Surah An-Nazi'at

وَالنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًۭا۝١

By those [angels] who extract with violence

وَالنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًۭا۝٢

And [by] those who remove with ease

وَالسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًۭا۝٣

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

فَالسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًۭا۝٤

And those who race each other in a race

فَالْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًۭا۝٥

And those who arrange [each] matter,

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ۝٦

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

تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ۝٧

There will follow it the subsequent [one].

قُلُوبٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاجِفَةٌ۝٨

Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌۭ۝٩

Their eyes humbled.

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى الْحَافِرَةِ۝١٠

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

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ۝١١

Even if we should be decayed bones?

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ۝١٢

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

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ۝١٣

Indeed, it will be but one shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ۝١٤

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

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ۝١٥

Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى۝١٦

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

اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ۝١٧

"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ۝١٨

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

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ۝١٩

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

فَأَرَىٰهُ الْءَايَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ۝٢٠

And he showed him the greatest sign,

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ۝٢١

But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ۝٢٢

Then he turned his back, striving.

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ۝٢٣

And he gathered [his people] and called out

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ۝٢٤

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

فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْءَاخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰٓ۝٢٥

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

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ۝٢٦

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

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا۝٢٧

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

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا۝٢٨

He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا۝٢٩

And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ۝٣٠

And after that He spread the earth.

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا۝٣١

He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا۝٣٢

And the mountains He set firmly

مَتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ۝٣٣

As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ الطَّآمَّةُ الْكُبْرَىٰ۝٣٤

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ۝٣٥

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

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ۝٣٦

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

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ۝٣٧

So as for he who transgressed

وَءَاثَرَ الْحَيَوٰةَ الدُّنْيَا۝٣٨

And preferred the life of the world,

فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِىَ الْمَأْوَىٰ۝٣٩

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ۝٤٠

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

فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِىَ الْمَأْوَىٰ۝٤١

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا۝٤٢

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

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ۝٤٣

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

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ۝٤٤

To your Lord is its finality.

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا۝٤٥

You are only a warner for those who fear it.

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ 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.
