An-Naziat

وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرْقًا ١

By those ˹angels˺ stripping out ˹evil souls˺ harshly

وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشْطًا ٢

and those pulling out ˹good souls˺ gently

وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبْحًا ٣

and those gliding ˹through heavens˺ swiftly

فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبْقًا ٤

and those taking the lead vigorously

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٲتِ أَمْرًا ٥

and those conducting affairs ˹obediently˺

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ٦

˹Consider˺ the Day ˹when˺ the quaking Blast will come to pass

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ٧

followed by a second Blast

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ ٨

˹The deniers’˺ hearts on that Day will be trembling ˹in horror˺

أَبْصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌ ٩

with their eyes downcast

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ ١٠

˹But now˺ they ask ˹mockingly˺, “Will we really be restored to our former state

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًا نَّخِرَةً ١١

even after we have been reduced to decayed bones?”

قَالُواْ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ ١٢

Adding, “Then such a return would be a ˹total˺ loss ˹for us˺!”

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٲحِدَةٌ ١٣

But indeed, it will take only one ˹mighty˺ Blast

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ١٤

and at once they will be above ground

هَلْ أَتَـٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ١٥

Has the story of Moses reached you ˹O Prophet˺

إِذْ نَادَٮٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ١٦

His Lord called him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwa

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ١٧

˹commanding,˺ “Go to Pharaoh, for he has truly transgressed ˹all bounds˺

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ١٨

And say, ‘Would you ˹be willing to˺ purify yourself

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ ١٩

and let me guide you to your Lord so that you will be in awe ˹of Him˺?’”

فَأَرَٮٰهُ ٱلْأَيَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ٢٠

Then Moses showed him the great sign

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ٢١

but he denied and disobeyed ˹Allah˺

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ٢٢

then turned his back, striving ˹against the truth˺

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ٢٣

Then he summoned ˹his people˺ and called out

فَقَالَ أَنَا۟ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ٢٤

saying, “I am your lord, the most high!”

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ٢٥

So Allah overtook him, making him an example in this life and the next

إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ٢٦

Surely in this is a lesson for whoever stands in awe of ˹Allah˺

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ‌ۚ بَنَـٰهَا ٢٧

Which is harder to create: you or the sky? He built it

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّٮٰهَا ٢٨

raising it high and forming it flawlessly

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَـٰهَا ٢٩

He dimmed its night, and brought forth its daylight

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٲلِكَ دَحَـٰهَآ ٣٠

As for the earth, He spread it out as well

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَـٰهَا ٣١

bringing forth its water and pastures

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَـٰهَا ٣٢

and setting the mountains firmly ˹upon it˺—

مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ ٣٣

all as ˹a means of˺ sustenance for you and your animals

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ٣٤

But, when the Supreme Disaster comes to pass—

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ٣٥

the Day every person will remember all ˹their˺ striving

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ٣٦

and the Hellfire will be displayed for all to see—

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ٣٧

then as for those who transgressed

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٲةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ٣٨

and preferred the ˹fleeting˺ life of this world

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ٣٩

the Hellfire will certainly be ˹their˺ home

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ ٤٠

And as for those who were in awe of standing before their Lord and restrained themselves from ˹evil˺ desires

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ٤١

Paradise will certainly be ˹their˺ home

يَسْــَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَـٰهَا ٤٢

They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ regarding the Hour, “When will it be?”

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَٮٰهَآ ٤٣

But it is not for you to tell its time

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَـٰهَآ ٤٤

That knowledge rests with your Lord ˹alone˺

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَـٰهَا ٤٥

Your duty is only to warn whoever is in awe of it

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَـٰهَا ٤٦

On the Day they see it, it will be as if they had stayed ˹in the world˺ no more than one evening or its morning
