An-Nāzi‘āt

Umurongo: 1

وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرۡقٗا

By those who pull out [evil souls]^[1] harshly,

[1] Of the disbelievers.

Umurongo: 2

وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشۡطٗا

and by those who draw out [good souls]^[2] gently,

[2] Of the believers.

Umurongo: 3

وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبۡحٗا

and by those who glide swiftly^[3],

[3] i.e., angels glide swiftly through the heavens and earth with Allah’s command.

Umurongo: 4

فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبۡقٗا

and those who overtake one another as in a race^[4],

[4] To execute Allah's commands.

Umurongo: 5

فَٱلۡمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمۡرٗا

and those who carry out the command [of Allah],

Umurongo: 6

يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ

on the Day when the earth convulses [by the first Blast],

Umurongo: 7

تَتۡبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ

followed by the second Blast,

Umurongo: 8

قُلُوبٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ وَاجِفَةٌ

hearts^[5] will be pounding on that Day,

[5] Of those who denied the Resurrection.

Umurongo: 9

أَبۡصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٞ

and their eyes^[6] will be downcast.

[6] Of the disbelievers.

Umurongo: 10

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرۡدُودُونَ فِي ٱلۡحَافِرَةِ

They say, “Will we be brought back to life,

Umurongo: 11

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمٗا نَّخِرَةٗ

after we have turned into decayed bones^[7]?”

[7] They would say this in ridicule of the warning.

Umurongo: 12

قَالُواْ تِلۡكَ إِذٗا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٞ

They say, “Then that would surely be a losing return^[8]!”

[8] To one another.

Umurongo: 13

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجۡرَةٞ وَٰحِدَةٞ

It will only be a single Blast,

Umurongo: 14

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ

then they will immediately be above the ground.

Umurongo: 15

هَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ

Has there come to you the story of Moses,

Umurongo: 16

إِذۡ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

when his Lord called out to him at the sacred valley of Tuwa?

Umurongo: 17

ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

[Saying,] “Go to Pharaoh, for he has transgressed all bounds”.

Umurongo: 18

فَقُلۡ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ

And say: ‘Are you willing to be purified,

Umurongo: 19

وَأَهۡدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشَىٰ

and I will guide you to your Lord so that you may fear Him?’”

Umurongo: 20

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلۡأٓيَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ

Then Moses showed him the greatest sign^[9].

[9] i.e., the miracle of the staff turning into a snake. See 20:17-23.

Umurongo: 21

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ

But Pharaoh denied it and disobeyed.

Umurongo: 22

ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ يَسۡعَىٰ

Then he turned back striving to plot.

Umurongo: 23

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ

He gathered [his people] and proclaimed,

Umurongo: 24

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ

saying, “I am your lord, the most high.”

Umurongo: 25

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ

So Allah seized him for an exemplary punishment in this life and in the Hereafter^[10].

[10] Or for his claim of being the greatest god and for his previous oppression of the Children of Israel.

Umurongo: 26

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةٗ لِّمَن يَخۡشَىٰٓ

Indeed, there is a lesson in this for those who fear Allah.

Umurongo: 27

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُۚ بَنَىٰهَا

Are you more difficult to create or the heaven that He built?

Umurongo: 28

رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا

He raised its vault high and proportioned it,

Umurongo: 29

وَأَغۡطَشَ لَيۡلَهَا وَأَخۡرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا

and darkened its night and brought forth its daylight.

Umurongo: 30

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ

And thereafter He spread out the earth,

Umurongo: 31

أَخۡرَجَ مِنۡهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرۡعَىٰهَا

brought forth from it its water and its pasture,

Umurongo: 32

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَرۡسَىٰهَا

and set the mountains firmly,

Umurongo: 33

مَتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ

as a provision for you and your grazing livestock.

Umurongo: 34

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ

But when the Supreme Calamity comes^[11],

[11] i.e., the second Blast which marks the Day of judgment.

Umurongo: 35

يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ

on that Day man will remember all what he did,

Umurongo: 36

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ

and the Blazing Fire will be exposed for all to see.

Umurongo: 37

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ

As for those who transgressed,

Umurongo: 38

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا

and preferred the life of this world,

Umurongo: 39

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ

the Blazing Fire will be their abode.

Umurongo: 40

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفۡسَ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ

But those who feared standing before their Lord and restrained themselves from evil desires,

Umurongo: 41

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ

Paradise will surely be their abode.

Umurongo: 42

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَا

They ask you concerning the Hour, “When will it be^[12]?”

[12] Lit., "established."

Umurongo: 43

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكۡرَىٰهَآ

How could you possibly mention that?

Umurongo: 44

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ

Its knowledge rests only with your Lord^[13].

[13] i.e., its end and termination. Its ultimate knowledge belongs to Allah alone.

Umurongo: 45

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰهَا

You are only a warner for those who fear it.

Umurongo: 46

كَأَنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَهَا لَمۡ يَلۡبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوۡ ضُحَىٰهَا

On the Day when they see it^[14], it will be as if they had remained [in this world] no more than an evening or a morning.

[14] i.e., the Hour.
