An-Nazi'at

¹By those [angels] who extract with violence[1833]

²And [by] those who remove with ease[1834]

³And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming[1835]

⁴And those who race each other in a race[1836]

⁵And those who arrange [each] matter,[1837]

⁶On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

⁷There will follow it the subsequent [one].

⁸Hearts,[1838] that Day, will tremble,

⁹Their eyes[1839] humbled.

¹⁰They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

¹¹Even if we should be decayed bones?"[1840]

¹²They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."[1841]

¹³Indeed, it will be but one shout,

¹⁴And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

¹⁵Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

¹⁶When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwā,

¹⁷"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

¹⁸And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

¹⁹And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"

²⁰And he showed him the greatest sign,[1842]

²¹But he [i.e., Pharaoh] denied and disobeyed.

²²Then he turned his back, striving [i.e., plotting].[1843]

²³And he gathered [his people] and called out

²⁴And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

²⁵So Allāh seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].[1844].

²⁶Indeed in that is a lesson [i.e., warning] for whoever would fear [Allāh].

²⁷Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? He [i.e., Allāh] constructed it.

²⁸He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

²⁹And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.[1845]

³⁰And after that He spread the earth.

³¹He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

³²And the mountains He set firmly

³³As enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.

³⁴But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity[1846] -

³⁵The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

³⁶And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

³⁷So as for he who transgressed

³⁸And preferred the life of the world,

³⁹Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

⁴⁰But as for he who feared the position of his Lord[1847] and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

⁴¹Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

⁴²They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?[1848]

⁴³In what [position] are you that you should mention it?[1849]

⁴⁴To your Lord is its finality.[1850]

⁴⁵You are only a warner for those who fear it.

⁴⁶It will be, on the Day they see it,[1851] as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
