أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed one
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1
وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرْقًۭا ﴿1﴾
79:1
By those ˹angels˺ stripping out ˹evil souls˺ harshly,
2
وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشْطًۭا ﴿2﴾
79:2
and those pulling out ˹good souls˺ gently,
3
وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبْحًۭا ﴿3﴾
79:3
and those gliding ˹through heavens˺ swiftly,
4
فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبْقًۭا ﴿4﴾
79:4
and those taking the lead vigorously,
5
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًۭا ﴿5﴾
79:5
and those conducting affairs ˹obediently˺!
6
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ﴿6﴾
79:6
˹Consider˺ the Day ˹when˺ the quaking Blast will come to pass,1
7
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ﴿7﴾
79:7
followed by a second Blast.
8
قُلُوبٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاجِفَةٌ ﴿8﴾
79:8
˹The deniers’˺ hearts on that Day will be trembling ˹in horror˺,
9
أَبْصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌۭ ﴿9﴾
79:9
with their eyes downcast.
10
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ ﴿10﴾
79:10
˹But now˺ they ask ˹mockingly˺, “Will we really be restored to our former state,
11
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ ﴿11﴾
79:11
even after we have been reduced to decayed bones?”
12
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ ﴿12﴾
79:12
Adding, “Then such a return would be a ˹total˺ loss ˹for us˺!”
13
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ ﴿13﴾
79:13
But indeed, it will take only one ˹mighty˺ Blast,
14
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ﴿14﴾
79:14
and at once they will be above ground.
15
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ﴿15﴾
79:15
Has the story of Moses reached you ˹O Prophet˺?
16
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ﴿16﴾
79:16
His Lord called him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwa,
17
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ﴿17﴾
79:17
˹commanding,˺ “Go to Pharaoh, for he has truly transgressed ˹all bounds˺.
18
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ﴿18﴾
79:18
And say, ‘Would you ˹be willing to˺ purify yourself,
19
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ ﴿19﴾
79:19
and let me guide you to your Lord so that you will be in awe ˹of Him˺?’”
20
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ﴿20﴾
79:20
Then Moses showed him the great sign,1
21
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ﴿21﴾
79:21
but he denied and disobeyed ˹Allah˺,
22
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ﴿22﴾
79:22
then turned his back, striving ˹against the truth˺.
23
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ﴿23﴾
79:23
Then he summoned ˹his people˺ and called out,
24
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ﴿24﴾
79:24
saying, “I am your lord, the most high!”
25
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ﴿25﴾
79:25
So Allah overtook him, making him an example in this life and the next.
26
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ﴿26﴾
79:26
Surely in this is a lesson for whoever stands in awe of ˹Allah˺.
27
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا ﴿27﴾
79:27
Which is harder to create: you or the sky?1 He built it,
28
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ﴿28﴾
79:28
raising it high and forming it flawlessly.
29
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ﴿29﴾
79:29
He dimmed its night, and brought forth its daylight.
30
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ﴿30﴾
79:30
As for the earth, He spread it out as well,1
