سُورَةُ النَّازِعَاتِ

وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًۭا

By those [angels] who extract with violence

وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًۭا

And [by] those who remove with ease

وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًۭا

And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming

فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًۭا

And those who race each other in a race

فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًۭا

And those who arrange [each] matter,

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ

On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ

There will follow it the subsequent [one].

قُلُوبٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاجِفَةٌ

Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌۭ

Their eyes humbled.

يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ

They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًۭا نَّخِرَةًۭ

Even if we should be decayed bones?

قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًۭا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌۭ

They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ

Indeed, it will be but one shout,

فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ

And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ

Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ

And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ

And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

And he showed him the greatest sign,

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ

But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ

Then he turned his back, striving.

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ

And he gathered [his people] and called out

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ

So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].
