SURAH AN-NAZI’AAT (THOSE WHO PULL OUT)

This surah was revealed in Mecca and it has 42 verses. The Holy Prophet (S) has said that the reward for reciting this surah is ten times the number of entities in the Heavens.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

وَالنّٰزِعٰتِ غَرْقًا ۙ‏(1)

(1) I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,

وَّالنّٰشِطٰتِ نَشْطًا ۙ‏(2)

(2) And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,

وَّالسّٰبِحٰتِ سَبْحًا ۙ‏(3)

(3) And by those who float in space,

فَالسّٰبِقٰتِ سَبْقًا ۙ‏(4)

(4) Then those who are foremost going ahead,

فَالْمُدَبِّرٰتِ اَمْرًا‌ ۘ‏(5)

(5) Then those who regulate the affair.

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ ۙ‏(6)

(6) The day on which the quaking one shall quake,

تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ ؕ‏(7)

(7) What must happen afterwards shall follow it.

قُلُوْبٌ يَّوْمَئِذٍ وَّاجِفَةٌ ۙ‏(8)

(8) Hearts on that day shall palpitate,

اَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ‌ ۘ‏(9)

(9) Their eyes cast down.

يَقُوْلُوْنَ ءَاِنَّا لَمَرْدُوْدُوْنَ فِى الْحَافِرَةِ ؕ‏(10)

(10) They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?

ءَاِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَّخِرَةً ؕ‏(11)

(11) What! when we are rotten bones?

قَالُوْا تِلْكَ اِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ‌ ۘ‏(12)

(12) They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.

فَاِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ ۙ‏(13)

(13) But it shall be only a single cry,

فَاِذَا هُمْ بِالسَّاهِرَةِ ؕ‏(14)

(14) When lo! they shall be wakeful.

هَلْ اَتٰٮكَ حَدِيْثُ مُوْسٰى‌ۘ‏(15)

(15) Has not there come to you the story of Musa?

اِذْ نَادٰٮهُ رَبُّهٗ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى‌ۚ‏(16)

(16) When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,

اِذْهَبْ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّهٗ طَغٰى ۖ‏(17)

(17) Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.

فَقُلْ هَلْ لَّكَ اِلٰٓى اَنْ تَزَكّٰى ۙ‏(18)

(18) Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:

وَاَهْدِيَكَ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشٰى‌ۚ‏(19)

(19) And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.

فَاَرٰٮهُ الْاٰيَةَ الْكُبْرٰى ۖ‏(20)

(20) So he showed him the mighty sign.

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصٰى ۖ‏(21)

(21) But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.

ثُمَّ اَدْبَرَ يَسْعٰىۖ‏(22)

(22) Then he went back hastily.

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادٰىۖ‏(23)

(23) Then he gathered (men) and called out.

فَقَالَ اَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْاَعْلٰى ۖ‏(24)

(24) Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.

فَاَخَذَهُ اللّٰهُ نَڪَالَ الْاٰخِرَةِ وَالْاُوْلٰى ؕ‏(25)

(25) So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.

اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَنْ يَّخْشٰىؕ‏(26)

(26) Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.

ءَاَنْتُمْ اَشَدُّ خَلْقًا اَمِ السَّمَآءُ‌ ؕ بَنٰٮهَا‏(27)

(27) Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّٮهَا ۙ‏(28)

(28) He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.

وَ اَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَاَخْرَجَ ضُحٰٮهَا‏(29)

(29) And He made dark its night and brought out its light.

وَالْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ دَحٰٮهَا ؕ‏(30)

(30) And the earth, He expanded it after that.

اَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعٰٮهَا‏(31)

(31) He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.

وَالْجِبَالَ اَرْسٰٮهَا ۙ‏(32)

(32) And the mountains, He made them firm,

مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِاَنْعَامِكُمْؕ‏(33)

(33) A provision for you and for your cattle.

فَاِذَا جَآءَتِ الطَّآمَّةُ الْكُبْرٰى ۖ‏(34)

(34) But when the great predominating calamity comes;

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْاِنْسَانُ مَا سَعٰىۙ‏(35)

(35) The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,

وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيْمُ لِمَنْ يَّرٰى‏(36)

(36) And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees

فَاَمَّا مَنْ طَغٰىۙ‏(37)

(37) Then as for him who is inordinate,

وَاٰثَرَ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا ۙ‏(38)

(38) And prefers the life of this world,

فَاِنَّ الْجَحِيْمَ هِىَ الْمَاْوٰىؕ‏(39)

(39) Then surely the hell, that is the abode.

وَاَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهٖ وَ نَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوٰىۙ‏(40)

(40) And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,

فَاِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِىَ الْمَاْوٰىؕ‏(41)

(41) Then surely the garden-- that is the abode.

يَسْئَلُوْنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَيَّانَ مُرْسٰٮهَا ؕ‏(42)

(42) They ask you about the hour, when it will come.

فِيْمَ اَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرٰٮهَاؕ‏(43)

(43) About what! You are one to remind of it.

اِلٰى رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهٰٮهَاؕ‏(44)

(44) To your Lord is the goal of it.

اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مُنْذِرُ مَنْ يَّخْشٰٮهَاؕ‏(45)

(45) You are only a warner to him who would fear it.

كَاَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوْۤا اِلَّا عَشِيَّةً اَوْ ضُحٰٮهَا‏(46)

(46) On the day that they see it, it will be as though they had not tarried but the latter part of a day or the early part of it.
