بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
79:1
وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا
By those who pull out [evil souls]¹ harshly,
79:2
وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا
and by those who draw out [good souls]² gently,
79:3
وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا
and by those who glide swiftly³,
79:4
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا
and those who overtake one another as in a race⁴,
79:5
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا
and those who carry out the command [of Allah],
79:6
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
on the Day when the earth convulses [by the first Blast],
79:7
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
followed by the second Blast,
79:8
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
hearts⁵ will be pounding on that Day,
79:9
أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌ
and their eyes⁶ will be downcast.
79:10
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ
They say, “Will we be brought back to life,
79:11
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًا نَّخِرَةً
after we have turned into decayed bones⁷?”
79:12
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
They say, “Then that would surely be a losing return⁸!”
79:13
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ
It will only be a single Blast,
79:14
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
then they will immediately be above the ground.
79:15
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
Has there come to you the story of Moses,
79:16
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
when his Lord called out to him at the sacred valley of Tuwa?
79:17
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
[Saying,] “Go to Pharaoh, for he has transgressed all bounds”.
79:18
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
And say: ‘Are you willing to be purified,
79:19
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
and I will guide you to your Lord so that you may fear Him?’”
79:20
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Then Moses showed him the greatest sign⁹.
79:21
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
But Pharaoh denied it and disobeyed.
79:22
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
Then he turned back striving to plot.
79:23
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
He gathered [his people] and proclaimed,
79:24
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
saying, “I am your lord, the most high.”
79:25
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ
So Allah seized him for an exemplary punishment in this life and in the Hereafter¹⁰.
79:26
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ
Indeed, there is a lesson in this for those who fear Allah.
79:27
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا
Are you more difficult to create or the heaven that He built?
79:28
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا
He raised its vault high and proportioned it,
79:29
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا
and darkened its night and brought forth its daylight.
79:30
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ
And thereafter He spread out the earth,
79:31
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا
brought forth from it its water and its pasture,
79:32
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا
and set the mountains firmly,
79:33
مَتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
as a provision for you and your grazing livestock.
79:34
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
But when the Supreme Calamity comes¹¹,
79:35
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ
on that Day man will remember all what he did,
79:36
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
and the Blazing Fire will be exposed for all to see.
79:37
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
As for those who transgressed,
79:38
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
and preferred the life of this world,
79:39
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
the Blazing Fire will be their abode.
79:40
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ
But those who feared standing before their Lord and restrained themselves from evil desires,
79:41
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
Paradise will surely be their abode.
79:42
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا
They ask you concerning the Hour, “When will it be¹²?”
79:43
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ
How could you possibly mention that?
79:44
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ
Its knowledge rests only with your Lord¹³.
79:45
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا
You are only a warner for those who fear it.
79:46
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا
On the Day when they see it¹⁴, it will be as if they had remained [in this world] no more than an evening or a morning.
