# Translation Ayah
1 By those (angels) that pluck out the soul from depths, وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا
2 and gently take it away; وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا
3 and by those that speedily glide along (the cosmos), وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا
4 and vie with the others (in carrying out their Lord's behests); فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا
5 and then manage the affairs of the Universe (according to their Lord's commands). فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا
6 The Day when the quaking will cause a violent convulsion, يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ
7 and will be followed by another quaking. تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ
8 On that Day some hearts shall tremble (with fright), قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
9 and their eyes shall be downcast with dread. أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ
10 They say: “Shall we indeed be restored to life, يَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ
11 even after we have been reduced to bones, hollow and rotten?” أَئِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً
12 They say: “That will then be a return with a great loss!” قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
13 Surely they will need no more than a single stern blast, فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ
14 and lo, they will all be in the open plain. فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ
15 Has Moses' story reached you? هَلْ أتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَى
16 When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa, إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
17 and directed him: “Go to Pharaoh, he has rebelled, اذْهَبْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَى
18 and say to him: 'Are you willing to be purified, فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَى أَن تَزَكَّى
19 that I may direct you to your Lord and then you hold Him in awe?'” وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَى
20 Then Moses (went to Pharaoh and) showed him the Great Sign; فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَى
21 but he denied it as false and disobeyed, فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَى
22 and then he turned back to have recourse to his craftiness, ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَى
23 and gathered his people and declared: فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَى
24 “I am the supreme lord of you all.” فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَى
25 Thereupon Allah seized him for the chastisement of the World to Come as well as of the present. فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَى
26 Surely there is a great lesson in it for whoever would fear (Allah). إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَى
27 Is it harder to create you or the heaven? But Allah built it, أَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاء بَنَاهَا
28 and raised its vault high and proportioned it; رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا
29 and covered its night with darkness and brought forth from it its day; وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا
30 and thereafter spread out the earth, وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ دَحَاهَا
31 and brought out of it its water and its pasture, أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا
32 and firmly fixed in it mountains; وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا
33 all this as provision for you and your cattle. مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ
34 But when the great calamity will come about فَإِذَا جَاءتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَى
35 on the Day when man will recall all his strivings, يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَى
36 and Hell will be brought in sight for anyone to see: وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَى
37 then he who transgressed فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَى
38 and preferred the life of this world, وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
39 most surely his abode shall be Hell. فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى
40 But he who feared to stand before his Lord, and restrained himself from evil desires, وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى
41 most surely his abode shall be Paradise. فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى
42 They ask you about the Hour: “When will it be?” يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا
43 What concern do you have to speak about that? فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا
44 Its knowledge rests with your Lord. إِلَى رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا
45 You are only a warner to him who has a fear of it. إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا
46 On the Day they see it, they will feel as though they had stayed (in the grave) no more than one evening or one morning. كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا
