Sourate An-Nazi'at (79) original (rasm)

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. By those who tear away violently, those who release gently, those who glide swiftly, those who race ahead, those who govern the affair — the Day the first quaking quakes, followed by the one that comes after,i 7

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والنزعت غرقا والنشطت نشطا والسبحت سبحا فالسبقت سبقا فالمدبرت امرا يوم ترجف الراجفه تتبعها الرادفه

cores, that Day, will tremble, their eyes humbled. 9

قلوب يوميذ واجفه ابصرها خشعه

They say, "Are we indeed to be returned to our former state, once we have become decayed bones?" 11

They say, "That, then, would be a losing return!" Yet it will be but a single blast, and there they are, upon the surface of the earth. 14

قالوا تلك اذا كره خاسره فانما هي زجره وحده فاذا هم بالساهره

Has the story of Moussa reached you? When his Guardian called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,i 16

هل اتيك حديث موسي اذ ناديه ربه بالواد المقدس طوي

"Go to Fir'awn; indeed, he has transgressed all bounds. And say to him, 'Would you [be willing] to purify yourself, that I may guide you to your Guardian, so that you may hold Him in awe?'"i 19

اذهب الي فرعون انه طغي فقل هل لك الي ان تزكي واهديك الي ربك فتخشي

So he showed him the greatest sign; but he denied and disobeyed. Then he turned his back, striving, and gathered [his people], and called out, and said, "I am your guardian, the most high." So God seized him with the punishment of the last and the first. 25

فاريه الايه الكبري فكذب وعصي ثم ادبر يسعي فحشر فنادي فقال انا ربكم الاعلي فاخذه الله نكال الاخره والاولي

Indeed, in that is a lesson for whoever holds [Him] in awe. 26

ان في ذلك لعبره لمن يخشي

Are you more difficult to create, or is the sky? 27

انتم اشد خلقا ام السما

He built it, raised its vault, and balanced it; and He darkened its night and brought forth its morning light. 29

بنيها رفع سمكها فسويها واغطش ليلها واخرج ضحيها

And the earth, after that, He spread out; He brought forth from it its water and its pasture, and the mountains, He set them firm — as provision for you and your livestock. 33

والارض بعد ذلك دحيها اخرج منها ماها ومرعيها والجبال ارسيها متعا لكم ولانعمكم

Then, when the greatest Overwhelming Event comes — the Day man will remember what he strove for, and the Blaze will be laid open for all to see,i 36

فاذا جات الطامه الكبري يوم يتذكر الانسن ما سعي وبرزت الجحيم لمن يري

as for him who transgressed and preferred the present life, then the Blaze will be his refuge;i 39

فاما من طغي واثر الحيوه الدنيا فان الجحيم هي الماوي

but as for him who feared standing before his Guardian, and turned the Self away from following emotion over reason, then the Garden will be his refuge. 41

واما من خاف مقام ربه ونهي النفس عن الهوي فان الجنه هي الماوي

They ask you about the Hour, when it shall anchor. 42

يسلونك عن الساعه ايان مرسيها

What have you to do with mentioning it? 43

فيم انت من ذكريها

To your Guardian is its final end. 44

الي ربك منتهيها

You are only the warner of whoever holds it in awe. 45

انما انت منذر من يخشيها

It will seem to them, the Day they see it, as though they had remained no more than an evening, or its morning. 46

كانهم يوم يرونها لم يلبثوا الا عشيه او ضحيها
