Those Who Drag Forth, Soul-snatchers, Those Who Pulled Out — Sher Ali Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Great Commotion

وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا

By those who draw people to the true faith vigorously

WaalnnaziAAati gharqan

وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا

And by those who tie their knots firmly

Waalnnashitati nashtan

وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا

And by those who glide along swiftly

Waalssabihati sabhan

فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا

Then they advance and greatly excel others

Faalssabiqati sabqan

فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا

Then they administer affairs in an excellent manner

Faalmudabbirati amran

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ

This will be on the day when the quaking earth shall quake

Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu

تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ

And a second quaking shall follow it

TatbaAAuha alrradifatu

قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ

On that day hearts will tremble

Quloobun yawma-ithin wajifatun

أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ

And their eyes will be cast down

Absaruha khashiAAatun

يَقُولُونَ أَإِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ

They say, `Shall we really be restored to our former state

Yaqooloona a-inna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati

أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً

`What ! even when we are rotten bones?

A-itha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan

قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ

They say, `Then that, indeed, would be a losing return.

Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun

فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ

It will only be a single cry

Fa-innama hiya zajratun wahidatun

فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ

And behold ! they will all come out in the open

Fa-itha hum bialssahirati

هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰ

Has the story of Moses reached thee

Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

When his Lord called him in the holy Valley of Tuwa

Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ

And directed him: `Go thou to Pharaoh; he has rebelled,

Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ

`And say to him. `Wouldst thou be purified

Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ

`And I will guide thee to thy Lord so that thou mayest fear HIM.

Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ

So he showed him the great Sign

Faarahu al-ayata alkubra

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ

But he rejected him and disobeyed

Fakaththaba waAAasa

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ

Then he turned away from the Truth, devising schemes

Thumma adbara yasAAa

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ

And he gathered his people and proclaimed

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 for the punishment of the Hereafter and the present world

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

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ

Therein, surely, is a lesson for him who fears his Lord

Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

2 The Great Calamity

أَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ بَنَاهَا

Are you harder to create or the heaven that ALLAH has made

Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا

HE has raised the height thereof and has made it perfect

RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا

And HE has made its night dark; and has brought forth the morn thereof

Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَاهَا

And the earth, along with it, HE has spread forth

Waal-arda baAAda thalika dahaha

أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا

HE has produced therefrom its water and its pasture

Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا

And the mountains HE made them firm

Waaljibala arsaha

مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ

All this is a provision for you and for your cattle

MataAAan lakum wali-anAAamikum

فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَىٰ

But when the great calamity comes

Fa-itha jaati alttammatu alkubra

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَىٰ

The day when man will call to mind all that he strove for

Yawma yatathakkaru al-insanu ma saAAa

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ

And Hell will be made manifest to him who sees

Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ

Then, as for him who rebels

Faamma man tagha

وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا

And prefers the life of this world

Waathara alhayata alddunya

فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ

The Fire of Hell shall, surely, be his abode

Fa-inna aljaheema hiya alma/wa

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ

But as for him who fears to stand before his Lord, and restrains his soul from evil desires

Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa

فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ

The Garden shall, surely, be his abode

Fa-inna aljannata hiya alma/wa

يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا

They ask thee concerning the Hour: `When will it take place?

Yas-aloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا

Wherein art thou concerned with the talk of its coming

Feema anta min thikraha

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا

The ultimate knowledge of it rests with thy Lord

Ila rabbika muntahaha

إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا

Thou art only a Warner unto him who fears it

Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا

On the day when they see it, it will be as if they had not tarried in the world but an evening or a morn thereof

Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha
