النازعات

Makki · 46 ayahs

وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرْقًا

79:1 By those who wrench out violently,

وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشْطًا

79:2 and those who draw out gently,

وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبْحًا

79:3 and those who glide along,

فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبْقًا

79:4 then race ahead,

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا

79:5 then manage the matter.

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ

79:6 On the Day the great quake will shake [the first blast],

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ

79:7 and the next will follow it [the second].

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ

79:8 Hearts that Day will be trembling,

أَبْصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌ

79:9 their eyes humbled.

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ

79:10 They say, “Will we really be brought back as we were?

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًا نَّخِرَةً

79:11 Even when we have become decayed bones?”

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ

79:12 They say, “Then that would be a losing return.”

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ

79:13 It will be just one shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ

79:14 and suddenly they will be on the open plain.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ

79:15 Has the story of Moses reached you?

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

79:16 When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

79:17 Go to Pharaoh. He has overstepped all bounds.

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ

79:18 Say, ‘Would you be willing to purify yourself,

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ

79:19 and let me guide you to your Lord, so you would fear Him?’”

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

79:20 Then he showed him the great sign.

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ

79:21 But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ

79:22 Then he turned away, striving hard,

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ

79:23 and gathered [his people] and called out,

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

79:24 saying, “I am your highest lord.”

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ

79:25 So Allah [God] seized him with an exemplary punishment for the last [claim] and the first.

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ

79:26 In that there is a lesson for anyone who fears.

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا

79:27 Are you harder to create, or the sky? He built it,

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا

79:28 raised its canopy, and shaped it evenly.

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا

79:29 He darkened its night and brought out its morning light.

وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ

79:30 And after that, He spread out the earth.

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا

79:31 From it He brought out its water and its pasture,

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا

79:32 and He anchored the mountains,

مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ

79:33 as provision for you and for your livestock.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

79:34 But when the Great Overwhelming Calamity comes,

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ

79:35 the Day when a person remembers what he worked for,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ

79:36 and Hellfire is brought into full view for whoever can see,

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ

79:37 Then as for the one who crossed all bounds,

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

79:38 and preferred the life of this world,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ

79:39 Hellfire will be the home.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ

79:40 But as for the one who feared standing before his Lord and held himself back from desire,

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ

79:41 Paradise will be the home.

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا

79:42 They [the deniers in Mecca] ask you about the Hour: “When will it arrive?”

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ

79:43 What can you say about its time?

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ

79:44 Its final knowledge rests with your Lord.

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا

79:45 You are only a warner to whoever fears it.

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا

79:46 On the Day they see that Hour, it will be as if they had stayed only one evening or its morning.
