Chapter 79 : The Snatchers (Al-Naaze`aat)


Sura:Verse English Arabic
  In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
79:1 The (angels who) snatch (the souls of the disbelievers) forcibly. وَالنَّزِعَتِ غَرْقًا
79:2 And those who gently take (the souls of the believers) joyfully. وَالنَّشِطَتِ نَشْطًا
79:3 And those floating everywhere. وَالسَّبِحَتِ سَبْحًا
79:4 Eagerly racing with one another - فَالسَّبِقَتِ سَبْقًا
79:5 to carry out various commands. فَالْمُدَبِّرَتِ أَمْرًا
79:6 The day the quake quakes. يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ
79:7 Followed by the second blow. تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ
79:8 Certain minds will be terrified. قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
79:9 Their eyes will be subdued. أَبْصَرُهَا خَشِعَةٌ
79:10 They will say, "We have been recreated from the grave! يَقُولُونَ أَءنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ
79:11 "How did this happen after we had turned into rotten bones?" أَءذَا كُنَّا عِظَمًا نَخِرَةً
79:12 They had said, "This is an impossible recurrence." قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
79:13 All it takes is one nudge. فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَحِدَةٌ
79:14 Whereupon they get up. فَإِذَا هُمْ بِالسَّاهِرَةِ
79:15 Have you known about the history of Moses? هَلْ أتَكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَى
79:16 His Lord called him at the holy valley of Tuwaa. إِذْ نَادَهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
79:17 "Go to Pharaoh; he has transgressed." اذْهَبْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَى
79:18 Tell him, "Would you not reform? فَقُلْ هَلْ لَكَ إِلَى أَنْ تَزَكَّى
79:19 "Let me guide you to your Lord, that you may turn reverent." وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَى
79:20 He then showed him the great miracle. فَأَرَهُ الْاءيَةَ الْكُبْرَى
79:21 But he disbelieved and rebelled. فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَى
79:22 Then he turned away in a hurry. ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَى
79:23 He summoned and proclaimed. فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَى
79:24 He said, "I am your Lord; most high." فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمْ الْأَعْلَى
79:25 Consequently, GOD committed him to the retribution in the Hereafter, as well as in the first life. فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْاءخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَى
79:26 This is a lesson for the reverent. إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِمَنْ يَخْشَى
79:27 Are you more difficult to create than the heaven? He constructed it. ءأَنْتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمْ السَّمَاءُ بَنَهَا
79:28 He raised its masses, and perfected it. رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّهَا
79:29 He made its night dark, and brightened its morn. وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَهَا
79:30

He made the earth egg-shaped.*

 

*79:30 The Arabic word "dahhaahaa" is derived from "Dahhyah" which means "egg."

وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ دَحَهَا
79:31 From it, He produced its own water and pasture. أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَهَا
79:32 He established the mountains. وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَهَا
79:33 All this to provide life support for you and your animals. مَتَعًا لَكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَمِكُمْ
79:34 Then, when the great blow comes. فَإِذَا جَاءَتْ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَى
79:35 That is the day when the human will remember everything he did. يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَنُ مَا سَعَى
79:36 Hell will be brought into existence. وَبُرِّزَتْ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَنْ يَرَى
79:37 As for the one who transgressed. فَأَمَّا مَنْ طَغَى
79:38 Who was preoccupied with this life. وَءاثَرَ الْحَيَوةَ الدُّنْيَا
79:39 Hell will be the abode. فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى
79:40 As for the one who reverenced the majesty of his Lord, and enjoined the self from sinful lusts. وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنْ الْهَوَى
79:41 Paradise will be the abode. فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى
79:42 They ask you about the Hour, and when it will take place! يَسْءلُونَكَ عَنْ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَهَا
79:43 It is not you (Muhammad) who is destined to announce its time. فِيمَ أَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرَهَا
79:44 Your Lord decides its fate. إِلَى رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَهَا
79:45 Your mission is to warn those who expect it. إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُنذِرُ مَنْ يَخْشَهَا
79:46 The day they see it, they will feel as if they lasted one evening or half a day. كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَهَا

Praise be to God Lord of the universe.
