سُورَةُ النَّازِعَاتِ

By those [angels] who extract with violence

Wan naazi 'aati gharqa

And [by] those who remove with ease

Wan naa shi taati nashta

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

Wass saabi-haati sabha

And those who race each other in a race

Fass saabi qaati sabqa

And those who arrange [each] matter,

Fal mu dab-bi raati amra

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

Yawma tarjufur raajifa

There will follow it the subsequent [one].

Tatba'u har raadifa

Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

Quloobuny-yau maaiziw-waaji-fa

Their eyes humbled.

Absaa ruhaa khashi'ah

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

Ya qoo loona a-inna lamar doo doona fil haafirah

Even if we should be decayed bones?

Aizaa kunna 'izaa man-nakhirah

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

Qaalu tilka izan karratun khaasirah.

Indeed, it will be but one shout,

Fa inna ma hiya zajratuw-waahida

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

Faizaa hum biss saahirah

Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

Hal ataaka hadeethu Musaa

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

Iz nadaahu rabbuhu bil waadil-muqad dasi tuwa

"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

Izhab ilaa fir'auna innahu taghaa.

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

Faqul hal laka ilaa-an tazakka.

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

Wa ahdi yaka ila rabbika fatakh sha

And he showed him the greatest sign,

Fa araahul-aayatal kubra.

But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

Fa kazzaba wa asaa.

Then he turned his back, striving.

Thumma adbara yas'aa.

And he gathered [his people] and called out

Fa hashara fanada.

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

Faqala ana rabbu kumul-a'laa.

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

Fa-akha zahul laahu nakalal aakhirati wal-oola.

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

Inna fee zaalika la'ibratal limaiy-yaksha

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

A-antum a shaddu khalqan amis samaa-u banaaha.

He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

Raf'a sam kaha fasaw waaha

And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

Wa aghtasha lailaha wa akhraja duhaaha.

And after that He spread the earth.

Wal arda b'ada zaalika dahaaha.

He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

Akhraja minha maa-aha wa mar 'aaha.

And the mountains He set firmly

Wal jibala arsaaha.

As provision for you and your grazing livestock.

Mataa'al lakum wali an 'aamikum.

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

Fa-izaa jaaa'atit taaam matul kubraa.

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

Yauma Yata zakkarul insaanu ma sa'aa.

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

Wa burrizatil-jaheemu limany-yaraa.

So as for he who transgressed

Fa ammaa man taghaa.

And preferred the life of the world,

Wa aasaral hayaatad dunyaa

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

Fa innal jaheema hiyal maawaa.

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

Wa ammaa man khaafa maqaama Rabbihee wa nahan nafsa 'anil hawaa

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

Fa innal jannata hiyal maawaa

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

Yas'aloonaka 'anis saa'ati ayyaana mursaahaa

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

Feema anta min zikraahaa

To your Lord is its finality.

Ilaa Rabbika muntahaa haa

You are only a warner for those who fear it.

Innamaaa anta munziru maiy yakshaahaa

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.

Ka annahum Yawma yarawnahaa lam yalbasooo illaa 'ashiyyatan aw duhaahaa
