Surah An-Naazi'aat سُورَةُ النَّازِعَاتِ

وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًۭا1

By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;

وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًۭا2

By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed);

وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًۭا3

And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy),

فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًۭا4

Then press forward as in a race,

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًۭا5

Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord),

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ6

One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ7

Followed by oft-repeated (commotions):

قُلُوبٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاجِفَةٌ8

Hearts that Day will be in agitation;

أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌۭ9

Cast down will be (their owners') eyes.

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ10

They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state?

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ11

"What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?"

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ12

They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!"

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ13

But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ14

When, behold, they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment).

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ15

Has the story of Moses reached thee?

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى16

Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:-

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ17

"Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds:

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ18

"And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)?-

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ19

"'And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'"

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ20

Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign.

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ21

But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance);

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ22

Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ23

Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation,

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ24

Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ25

But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ26

Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah).

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا27

What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it:

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا28

On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection.

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا29

Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light).

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ30

And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا31

He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا32

And the mountains hath He firmly fixed;-

مَتَٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ33

For use and convenience to you and your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ34

Therefore, when there comes the great, overwhelming (Event),-

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ35

The Day when man shall remember (all) that he strove for,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ36

And Hell-Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see,-

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ37

Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds,

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا38

And had preferred the life of this world,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ39

The Abode will be Hell-Fire;

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ40

And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ41

Their abode will be the Garden.

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا42

They ask thee about the Hour,-'When will be its appointed time?

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ43

Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof?

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ44

With thy Lord in the Limit fixed therefor.

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا45

Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it.

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا46

The Day they see it, (It will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening, or (at most till) the following morn!
