بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا ١
وَالنّٰزِعٰتِ غَرۡقًا ۙ ١
79:1 I swear by those (angels) who pull out (the souls of the infidels) with extreme force,
وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا ٢
وَّالنّٰشِطٰتِ نَشۡطًا ۙ ٢
79:2 and by those (angels) who untie the knot (of the souls of the believers) smoothly,
وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا ٣
وَّالسّٰبِحٰتِ سَبۡحًا ۙ ٣
79:3 and by those who float (in the atmosphere) swiftly,
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا ٤
فَالسّٰبِقٰتِ سَبۡقًا ۙ ٤
79:4 then proceed forward quickly,
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا ٥
فَالۡمُدَبِّرٰتِ اَمۡرًا ۘ ٥
79:5 then manage (to do) everything (they are ordered to do,)
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ٦
يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ ۙ ٦
79:6 (you will be resurrected) on the Day when the shocking event (i.e. the first blowing of the trumpet) will shock (everything),
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ٧
تَتۡبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ ؕ ٧
79:7 followed by the next one (i.e. the second blowing of the trumpet.)
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ ٨
قُلُوۡبٌ يَّوۡمَٮِٕذٍ وَّاجِفَةٌ ۙ ٨
79:8 On that day, hearts (of people) will be throbbing,
أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌ ٩
اَبۡصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ ۘ ٩
79:9 with their eyes downcast.
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ ١٠
يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ ءَاِنَّا لَمَرۡدُوۡدُوۡنَ فِى الۡحَـافِرَةِ ؕ ١٠
79:10 They (the infidels) say, “Are we going to be brought back to our former state (of Life)?
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًا نَّخِرَةً ١١
ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً ؕ ١١
79:11 Is it when we are turned into decayed bones?”
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ ١٢
قَالُوۡا تِلۡكَ اِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ ۘ ١٢
79:12 They say, “If so, that will be a harmful homecoming.”
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ ١٣
فَاِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجۡرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ ۙ ١٣
79:13 In fact, it will be only a single harsh voice,
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ١٤
فَاِذَا هُمۡ بِالسَّاهِرَةِ ؕ ١٤
79:14 and in no time they will be (brought) into the plain (of Hashr).
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ١٥
هَلۡ اَتٰٮكَ حَدِيۡثُ مُوۡسٰىۘ ١٥
79:15 Has there come to you the narrative about Mūsā?
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ١٦
اِذۡ نَادٰٮهُ رَبُّهٗ بِالۡوَادِ الۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوًىۚ ١٦
79:16 (Recall) when his Lord called to him in the blessed valley of Tuwā:
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ١٧
اِذۡهَبۡ اِلٰى فِرۡعَوۡنَ اِنَّهٗ طَغٰى ۖ ١٧
79:17 “Go to Fir‘aun (Pharaoh). Indeed, he has crossed all bounds.
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ١٨
فَقُلۡ هَلۡ لَّكَ اِلٰٓى اَنۡ تَزَكّٰى ۙ ١٨
79:18 And say (to him,) ‘Would you like to purify yourself,
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ ١٩
وَاَهۡدِيَكَ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشٰىۚ ١٩
79:19 and that I should guide you to your Lord, so that you fear (Him)?’”
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ٢٠
فَاَرٰٮهُ الۡاٰيَةَ الۡكُبۡرٰى ۖ ٢٠
79:20 So, he (Mūsā) showed him the biggest sign.
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ٢١
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصٰى ۖ ٢١
79:21 But he rejected and disobeyed,
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ٢٢
ثُمَّ اَدۡبَرَ يَسۡعٰىۖ ٢٢
79:22 then he turned back, and tried hard (to refute the Messenger),
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ٢٣
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادٰىۖ ٢٣
79:23 then he gathered (his people) and shouted
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ٢٤
فَقَالَ اَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الۡاَعۡلٰى ۖ ٢٤
79:24 and said, “I am your supreme lord.”
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ٢٥
فَاَخَذَهُ اللّٰهُ نَڪَالَ الۡاٰخِرَةِ وَالۡاُوۡلٰى ؕ ٢٥
79:25 So, Allah seized him for an exemplary punishment in the Hereafter and the present world.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ٢٦
اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةً لِّمَنۡ يَّخۡشٰىؕ ٢٦
79:26 Indeed, there is a lesson for him who fears (Allah).
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا ٢٧
ءَاَنۡتُمۡ اَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا اَمِ السَّمَآءُ ؕ بَنٰٮهَا ٢٧
79:27 Is your creation more difficult or that of the sky? He has built it,
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ٢٨
رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوَّٮهَا ۙ ٢٨
79:28 He has raised its height, then made it proper,
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ٢٩
وَ اَغۡطَشَ لَيۡلَهَا وَاَخۡرَجَ ضُحٰٮهَا ٢٩
79:29 and darkened its night, and brought forth its daylight,
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ٣٠
وَالۡاَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذٰلِكَ دَحٰٮهَا ؕ ٣٠
79:30 and, after that, He spread out the earth.
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا ٣١
اَخۡرَجَ مِنۡهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرۡعٰٮهَا ٣١
79:31 From it, He brought out its water and its meadows,
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا ٣٢
وَالۡجِبَالَ اَرۡسٰٮهَا ۙ ٣٢
79:32 and firmly fixed the mountains,
مَتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ ٣٣
مَتَاعًا لَّـكُمۡ وَلِاَنۡعَامِكُمۡؕ ٣٣
79:33 (all this) as a benefit to you and your cattle.
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ٣٤
فَاِذَا جَآءَتِ الطَّآمَّةُ الۡكُبۡرٰى ۖ ٣٤
79:34 So when the Greatest Havoc will take place
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ٣٥
يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مَا سَعٰىۙ ٣٥
79:35 on the day when man will recall what he did,
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ٣٦
وَبُرِّزَتِ الۡجَحِيۡمُ لِمَنۡ يَّرٰى ٣٦
79:36 and the Hell will be exposed for all who see,
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ٣٧
فَاَمَّا مَنۡ طَغٰىۙ ٣٧
79:37 then for the one who had rebelled,
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ٣٨
وَاٰثَرَ الۡحَيٰوةَ الدُّنۡيَا ۙ ٣٨
79:38 and preferred the worldly life (to the Hereafter),
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ٣٩
فَاِنَّ الۡجَحِيۡمَ هِىَ الۡمَاۡوٰىؕ ٣٩
79:39 the Hell will be the abode,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ ٤٠
وَاَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهٖ وَ نَهَى النَّفۡسَ عَنِ الۡهَوٰىۙ ٤٠
79:40 whereas for the one who feared to stand before his Lord, and restrained his self from the (evil) desire,
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ٤١
فَاِنَّ الۡجَـنَّةَ هِىَ الۡمَاۡوٰىؕ ٤١
79:41 the Paradise will be the abode.
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا ٤٢
يَسۡـــَٔلُوۡنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَيَّانَ مُرۡسٰٮهَا ؕ ٤٢
79:42 They ask you (O Prophet,) about the Hour (the Day of Judgment) as to when it will take place.
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ ٤٣
فِيۡمَ اَنۡتَ مِنۡ ذِكۡرٰٮهَاؕ ٤٣
79:43 In which capacity are you to tell this?
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ٤٤
اِلٰى رَبِّكَ مُنۡتَهٰٮهَاؕ ٤٤
79:44 With your Lord is the final word about it.
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا ٤٥
اِنَّمَاۤ اَنۡتَ مُنۡذِرُ مَنۡ يَّخۡشٰٮهَاؕ ٤٥
79:45 You are only a warner for anyone who fears it.
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا ٤٦
كَاَنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَهَا لَمۡ يَلۡبَثُوۡۤا اِلَّا عَشِيَّةً اَوۡ ضُحٰٮهَا ٤٦
79:46 The day they will see it, it will seem to them as if they did not live (in the world) but only for one afternoon or for the morning thereof.
