79. An-Nazi'at

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. 79:1

   وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرۡقٗا ١

   By those [angels] who extract with violence

2. 79:2

   وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشۡطٗا ٢

   And [by] those who remove with ease

3. 79:3

   وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبۡحٗا ٣

   And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming

4. 79:4

   فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبۡقٗا ٤

   And those who race each other in a race

5. 79:5

   فَٱلۡمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمۡرٗا ٥

   And those who arrange [each] matter,

6. 79:6

   يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ٦

   On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

7. 79:7

   تَتۡبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ٧

   There will follow it the subsequent [one].

8. 79:8

   قُلُوبٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ وَاجِفَةٌ ٨

   Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

9. 79:9

   أَبۡصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٞ ٩

   Their eyes humbled.

10. 79:10

    يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرۡدُودُونَ فِي ٱلۡحَافِرَةِ ١٠

    They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

11. 79:11

    أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمٗا نَّخِرَةٗ ١١

    Even if we should be decayed bones?"

12. 79:12

    قَالُواْ تِلۡكَ إِذٗا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٞ ١٢

    They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

13. 79:13

    فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ ١٣

    Indeed, it will be but one shout,

14. 79:14

    فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ١٤

    And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

15. 79:15

    هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ١٥

    Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

16. 79:16

    إِذۡ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ١٦

    When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwā,

17. 79:17

    ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ١٧

    "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

18. 79:18

    فَقُلۡ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ١٨

    And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

19. 79:19

    وَأَهۡدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشَىٰ ١٩

    And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"

20. 79:20

    فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلۡأٓيَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ٢٠

    And he showed him the greatest sign,

21. 79:21

    فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ٢١

    But he [i.e., Pharaoh] denied and disobeyed.

22. 79:22

    ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ يَسۡعَىٰ ٢٢

    Then he turned his back, striving [i.e., plotting].

23. 79:23

    فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ٢٣

    And he gathered [his people] and called out.

24. 79:24

    فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ٢٤

    And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

25. 79:25

    فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ ٢٥

    So Allāh seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression]..

26. 79:26

    إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةٗ لِّمَن يَخۡشَىٰٓ ٢٦

    Indeed in that is a lesson [i.e., warning] for whoever would fear [Allāh].

27. 79:27

    ءَأَنتُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُۚ بَنَىٰهَا ٢٧

    Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? He [i.e., Allāh] constructed it.

28. 79:28

    رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ٢٨

    He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

29. 79:29

    وَأَغۡطَشَ لَيۡلَهَا وَأَخۡرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ٢٩

    And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

30. 79:30

    وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ٣٠

    And after that He spread the earth.

31. 79:31

    أَخۡرَجَ مِنۡهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرۡعَىٰهَا ٣١

    He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

32. 79:32

    وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَرۡسَىٰهَا ٣٢

    And the mountains He set firmly

33. 79:33

    مَتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ ٣٣

    As enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.

34. 79:34

    فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ٣٤

    But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

35. 79:35

    يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ٣٥

    The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

36. 79:36

    وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ٣٦

    And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

37. 79:37

    فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ٣٧

    So as for he who transgressed

38. 79:38

    وَءَاثَرَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا ٣٨

    And preferred the life of the world,

39. 79:39

    فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ ٣٩

    Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

40. 79:40

    وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفۡسَ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ ٤٠

    But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

41. 79:41

    فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ ٤١

    Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

42. 79:42

    يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَا ٤٢

    They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?

43. 79:43

    فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكۡرَىٰهَآ ٤٣

    In what [position] are you that you should mention it?

44. 79:44

    إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ٤٤

    To your Lord is its finality.

45. 79:45

    إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰهَا ٤٥

    You are only a warner for those who fear it.

46. 79:46

    كَأَنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَهَا لَمۡ يَلۡبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوۡ ضُحَىٰهَا ٤٦

    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.
