An-Naazi'aat
Those who drag forth
النازعات
وَالنّٰزِعٰتِ غَرۡقًاۙ
WaalnnaziAAati gharqan
By those [angels] who extract with violence
وَّالنّٰشِطٰتِ نَشۡطًاۙ
Waalnnashitati nashtan
And [by] those who remove with ease
وَّالسّٰبِحٰتِ سَبۡحًاۙ
Waalssabihati sabhan
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
فَالسّٰبِقٰتِ سَبۡقًاۙ
Faalssabiqati sabqan
And those who race each other in a race
فَالۡمُدَبِّرٰتِ اَمۡرًاۘ
Faalmudabbirati amran
And those who arrange [each] matter
يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُۙ
Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation]
تَتۡبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُؕ
TatbaAAuha alrradifatu
There will follow it the subsequent [one]
قُلُوۡبٌ يَّوۡمَئِذٍ وَّاجِفَةٌۙ
Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun
Hearts, that Day, will tremble
اَبۡصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌۘ
Absaruha khashiAAatun
Their eyes humbled
يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ ءَاِنَّا لَمَرۡدُوۡدُوۡنَ فِي الۡحَافِرَةِؕ
Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati
They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]
ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةًؕ
Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan
Even if we should be decayed bones
قَالُوۡا تِلۡكَ اِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۘ
Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return
فَاِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌۙ
Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun
Indeed, it will be but one shout
فَاِذَا هُمۡ بِالسَّاهِرَةِؕ
Faitha hum bialssahirati
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface
هَلۡ اَتٰىكَ حَدِيۡثُ مُوۡسٰيۘ
Hal ataka hadeethu moosa
Has there reached you the story of Moses
اِذۡ نَادٰىهُ رَبُّهٗ بِالۡوَادِ الۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوًيۚ
Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan
When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa
اِذۡهَبۡ اِلٰي فِرۡعَوۡنَ اِنَّهٗ طَغٰيؗۖ
Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha
Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed
فَقُلۡ هَلۡ لَّكَ اِلٰ٘ي اَنۡ تَزَكّٰيۙ
Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka
And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself
وَاَهۡدِيَكَ اِلٰي رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشٰيۚ
Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha
And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]
فَاَرٰىهُ الۡاٰيَةَ الۡكُبۡرٰيؗۖ
Faarahu alayata alkubra
And he showed him the greatest sign
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصٰيؗۖ
Fakaththaba waAAasa
But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed
ثُمَّ اَدۡبَرَ يَسۡعٰيؗۖ
Thumma adbara yasAAa
Then he turned his back, striving
فَحَشَرَࣞ فَنَادٰيؗۖ
Fahashara fanada
And he gathered [his people] and called out
فَقَالَ اَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الۡاَعۡلٰيؗۖ
Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla
And said, "I am your most exalted lord
فَاَخَذَهُ اللّٰهُ نَكَالَ الۡاٰخِرَةِ وَالۡاُوۡلٰيؕ
Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola
So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression]
اِنَّ فِيۡ ذٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةً لِّمَنۡ يَّخۡشٰيؕࣖ
Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha
Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah]
ءَاَنۡتُمۡ اَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا اَمِ السَّمَآءُؕ بَنٰىهَاࣞ
Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha
Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it
رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوّٰىهَاۙ
RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha
He raised its ceiling and proportioned it
وَاَغۡطَشَ لَيۡلَهَا وَاَخۡرَجَ ضُحٰىهَاࣕ
Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha
And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness
وَالۡاَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذٰلِكَ دَحٰىهَاؕ
Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha
And after that He spread the earth
اَخۡرَجَ مِنۡهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرۡعٰىهَاࣕ
Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha
He extracted from it its water and its pasture
وَالۡجِبَالَ اَرۡسٰىهَاۙ
Waaljibala arsaha
And the mountains He set firmly
مَتَاعًا لَّكُمۡ وَ لِاَنۡعَامِكُمۡؕ
MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum
As provision for you and your grazing livestock
فَاِذَا جَآءَتِ الطَّآمَّةُ الۡكُبۡرٰيؗۖ
Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra
But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity
يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ مَا سَعٰيۙ
Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa
The Day when man will remember that for which he strove
وَبُرِّزَتِ الۡجَحِيۡمُ لِمَنۡ يَّرٰي
Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara
And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see
فَاَمَّا مَنۡ طَغٰيۙ
Faamma man tagha
So as for he who transgressed
وَاٰثَرَ الۡحَيٰوةَ الدُّنۡيَاۙ
Waathara alhayata alddunya
And preferred the life of the world
فَاِنَّ الۡجَحِيۡمَ هِيَ الۡمَاۡوٰيؕ
Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa
Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge
وَاَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهٖ وَنَهَي النَّفۡسَ عَنِ الۡهَوٰيۙ
Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa
But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination
فَاِنَّ الۡجَنَّةَ هِيَ الۡمَاۡوٰيؕ
Fainna aljannata hiya almawa
Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge
يَسۡـَٔلُوۡنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَيَّانَ مُرۡسٰىهَاؕ
Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival
فِيۡمَ اَنۡتَ مِنۡ ذِكۡرٰىهَاؕ
Feema anta min thikraha
In what [position] are you that you should mention it
اِلٰي رَبِّكَ مُنۡتَهٰىهَاؕ
Ila rabbika muntahaha
To your Lord is its finality
اِنَّمَا٘ اَنۡتَ مُنۡذِرُ مَنۡ يَّخۡشٰىهَاؕ
Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha
You are only a warner for those who fear it
كَاَنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَهَا لَمۡ يَلۡبَثُوۡ٘ا اِلَّا عَشِيَّةً اَوۡ ضُحٰىهَاࣖ
Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
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
