| بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ | |
| In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. | |
| وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا |
01 |
| By those (angels) who pull out (the souls of the disbelievers and the wicked) with great violence; | |
| وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا |
02 |
| By those (angels) who gently take out (the souls of the believers); | |
| وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا |
03 |
| And by those that swim along (i.e. angels or planets in their orbits, etc.). | |
| فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا |
04 |
| And by those that press forward as in a race (i.e. the angels or stars or the horses, etc.). | |
| فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا |
05 |
| And by those angels who arrange to do the Commands of their Lord, (so verily, you disbelievers will be called to account). | |
| يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ |
06 |
| On the Day (when the first blowing of the Trumpet is blown), the earth and the mountains will shake violently (and everybody will die), | |
| تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ |
07 |
| The second blowing of the Trumpet follows it (and everybody will be raised up), | |
| قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ |
08 |
| (Some) hearts that Day will shake with fear and anxiety. | |
| أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ |
09 |
| Their eyes cast down. | |
| يَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ |
10 |
| They say: ”Shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state of life? | |
| أَئِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً |
11 |
| ”Even after we are crumbled bones?” | |
| قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ |
12 |
| They say: ”It would in that case, be a return with loss!” | |
| فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ |
13 |
| But only, it will be a single Zajrah [shout (i.e., the second blowing of the Trumpet)]. (See Verse 37:19). | |
| فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ |
14 |
| When, behold, they find themselves over the earth alive after their death, | |
| هَلْ أتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَى |
15 |
| Has there come to you the story of Mûsa (Moses)? | |
| إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى |
16 |
| When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tûwa, | |
| اذْهَبْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَى |
17 |
| Go to Fir’aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism, disbelief, etc.). | |
| فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَى أَن تَزَكَّى |
18 |
| And say to him: ”Would you purify yourself (from the sin of disbelief by becoming a believer)”, | |
| وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَى |
19 |
| And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him? | |
| فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَى |
20 |
| Then [Mûsa (Moses)] showed him the great sign (miracles). | |
| فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَى |
21 |
| But [Fir’aun (Pharaoh)] belied and disobeyed; | |
| ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَى |
22 |
| Then he turned his back, striving hard (against Allâh). | |
| فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَى |
23 |
| Then he gathered his people and cried aloud, | |
| فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَى |
24 |
| Saying: ”I am your lord, most high”, | |
| فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَى |
25 |
| So Allâh, seized him with punishment for his last [i.e. his saying: ”I am your lord, most high”) (see Verse 79:24)] and first [(i.e. his saying, ”O chiefs! I know not that you have a god other than I” (see Verse 28:38)] transgression. | |
| إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَى |
26 |
| Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allâh. | |
| أَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاء بَنَاهَا |
27 |
| Are you more difficult to create, or is the heaven that He constructed? | |
| رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا |
28 |
| He raised its height, and He has equally ordered it, | |
| وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا |
29 |
| Its night He covers with darkness, and its forenoon He brings out (with light). | |
| وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ دَحَاهَا |
30 |
| And after that He spread the earth; | |
| أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا |
31 |
| And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture; | |
| وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا |
32 |
| And the mountains He has fixed firmly; | |
| مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ |
33 |
| (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle. | |
| فَإِذَا جَاءتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَى |
34 |
| But when there comes the greatest catastrophe (i.e. the Day of Recompense, etc.), | |
| يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَى |
35 |
| The Day when man shall remember what he strove for, | |
| وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَى |
36 |
| And Hell-fire shall be made apparent in full view for (every) one who sees, | |
| فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَى |
37 |
| Then, for him who Taghâ (transgressed all bounds, in disbelief, oppression and evil deeds of disobedience to Allâh). | |
| وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا |
38 |
| And preferred the life of this world (by following his evil desires and lusts), | |
| فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى |
39 |
| Verily, his abode will be Hell-fire; | |
| وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى |
40 |
| But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil desires, and lusts. | |
| فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى |
41 |
| Verily, Paradise will be his abode. | |
| يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا |
42 |
| They ask you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him) about the Hour, – when will be its appointed time? | |
| فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا |
43 |
| You have no knowledge to say anything about it, | |
| إِلَى رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا |
44 |
| To your Lord belongs (the knowledge of) the term thereof? | |
| إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا |
45 |
| You (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him) are only a warner for those who fear it, | |
| كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا |
46 |
| The Day they see it, (it will be) as if they had not tarried (in this world) except an afternoon or a morning. | |
