| 6 | يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ |
| On the day when the trembling one will tremble. (The disbelievers will certainly taste the punishment.) | |
| 7 | تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ |
| And the following event will come after it. | |
| 8 | قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ |
| Many a heart will flutter on that day! | |
| 9 | أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ |
| Unable to lift their gaze. | |
| 10 | يَقُولُونَ أَإِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ |
| The disbelievers say, “Will we really return to our former state?” | |
| 11 | أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً |
| “When we have become decayed bones?” | |
| 12 | قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ |
| They said, “So this return is an obvious loss!” | |
| 13 | فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ |
| So that is not but a single shout. | |
| 14 | فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ |
| So they will immediately be in an open plain. | |
| 15 | هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰ |
| Did the news of Moosa reach you? | |
| 16 | إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى |
| When his Lord called him in the holy valley of Tuwa. | |
| 17 | اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ |
| That “Go to Firaun – he has rebelled.” | |
| 18 | فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ |
| “Tell him ‘Do you have the inclination to become pure?’ | |
| 19 | وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ |
| ‘And I may guide you to your Lord, so that you may fear.’” | |
| 20 | فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَىٰ |
| So Moosa showed him a magnificent sign. | |
| 21 | فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ |
| In response, he denied and disobeyed. | |
| 22 | ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ |
| He then turned away, striving in his effort. | |
| 23 | فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ |
| So he gathered the people, and proclaimed. | |
| 24 | فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَىٰ |
| And then said, “I am your most supreme lord.” | |
| 25 | فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَىٰ |
| Allah therefore seized him, in the punishment of this world and the Hereafter. | |
| 26 | إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ |
| Indeed in this is a lesson for one who fears. | |
| 27 | أَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ ۚ بَنَاهَا |
| Do you think that it is harder to create you or the heavens? Allah has created it. | |
| 28 | رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا |
| He raised its roof and made it proper. | |
| 29 | وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا |
| And He made its night dark, and started its light. | |
| 30 | وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَاهَا |
| And after it spread out the earth. | |
| 31 | أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا |
| And from it produced its water and its pasture. | |
| 32 | وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا |
| And solidified the mountains. | |
| 33 | مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ |
| In order to benefit you and your cattle. | |
| 34 | فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَىٰ |
| So when the greatest universal disaster arrives, | |
| 35 | يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَىٰ |
| On that day man will recall all what he strove for. | |
| 36 | وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ |
| And hell will be made visible to all those who can see. | |
| 37 | فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ |
| So for one who rebelled, | |
| 38 | وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا |
| And preferred the worldly life, | |
| 39 | فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ |
| Then indeed hell only is his destination. | |
| 40 | وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ |
| And for one who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from desire, | |
| 41 | فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ |
| Then indeed Paradise only is his destination. | |
| 42 | يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا |
| They (the disbelievers) ask you regarding the Last Day, as to when is its appointed time. | |
| 43 | فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا |
| What concern do you have regarding its explanation? (You are not bound to tell them) | |
| 44 | إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا |
| Towards your Lord only is its conclusion. | |
| 45 | إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا |
| You are but a Herald of Warning, for one who fears it. | |
| 46 | كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا |
| The day when they will see it, it will seem as if they had not stayed on earth except for an evening or its morning. | |
