79:1
وَٱلنَّـٰزِعَـٰتِ غَرْقًۭا ١

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



79:2
وَٱلنَّـٰشِطَـٰتِ نَشْطًۭا ٢

and those pulling out ˹good souls˺ gently,



79:3
وَٱلسَّـٰبِحَـٰتِ سَبْحًۭا ٣

and those gliding ˹through heavens˺ swiftly,



79:4
فَٱلسَّـٰبِقَـٰتِ سَبْقًۭا ٤

and those taking the lead vigorously,



79:5
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًۭا ٥

and those conducting affairs ˹obediently˺!



79:6
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ٦

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



79:7
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ ٧

followed by a second Blast.



79:8
قُلُوبٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاجِفَةٌ ٨

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



79:9
أَبْصَـٰرُهَا خَـٰشِعَةٌۭ ٩

with their eyes downcast.



79:10
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ ١٠

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



79:11
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ ١١

even after we have been reduced to decayed bones?”



79:12
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ ١٢

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



79:13
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ ١٣

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



79:14
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ ١٤

and at once they will be above ground.



79:15
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ ١٥

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



79:16
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ١٦

His Lord called him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwa,



79:17
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ١٧

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



79:18
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ١٨

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



79:19
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ ١٩

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



79:20
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ٢٠

Then Moses showed him the great sign,



79:21
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ ٢١

but he denied and disobeyed ˹Allah˺,



79:22
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ ٢٢

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



79:23
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ ٢٣

Then he summoned ˹his people˺ and called out,



79:24
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ ٢٤

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



79:25
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ ٢٥

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



79:26
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ ٢٦

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



79:27
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا ٢٧

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



79:28
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ٢٨

raising it high and forming it flawlessly.



79:29
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ٢٩

He dimmed its night, and brought forth its daylight.



79:30
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ ٣٠

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



79:31
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا ٣١

bringing forth its water and pastures



79:32
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا ٣٢

and setting the mountains firmly ˹upon it˺—



79:33
مَتَـٰعًۭا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ ٣٣

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



79:34
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ ٣٤

But, when the Supreme Disaster comes to pass—



79:35
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ٣٥

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



79:36
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ٣٦

and the Hellfire will be displayed for all to see—



79:37
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ٣٧

then as for those who transgressed



79:38
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ٣٨

and preferred the ˹fleeting˺ life of this world,



79:39
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ٣٩

the Hellfire will certainly be ˹their˺ home.



79:40
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ ٤٠

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



79:41
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ ٤١

Paradise will certainly be ˹their˺ home.



79:42
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا ٤٢

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



79:43
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ ٤٣

But it is not for you to tell its time.



79:44
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ٤٤

That knowledge rests with your Lord ˹alone˺.



79:45
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا ٤٥

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



79:46
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا ٤٦

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.
