Those Who Drag Forth, Soul-snatchers, Those Who Pulled Out — Hamid S Aziz Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Great Commotion

وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا

I swear by (or call to witness) those who tear out to destruction

WaalnnaziAAati gharqan

وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا

And by those rushing

Waalnnashitati nashtan

وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا

And by those who float

Waalssabihati sabhan

فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا

Then press forward as in a race

Faalssabiqati sabqan

فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا

And those who regulate affairs

Faalmudabbirati amran

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ

The day on which the first trump resounds (or that which can quake shall quake)

Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu

تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ

And others follow it

TatbaAAuha alrradifatu

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ

Hearts on that day shall palpitate

Quloobun yawma-ithin wajifatun

أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ

While eyes are cast down

Absaruha khashiAAatun

يَقُولُونَ أَإِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ

They say, "Shall we indeed be restored to our first state

Yaqooloona a-inna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati

أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً

"What! When we are rotten bones?"

A-itha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan

قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ

They said, "That then would be a return, causing loss."

Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ

But it shall be only a single cry

Fa-innama hiya zajratun wahidatun

فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ

When lo! They will be fully awake

Fa-itha hum bialssahirati

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰ

Has not there come to you the story of Moses

Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley of Tuwa

Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ

(Saying,) "Go to Pharaoh, surely he has transgressed beyond bounds."

Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ

Then say, "Have you a desire to purify yourself

Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ

"And I will guide you to your Lord so that you may fear."

Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ

So he showed him the Mighty Sign

Faarahu al-ayata alkubra

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ

But he (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed

Fakaththaba waAAasa

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ

Then turned he away (from Allah) in haste

Thumma adbara yasAAa

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ

Then he gathered (men) and made a proclamation

Fahashara fanada

فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ

Saying, "I am your Lord, the most high."

Faqala ana rabbukumu al-aAAla

فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰ

So Allah seized him with the punishment of the Hereafter and the former life

Faakhathahu Allahu nakala al-akhirati waal-oola</u

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ

Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears

Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

2 The Great Calamity

أَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ بَنَاهَا

Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He created it

Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا

He raised high its height, and gave it order and perfection

RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا

And He made dark its night and its splendour does He bring out with light

Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَاهَا

And after that He expanded (spread) the earth

Waal-arda baAAda thalika dahaha

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا

He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage

Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا

And the mountains, He made them firm

Waaljibala arsaha

مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ

A provision for you and for your cattle

MataAAan lakum wali-anAAamikum

فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَىٰ

But when the great overwhelming calamity comes

Fa-itha jaati alttammatu alkubra

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَىٰ

The Day on which man shall recollect all he strove after

Yawma yatathakkaru al-insanu ma saAAa

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ

And Hell shall be made manifest to him who see

Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ

Then for him who has transgressed all bounds

Faamma man tagha

وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

And prefers the life of this world

Waathara alhayata alddunya

فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ

Surely, Hell will be his abode

Fa-inna aljaheema hiya alma/wa

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ

And as for him who had feared standing in the presence of his Lord and restrains his soul from lust (or low desires)

Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa

فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ

Then surely the Garden, that is his abode

Fa-inna aljannata hiya alma/wa

يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا

They ask you (Muhammad) about the Hour, when it will come

Yas-aloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا

"What," ask they, "have you to say about it?"

Feema anta min thikraha

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا

To your Lord belongs the knowledge of it

Ila rabbika muntahaha

إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا

you are only a Warner to him who would fear it

Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا

On the day that they behold it, it will be as though they had not tarried but an evening or the morning

Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
