
Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا
And after that He spread the earth.
Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ
He extracted from it its water and its pasture,
Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا
And the mountains He set firmly
Waaljibala arsaha
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا
As provision for you and your grazing livestock.
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
مَتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -
Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,
Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ
And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -
Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
So as for he who transgressed
Faamma man tagha
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
And preferred the life of the world,
Waathara alhayata alddunya
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.
Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,
Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ
Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.
Fainna aljannata hiya almawa
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا
In what [position] are you that you should mention it?
Feema anta min thikraha
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ
To your Lord is its finality.
Ila rabbika muntahaha
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ
You are only a warner for those who fear it.
Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا
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.
Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا
