یَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ ﴿٦﴾
One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,
یَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرۡدُودُونَ فِی ٱلۡحَافِرَةِ ﴿١٠﴾
They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state?
قَالُواْ تِلۡكَ إِذࣰا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةࣱ ﴿١٢﴾
They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!"
إِذۡ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ﴿١٦﴾
Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:-
ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ ﴿١٧﴾
"Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds:
فَقُلۡ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰۤ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ ﴿١٨﴾
"And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)?-
وَأَهۡدِیَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشَىٰ ﴿١٩﴾
"'And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'"
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلۡـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰۤ ﴿٢٥﴾
But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.
إِنَّ فِی ذَ ٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةࣰ لِّمَن یَخۡشَىٰۤ ﴿٢٦﴾
Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah).
ءَأَنتُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَاۤءُۚ بَنَىٰهَا ﴿٢٧﴾
What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it:
رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا ﴿٢٨﴾
On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection.
وَأَغۡطَشَ لَیۡلَهَا وَأَخۡرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا ﴿٢٩﴾
Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light).
وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذَ ٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَاۤ ﴿٣٠﴾
And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);
أَخۡرَجَ مِنۡهَا مَاۤءَهَا وَمَرۡعَىٰهَا ﴿٣١﴾
He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;
فَإِذَا جَاۤءَتِ ٱلطَّاۤمَّةُ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ﴿٣٤﴾
Therefore, when there comes the great, overwhelming (Event),-
یَوۡمَ یَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ﴿٣٥﴾
The Day when man shall remember (all) that he strove for,
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِیمُ لِمَن یَرَىٰ ﴿٣٦﴾
And Hell-Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see,-
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفۡسَ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ ﴿٤٠﴾
And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires,
یَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَیَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَا ﴿٤٢﴾
They ask thee about the Hour,-'When will be its appointed time?
