079. Those who drag forth – An-Naazi’aat

in
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ﴿٠﴾
وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا ﴿١﴾
I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا ﴿٢﴾
And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا ﴿٣﴾
And by those who float in space,
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا ﴿٤﴾
Then those who are foremost going ahead,
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا ﴿٥﴾
Then those who regulate the affair.
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ﴿٦﴾
The day on which the quaking one shall quake,
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ﴿٧﴾
What must happen afterwards shall follow it.
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ ﴿٨﴾
Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌ ﴿٩﴾
Their eyes cast down.
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ ﴿١٠﴾
They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًا نَّخِرَةً ﴿١١﴾
What! when we are rotten bones?
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ ﴿١٢﴾
They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ ﴿١٣﴾
But it shall be only a single cry,
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ﴿١٤﴾
When lo! they shall be wakeful.
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ﴿١٥﴾
Has not there come to you the story of Musa?
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ﴿١٦﴾
When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ﴿١٧﴾
Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٨﴾
Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ ﴿١٩﴾
And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ﴿٢٠﴾
So he showed him the mighty sign.
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ﴿٢١﴾
But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ﴿٢٢﴾
Then he went back hastily.
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ﴿٢٣﴾
Then he gathered (men) and called out.
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ﴿٢٤﴾
Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ﴿٢٥﴾
So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ﴿٢٦﴾
Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بَنَىٰهَا ﴿٢٧﴾
Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ﴿٢٨﴾
He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ﴿٢٩﴾
And He made dark its night and brought out its light.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ﴿٣٠﴾
And the earth, He expanded it after that.
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا ﴿٣١﴾
He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا ﴿٣٢﴾
And the mountains, He made them firm,
مَتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ ﴿٣٣﴾
A provision for you and for your cattle.
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ﴿٣٤﴾
But when the great predominating calamity comes;
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ﴿٣٥﴾
The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ﴿٣٦﴾
And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ﴿٣٧﴾
Then as for him who is inordinate,
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ﴿٣٨﴾
And prefers the life of this world,
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ﴿٣٩﴾
Then surely the hell, that is the abode.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ ﴿٤٠﴾
And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ﴿٤١﴾
Then surely the garden– that is the abode.
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا ﴿٤٢﴾
They ask you about the hour, when it will come.
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ ﴿٤٣﴾
About what! You are one to remind of it.
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ﴿٤٤﴾
To your Lord is the goal of it.
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا ﴿٤٥﴾
You are only a warner to him who would fear it.
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا ﴿٤٦﴾
On the day that they see it, it will be as though they had not tarried but the latter part of a day or the early part of it.
