AN NAAZI'AAT (MALAIKAT-MALAIKAT YANG MENCABUT)

وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا

By those [angels] who extract with violence

وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا

And [by] those who remove with ease

وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا

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

فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا

And those who race each other in a race

فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا

And those who arrange [each] matter,

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ

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

تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ

There will follow it the subsequent [one].

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ

Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ

Their eyes humbled.

يَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ

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

أَئِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً

Even if we should be decayed bones?

قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ

They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ

Indeed, it will be but one shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ

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

هَلْ أتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَى

Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

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

اذْهَبْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَى

"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَى أَن تَزَكَّى

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

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَى

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

فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَى

And he showed him the greatest sign,
