By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والنازعات غرقا
WaalnnaziAAati gharqan
Chapter 79, 46 verses
By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والنازعات غرقا
WaalnnaziAAati gharqan
By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed);
والناشطات نشطا
Waalnnashitati nashtan
And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy),
والسابحات سبحا
Waalssabihati sabhan
Then press forward as in a race,
فالسابقات سبقا
Faalssabiqati sabqan
Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord),
فالمدبرات أمرا
Faalmudabbirati amran
One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,
يوم ترجف الراجفة
Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu
Followed by oft - repeated (commotions):
تتبعها الرادفة
TatbaAAuha alrradifatu
Hearts that Day will be in agitation;
قلوب يومئذ واجفة
Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun
Cast down will be (their owners') eyes.
أبصارها خاشعة
Absaruha khashiAAatun
They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state?
يقولون أإنا لمردودون في الحافرة
Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati
"What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?"
أإذا كنا عظاما نخرة
Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan
They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!"
قالوا تلك إذا كرة خاسرة
Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun
But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry,
فإنما هي زجرة واحدة
Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun
When, behold, they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment).
فإذا هم بالساهرة
Faitha hum bialssahirati
Has the story of Moses reached thee?
هل أتاك حديث موسى
Hal ataka hadeethu moosa
Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa: -
إذ ناداه ربه بالواد المقدس طوى
Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan
"Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds:
اذهب إلى فرعون إنه طغى
Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha
"And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)? -
فقل هل لك إلى أن تزكى
Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka
"'And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'"
وأهديك إلى ربك فتخشى
Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha
Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign.
فأراه الآية الكبرى
Faarahu alayata alkubra
But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance);
فكذب وعصى
Fakaththaba waAAasa
Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).
ثم أدبر يسعى
Thumma adbara yasAAa
Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation,
فحشر فنادى
Fahashara fanada
Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".
فقال أنا ربكم الأعلى
Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla
But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.
فأخذه الله نكال الآخرة والأولى
Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola
Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah).
إن في ذلك لعبرة لمن يخشى
Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha
What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it:
أأنتم أشد خلقا أم السماء ۚ بناها
Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha
On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection.
رفع سمكها فسواها
RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha
Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light).
وأغطش ليلها وأخرج ضحاها
Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha
And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);
والأرض بعد ذلك دحاها
Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha
He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;
أخرج منها ماءها ومرعاها
Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha
And the mountains hath He firmly fixed; -
والجبال أرساها
Waaljibala arsaha
For use and convenience to you and your cattle.
متاعا لكم ولأنعامكم
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
Therefore, when there comes the great, overwhelming (Event), -
فإذا جاءت الطامة الكبرى
Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra
The Day when man shall remember (all) that he strove for,
يوم يتذكر الإنسان ما سعى
Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa
And Hell - Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see, -
وبرزت الجحيم لمن يرى
Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara
Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds,
فأما من طغى
Faamma man tagha
And had preferred the life of this world,
وآثر الحياة الدنيا
Waathara alhayata alddunya
The Abode will be Hell - Fire;
فإن الجحيم هي المأوى
Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa
And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires,
وأما من خاف مقام ربه ونهى النفس عن الهوى
Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa
Their abode will be the Garden.
فإن الجنة هي المأوى
Fainna aljannata hiya almawa
They ask thee about the Hour, - 'When will be its appointed time?
يسألونك عن الساعة أيان مرساها
Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha
Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof?
فيم أنت من ذكراها
Feema anta min thikraha
With thy Lord in the Limit fixed therefor.
إلى ربك منتهاها
Ila rabbika muntahaha
Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it.
إنما أنت منذر من يخشاها
Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha
The Day they see it, (It will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening, or (at most till) the following morn!
كأنهم يوم يرونها لم يلبثوا إلا عشية أو ضحاها
Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
