سورة النازعات

وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَٰتِ غَرۡقٗا

By those [angels] who extract with violence

وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَٰتِ نَشۡطٗا

And [by] those who remove with ease

وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَٰتِ سَبۡحٗا

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

فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَٰتِ سَبۡقٗا

And those who race each other in a race

فَٱلۡمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمۡرٗا

And those who arrange [each] matter

يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ

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

تَتۡبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ

There will follow it the subsequent [one]

قُلُوبٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ وَاجِفَةٌ

Hearts, that Day, will tremble

أَبۡصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٞ

Their eyes humbled

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرۡدُودُونَ فِي ٱلۡحَافِرَةِ

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

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمٗا نَّخِرَةٗ

Even if we should be decayed bones

قَالُواْ تِلۡكَ إِذٗا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٞ

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

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ

Indeed, it will be but one shout

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ

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

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ

Has there reached you the story of Moses

إِذۡ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

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

ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed

فَقُلۡ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ

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

وَأَهۡدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشَىٰ

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

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلۡأٓيَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ

And he showed him the greatest sign

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ

But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed

ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ يَسۡعَىٰ

Then he turned his back, striving

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ

And he gathered [his people] and called out

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ

And said, "I am your most exalted lord

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ

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

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةٗ لِّمَن يَخۡشَىٰٓ

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

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُۚ بَنَىٰهَا

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

رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا

He raised its ceiling and proportioned it

وَأَغۡطَشَ لَيۡلَهَا وَأَخۡرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا

And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ

And after that He spread the earth

أَخۡرَجَ مِنۡهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرۡعَىٰهَا

He extracted from it its water and its pasture

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَرۡسَىٰهَا

And the mountains He set firmly

مَتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ

As provision for you and your grazing livestock

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity

يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ

The Day when man will remember that for which he strove

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ

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

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ

So as for he who transgressed

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا

And preferred the life of the world

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفۡسَ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ

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

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَا

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

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكۡرَىٰهَآ

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

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ

To your Lord is its finality

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰهَا

You are only a warner for those who fear it

كَأَنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَهَا لَمۡ يَلۡبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوۡ ضُحَىٰهَا

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
