Surah An-Naazi'aat

وَالنّٰزِعٰتِ غَرْقًا ۝١ۙ

1By those [angels] who wrest [the soul] violently,

وَّالنّٰشِطٰتِ نَشْطًا ۝٢ۙ

2by those who draw [it] out gently,

وَّالسّٰبِحٰتِ سَبْحًا ۝٣ۙ

3by those who swim smoothly,

فَالسّٰبِقٰتِ سَبْقًا ۝٤ۙ

4by those who, racing, take the lead,

فَالْمُدَبِّرٰتِ اَمْرًا ۝٥ۘ

5by those who direct the affairs [of creatures]:

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ ۝٦ۙ

6the day when the Quaker quakes

تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ ۝٧ؕ

7and is followed by the Successor,

قُلُوْبٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّاجِفَةٌ ۝٨ۙ

8hearts will be trembling on that day,

اَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ ۝٩ۘ

9bearing a humbled look.

يَقُوْلُوْنَ ءَاِنَّا لَمَرْدُوْدُوْنَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ ۝١٠ؕ

10They will say, ‘Are we being returned to our earlier state?

ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً ۝١١ؕ

11What, even after we have been decayed bones?!’

قَالُوْا تِلْكَ اِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ ۝١٢ۘ

12They will say, ‘This is, then, a ruinous return!’

فَاِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ ۝١٣ۙ

13Yet it will be only a single shout,

فَاِذَا هُمْ بِالسَّاهِرَةِ ۝١٤ؕ

14and behold, they will be awake.

هَلْ اَتٰىكَ حَدِيْثُ مُوْسٰي ۝١٥ۘ

15Did you receive the story of Moses,

اِذْ نَادٰىهُ رَبُّهٗ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًي ۝١٦ۚ

16when his Lord called out to him in the holy valley of Tuwa?

اِذْهَبْ اِلٰي فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّهٗ طَغٰي ۝١٧ؗۖ

17[And said,] ‘Go to Pharaoh, for indeed he has rebelled,

فَقُلْ هَلْ لَّكَ اِلٰٓي اَنْ تَزَكّٰي ۝١٨ۙ

18and say, ‘‘Would you purify yourself?

وَاَهْدِيَكَ اِلٰي رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشٰي ۝١٩ۚ

19I will guide you to your Lord, that you may fear [Him]?’’ ’

فَاَرٰىهُ الْاٰيَةَ الْكُبْرٰي ۝٢٠ؗۖ

20Then he showed him the greatest sign.

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصٰي ۝٢١ؗۖ

21But he denied, and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ اَدْبَرَ يَسْعٰي ۝٢٢ؗۖ

22Then he turned back, walking swiftly,

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادٰي ۝٢٣ؗۖ

23and gathered [the people] and proclaimed,

فَقَالَ اَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْاَعْلٰي ۝٢٤ؗۖ

24saying, ‘I am your exalted lord!’

فَاَخَذَهُ اللّٰهُ نَكَالَ الْاٰخِرَةِ وَالْاُوْلٰي ۝٢٥ؕ

25So Allah seized him with the punishment of this life and the Hereafter.

اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَنْ يَّخْشٰي ۝٢٦ؕࣖ

26There is indeed a moral in that for someone who fears!

ءَاَنْتُمْ اَشَدُّ خَلْقًا اَمِ السَّمَا࢜ءُؕ بَنٰىهَا ۝٢٧ۙ

27Is your creation more prodigious or that of the heaven He has built?

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوّٰىهَا ۝٢٨ۙ

28He raised its vault and fashioned it,

وَاَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَاَخْرَجَ ضُحٰىهَا ۝٢٩ࣕ

29and darkened its night, and brought forth its forenoon.

وَالْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ دَحٰىهَا ۝٣٠ؕ

30Thereafter He spread out the earth,

اَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَا࢜ءَهَا وَمَرْعٰىهَا ۝٣١ࣕ

31brought forth from it its water and pastures,

وَالْجِبَالَ اَرْسٰىهَا ۝٣٢ۙ

32setting firm the mountains,

مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِاَنْعَامِكُمْ ۝٣٣ؕ

33as a [place of] sustenance for you and your livestock.

فَاِذَا جَا࢜ءَتِ الطَّا࢜مَّةُ الْكُبْرٰي ۝٣٤ؗۖ

34When the Greatest Catastrophe befalls

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْاِنْسَانُ مَا سَعٰي ۝٣٥ۙ

35—the day when man will remember his endeavours

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيْمُ لِمَنْ يَّرٰي ۝٣٦

36and hell is brought into view for those who can see—

فَاَمَّا مَنْ طَغٰي ۝٣٧ۙ

37as for him who has been rebellious

وَاٰثَرَ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا ۝٣٨ۙ

38and preferred the life of this world,

فَاِنَّ الْجَحِيْمَ هِيَ الْمَاْوٰي ۝٣٩ؕ

39his refuge will indeed be hell.

وَاَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهٖ وَنَهَي النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوٰي ۝٤٠ۙ

40But as for him who is awed to stand before his Lord and restrains his soul from [following] desires,

فَاِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَاْوٰي ۝٤١ؕ

41his refuge will indeed be paradise.

يَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَيَّانَ مُرْسٰىهَا ۝٤٢ؕ

42They ask you concerning the Hour, “When will it set in,

فِيْمَ اَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرٰىهَا ۝٤٣ؕ

43considering your frequent mention of it?”

اِلٰي رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهٰىهَا ۝٤٤ؕ

44Its outcome is with your Lord.

اِنَّمَا͏ٓ اَنْتَ مُنْذِرُ مَنْ يَّخْشٰىهَا ۝٤٥ؕ

45You are only a warner for those who are afraid it.

كَاَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوْٓا اِلَّا عَشِيَّةً اَوْ ضُحٰىهَا ۝٤٦ࣖ

46The day they see it, it shall be as if they had not stayed [in the world] except for an evening or forenoon.
