An-Naazi'aat

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرْقًا ۝١

By those who drag forth to destruction,

وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشْطًا ۝٢

By the meteors rushing,

وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبْحًا ۝٣

By the lone stars floating,

فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبْقًا ۝٤

By the angels hastening,

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا ۝٥

And those who govern the event,

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ۝٦

On the day when the first trump resoundeth.

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ۝٧

And the second followeth it,

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ ۝٨

On that day hearts beat painfully

أَبْصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌ ۝٩

While eyes are downcast

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ ۝١٠

(Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًا نَّخِرَةً ۝١١

Even after we are crumbled bones?

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ ۝١٢

They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ ۝١٣

Surely it will need but one shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ۝١٤

And lo! they will be awakened.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ۝١٥

Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses?

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ۝١٦

How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ۝١٧

(Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled -

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ۝١٨

And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace)?

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ ۝١٩

Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him).

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ۝٢٠

And he showed him the tremendous token.

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ۝٢١

But he denied and disobeyed,

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ۝٢٢

Then turned he away in haste,

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ۝٢٣

Then gathered he and summoned

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ۝٢٤

And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest."

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ۝٢٥

So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ۝٢٦

Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا ۝٢٧

Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built?

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ۝٢٨

He raised the height thereof and ordered it;

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ۝٢٩

And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ۝٣٠

And after that He spread the earth,

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا ۝٣١

And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا ۝٣٢

And He made fast the hills,

مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ ۝٣٣

A provision for you and for your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ۝٣٤

But when the great disaster cometh,

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ۝٣٥

The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ۝٣٦

And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ۝٣٧

Then, as for him who rebelled

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۝٣٨

And chose the life of the world,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ۝٣٩

Lo! hell will be his home.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ ۝٤٠

But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ۝٤١

Lo! the Garden will be his home.

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا ۝٤٢

They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port?

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ ۝٤٣

Why (ask they)? What hast thou to tell thereof?

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ۝٤٤

Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof.

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا ۝٤٥

Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا ۝٤٦

On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.
