Surah An-Nazi'at (Those Who Drag Forth)

وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرۡقࣰ ا ﴿1﴾

79:1 By those [angels] who extract with violence

وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشۡطࣰ ا ﴿2﴾

79:2 And [by] those who remove with ease

وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبۡحࣰ ا ﴿3﴾

79:3 And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming

فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبۡقࣰ ا ﴿4﴾

79:4 And those who race each other in a race

فَٱلۡمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمۡرࣰ ا ﴿5﴾

79:5 And those who arrange [each] matter,

يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ﴿6﴾

79:6 On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

تَتۡبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ﴿7﴾

79:7 There will follow it the subsequent [one].

قُلُوبࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ وَاجِفَةٌ ﴿8﴾

79:8 Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

أَبۡصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةࣱ‏ ﴿9﴾

79:9 Their eyes humbled.

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرۡدُودُونَ فِي ٱلۡحَافِرَةِ ﴿10﴾

79:10 They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمࣰ ا نَّخِرَةࣰ‏ ﴿11﴾

79:11 Even if we should be decayed bones?

قَالُواْ تِلۡكَ إِذࣰ ا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةࣱ‏ ﴿12﴾

79:12 They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةࣱ وَٰحِدَةࣱ‏ ﴿13﴾

79:13 Indeed, it will be but one shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ﴿14﴾

79:14 And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ﴿15﴾

79:15 Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

إِذۡ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ﴿16﴾

79:16 When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,

ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ﴿17﴾

79:17 "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

فَقُلۡ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ﴿18﴾

79:18 And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

وَأَهۡدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشَىٰ ﴿19﴾

79:19 And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلۡأٓيَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ﴿20﴾

79:20 And he showed him the greatest sign,

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ﴿21﴾

79:21 But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ يَسۡعَىٰ ﴿22﴾

79:22 Then he turned his back, striving.

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ﴿23﴾

79:23 And he gathered [his people] and called out

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ﴿24﴾

79:24 And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ ﴿25﴾

79:25 So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةࣰ لِّمَن يَخۡشَىٰٓ ﴿26﴾

79:26 Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُۚ بَنَىٰهَا ﴿27﴾

79:27 Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.

رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ﴿28﴾

79:28 He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

وَأَغۡطَشَ لَيۡلَهَا وَأَخۡرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ﴿29﴾

79:29 And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ﴿30﴾

79:30 And after that He spread the earth.

أَخۡرَجَ مِنۡهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرۡعَىٰهَا ﴿31﴾

79:31 He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَرۡسَىٰهَا ﴿32﴾

79:32 And the mountains He set firmly

مَتَٰعࣰ ا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ ﴿33﴾

79:33 As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ﴿34﴾

79:34 But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ﴿35﴾

79:35 The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ﴿36﴾

79:36 And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ﴿37﴾

79:37 So as for he who transgressed

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا ﴿38﴾

79:38 And preferred the life of the world,

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ ﴿39﴾

79:39 Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفۡسَ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ ﴿40﴾

79:40 But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ ﴿41﴾

79:41 Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَا ﴿42﴾

79:42 They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكۡرَىٰهَآ ﴿43﴾

79:43 In what [position] are you that you should mention it?

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ﴿44﴾

79:44 To your Lord is its finality.

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰهَا ﴿45﴾

79:45 You are only a warner for those who fear it.

كَأَنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَهَا لَمۡ يَلۡبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوۡ ضُحَىٰهَا ﴿46﴾

79:46 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.
