Surah 79: An-Naazi'aat سُورَةُ النَّازِعَاتِ

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا 1

¹By those who drag forth to destruction,

وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا 2

²By the meteors rushing,

وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا 3

³By the lone stars floating,

فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا 4

⁴By the angels hastening,

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا 5

⁵And those who govern the event,

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ 6

⁶On the day when the first trump resoundeth.

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ 7

⁷And the second followeth it,

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ 8

⁸On that day hearts beat painfully

أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌ 9

⁹While eyes are downcast

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ 10

¹⁰(Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًا نَّخِرَةً 11

¹¹Even after we are crumbled bones?

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ 12

¹²They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ 13

¹³Surely it will need but one shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ 14

¹⁴And lo! they will be awakened.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ 15

¹⁵Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses?

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى 16

¹⁶How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ 17

¹⁷(Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled -

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ 18

¹⁸And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace)?

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ 19

¹⁹Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him).

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ 20

²⁰And he showed him the tremendous token.

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ 21

²¹But he denied and disobeyed,

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ 22

²²Then turned he away in haste,

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ 23

²³Then gathered he and summoned

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ 24

²⁴And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest."

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ 25

²⁵So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ 26

²⁶Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بَنَىٰهَا 27

²⁷Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built?

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا 28

²⁸He raised the height thereof and ordered it;

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا 29

²⁹And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ 30

³⁰And after that He spread the earth,

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا 31

³¹And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا 32

³²And He made fast the hills,

مَتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ 33

³³A provision for you and for your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ 34

³⁴But when the great disaster cometh,

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ 35

³⁵The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ 36

³⁶And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ 37

³⁷Then, as for him who rebelled

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا 38

³⁸And chose the life of the world,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ 39

³⁹Lo! hell will be his home.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ 40

⁴⁰But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ 41

⁴¹Lo! the Garden will be his home.

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا 42

⁴²They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port?

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ 43

⁴³Why (ask they)? What hast thou to tell thereof?

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ 44

⁴⁴Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof.

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا 45

⁴⁵Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا 46

⁴⁶On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.
