بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

  1. 1

    وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا

    Pickthall

    By those who drag forth to destruction,

  2. 2

    وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا

    Pickthall

    By the meteors rushing,

  3. 3

    وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا

    Pickthall

    By the lone stars floating,

  4. 4

    فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا

    Pickthall

    By the angels hastening,

  5. 5

    فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا

    Pickthall

    And those who govern the event,

  6. 6

    يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ

    Pickthall

    On the day when the first trump resoundeth.

  7. 7

    تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ

    Pickthall

    And the second followeth it,

  8. 8

    قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ

    Pickthall

    On that day hearts beat painfully

  9. 9

    أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌ

    Pickthall

    While eyes are downcast

  10. 10

    يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ

    Pickthall

    (Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state

  11. 11

    أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًا نَّخِرَةً

    Pickthall

    Even after we are crumbled bones?

  12. 12

    قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ

    Pickthall

    They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.

  13. 13

    فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ

    Pickthall

    Surely it will need but one shout,

  14. 14

    فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ

    Pickthall

    And lo! they will be awakened.

  15. 15

    هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ

    Pickthall

    Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses?

  16. 16

    إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

    Pickthall

    How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,

  17. 17

    ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

    Pickthall

    (Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled -

  18. 18

    فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ

    Pickthall

    And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace)?

  19. 19

    وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ

    Pickthall

    Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him).

  20. 20

    فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

    Pickthall

    And he showed him the tremendous token.

  21. 21

    فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ

    Pickthall

    But he denied and disobeyed,

  22. 22

    ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ

    Pickthall

    Then turned he away in haste,

  23. 23

    فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ

    Pickthall

    Then gathered he and summoned

  24. 24

    فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

    Pickthall

    And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest."

  25. 25

    فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ

    Pickthall

    So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.

  26. 26

    إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ

    Pickthall

    Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.

  27. 27

    ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بَنَىٰهَا

    Pickthall

    Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built?

  28. 28

    رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا

    Pickthall

    He raised the height thereof and ordered it;

  29. 29

    وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا

    Pickthall

    And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.

  30. 30

    وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ

    Pickthall

    And after that He spread the earth,

  31. 31

    أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا

    Pickthall

    And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,

  32. 32

    وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا

    Pickthall

    And He made fast the hills,

  33. 33

    مَتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ

    Pickthall

    A provision for you and for your cattle.

  34. 34

    فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

    Pickthall

    But when the great disaster cometh,

  35. 35

    يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ

    Pickthall

    The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,

  36. 36

    وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ

    Pickthall

    And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,

  37. 37

    فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ

    Pickthall

    Then, as for him who rebelled

  38. 38

    وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

    Pickthall

    And chose the life of the world,

  39. 39

    فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ

    Pickthall

    Lo! hell will be his home.

  40. 40

    وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ

    Pickthall

    But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,

  41. 41

    فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ

    Pickthall

    Lo! the Garden will be his home.

  42. 42

    يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا

    Pickthall

    They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port?

  43. 43

    فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ

    Pickthall

    Why (ask they)? What hast thou to tell thereof?

  44. 44

    إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ

    Pickthall

    Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof.

  45. 45

    إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا

    Pickthall

    Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.

  46. 46

    كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا

    Pickthall

    On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.
