بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرْقًا ١
By those [angels] who extract with violence
وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشْطًا ٢
And [by] those who remove with ease
وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبْحًا ٣
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبْقًا ٤
And those who race each other in a race
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٲتِ أَمْرًا ٥
And those who arrange [each] matter,
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ٦
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ٧
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ ٨
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
أَبْصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌ ٩
Their eyes humbled.
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ ١٠
They are [presently] saying, ""Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًا نَّخِرَةً ١١
Even if we should be decayed bones?
قَالُواْ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ ١٢
They say, ""That, then, would be a losing return.""
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٲحِدَةٌ ١٣
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ١٤
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
هَلْ أَتَـٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ١٥
Has there reached you the story of Moses? -
إِذْ نَادَٮٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ١٦
When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ١٧
""Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ١٨
And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ ١٩
And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'""
فَأَرَٮٰهُ ٱلْأَيَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ٢٠
And he showed him the greatest sign,
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ٢١
But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ٢٢
Then he turned his back, striving.
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ٢٣
And he gathered [his people] and called out
فَقَالَ أَنَا۟ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ٢٤
And said, ""I am your most exalted lord.""
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْأَخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ٢٥
So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].
إِنَّ فِى ذَٲلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ٢٦
Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُۚ بَنَـٰهَا ٢٧
Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّٮٰهَا ٢٨
He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَـٰهَا ٢٩
And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٲلِكَ دَحَـٰهَآ ٣٠
And after that He spread the earth.
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَـٰهَا ٣١
He extracted from it its water and its pasture,
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَـٰهَا ٣٢
And the mountains He set firmly
مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ ٣٣
As provision for you and your grazing livestock.
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ٣٤
But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ٣٥
The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ٣٦
And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ٣٧
So as for he who transgressed
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٲةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ٣٨
And preferred the life of the world,
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ٣٩
Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ ٤٠
But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ٤١
Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.
يَسْــَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَـٰهَا ٤٢
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَٮٰهَآ ٤٣
In what [position] are you that you should mention it?
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَـٰهَآ ٤٤
To your Lord is its finality.
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَـٰهَا ٤٥
You are only a warner for those who fear it.
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَـٰهَا ٤٦
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.
