79:1

وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا

By those ˹angels˺ stripping out ˹evil souls˺ harshly,

79:2

وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا

and those pulling out ˹good souls˺ gently,

79:3

وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا

and those gliding ˹through heavens˺ swiftly,

79:4

فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا

and those taking the lead vigorously,

79:5

فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا

and those conducting affairs ˹obediently˺!

79:6

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ

˹Consider˺ the Day ˹when˺ the quaking Blast will come to pass,¹

79:7

تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ

followed by a second Blast.

79:8

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ

˹The deniers’˺ hearts on that Day will be trembling ˹in horror˺,

79:9

أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ

with their eyes downcast.

79:10

يَقُولُونَ أَإِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ

˹But now˺ they ask ˹mockingly˺, “Will we really be restored to our former state,

79:11

أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً

even after we have been reduced to decayed bones?”

79:12

قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ

Adding, “Then such a return would be a ˹total˺ loss ˹for us˺!”

79:13

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ

But indeed, it will take only one ˹mighty˺ Blast,

79:14

فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ

and at once they will be above ground.

79:15

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰ

Has the story of Moses reached you ˹O Prophet˺?

79:16

إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

His Lord called him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwa,

79:17

اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ

˹commanding,˺ “Go to Pharaoh, for he has truly transgressed ˹all bounds˺.

79:18

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ

And say, ‘Would you ˹be willing to˺ purify yourself,

79:19

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ

and let me guide you to your Lord so that you will be in awe ˹of Him˺?’”

79:20

فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ

Then Moses showed him the great sign,¹

79:21

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ

but he denied and disobeyed ˹Allah˺,

79:22

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ

then turned his back, striving ˹against the truth˺.

79:23

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ

Then he summoned ˹his people˺ and called out,

79:24

فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ

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

79:25

فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰ

So Allah overtook him, making him an example in this life and the next.

79:26

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ

Surely in this is a lesson for whoever stands in awe of ˹Allah˺.

79:27

أَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ ۚ بَنَاهَا

Which is harder to create: you or the sky?¹ He built it,

79:28

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا

raising it high and forming it flawlessly.

79:29

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا

He dimmed its night, and brought forth its daylight.

79:30

وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَاهَا

As for the earth, He spread it out as well,¹

79:31

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا

bringing forth its water and pastures

79:32

وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا

and setting the mountains firmly ˹upon it˺—

79:33

مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ

all as ˹a means of˺ sustenance for you and your animals.

79:34

فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَىٰ

But, when the Supreme Disaster¹ comes to pass—

79:35

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَىٰ

the Day every person will remember all ˹their˺ striving,

79:36

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ

and the Hellfire will be displayed for all to see—

79:37

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ

then as for those who transgressed

79:38

وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

and preferred the ˹fleeting˺ life of this world,

79:39

فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ

the Hellfire will certainly be ˹their˺ home.

79:40

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ

And as for those who were in awe of standing before their Lord and restrained themselves from ˹evil˺ desires,

79:41

فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ

Paradise will certainly be ˹their˺ home.

79:42

يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا

They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ regarding the Hour, “When will it be?”

79:43

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا

But it is not for you to tell its time.¹

79:44

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا

That knowledge rests with your Lord ˹alone˺.

79:45

إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا

Your duty is only to warn whoever is in awe of it.

79:46

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا

On the Day they see it, it will be as if they had stayed ˹in the world˺ no more than one evening or its morning.
