Chapter 79, 46 verses
By those [angels] who extract with violence
وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا
And [by] those who remove with ease
وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا
وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا
وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا
And those who race each other in a race
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا
فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا
And those who arrange [each] matter,
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا
فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
Their eyes humbled.
أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌ
أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ
They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ
يَقُولُونَ أَإِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ
Even if we should be decayed bones?
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًا نَّخِرَةً
أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ
Has there reached you the story of Moses? -
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰ
When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ
And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
And he showed him the greatest sign,
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
Then he turned his back, striving.
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
And he gathered [his people] and called out
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
And said, "I am your most exalted lord."
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ
So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ
فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰ
Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ
Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بَنَىٰهَا
أَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ ۚ بَنَاهَا
He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا
And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا
And after that He spread the earth.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ
وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَاهَا
He extracted from it its water and its pasture,
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا
And the mountains He set firmly
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا
وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا
As provision for you and your grazing livestock.
مَتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَىٰ
The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَىٰ
And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
So as for he who transgressed
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
And preferred the life of the world,
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ
But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ
Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا
يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا
In what [position] are you that you should mention it?
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا
To your Lord is its finality.
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا
You are only a warner for those who fear it.
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا
إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا
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.
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا
