An-Nazi'aat
/ The Draggers |
|
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful. |
1 |
By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence; |
2 |
By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed); |
3 |
And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy) |
4 |
Then press forward as in a race |
5 |
Then arrange to do (the commands of their Lord) |
6 |
One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion |
7 |
Followed by oft-repeated (commotions): |
8 |
Hearts that Day will be in agitation; |
9 |
Cast down will be (their owners') eyes. |
10 |
They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state?" |
11 |
"What! When we shall have become rotten bones?" |
12 |
They say: "It would in that case be a return with loss!" |
13 |
But verily it will be but a single (compelling) Cry. |
14 |
When behold they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment). |
15 |
Has the story of Moses reached thee? |
16 |
Behold thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley to Tuwa |
17 |
"Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds. |
18 |
"And say to him `Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)? |
19 |
"`And that I guide thee to thy Lord so thou shouldst fear Him?' " |
20 |
Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign. |
21 |
But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance); |
22 |
Further he turned his back striving hard (against Allah). |
23 |
Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation |
24 |
Saying "I am your Lord Most High." |
25 |
But Allah did punish him (and made an) example of him in the Hereafter as in this life. |
26 |
Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah): |
27 |
What! are ye the more difficult to create of the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it: |
28 |
On high hath He raised its canopy and He hath given it order and perfection. |
29 |
Its night doth He endow with darkness and its splendor doth He bring out (with light). |
30 |
And the earth moreover; hath He extended (to a wide expanse): |
31 |
He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture; |
32 |
And the mountains hath He firmly fixed |
33 |
For use and convenience to you and your cattle. |
34 |
Therefore when there comes the great overwhelming (Event) |
35 |
The Day when Man shall remember (all) that he strove for |
36 |
And Half-Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see |
37 |
Then for such as had transgressed all bounds |
38 |
And had preferred the life of this world |
39 |
The Abode will be Hell-Fire; |
40 |
And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower Desires |
41 |
Their abode will be the Garden. |
42 |
They ask thee about the Hour `When will be its appointed time?' |
43 |
Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof? |
44 |
With they Lord is the Limit fixed therefor. |
45 |
Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it. |
46 |
The Day they see it (it will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening or (at most till) the following morn! |
