Juz' 30 - Translation Yusufali

Sura 78: AN-NABA (THE TIDINGS)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
عَمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ ﴿۱﴾
Concerning what are they disputing? (1)
عَنِ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ ﴿۲﴾
Concerning the Great News, (2)
الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ ﴿۳﴾
About which they cannot agree. (3)
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۴﴾
Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! (4)
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۵﴾
Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! (5)
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ مِهَادًا ﴿۶﴾
Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, (6)
وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا ﴿۷﴾
And the mountains as pegs? (7)
وَخَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ﴿۸﴾
And (have We not) created you in pairs, (8)
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا ﴿۹﴾
And made your sleep for rest, (9)
وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا ﴿۱۰﴾
And made the night as a covering, (10)
وَجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا ﴿۱۱﴾
And made the day as a means of subsistence? (11)
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا ﴿۱۲﴾
And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments, (12)
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا ﴿۱۳﴾
And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour? (13)
وَأَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعْصِرَاتِ مَاءً ثَجَّاجًا ﴿۱۴﴾
And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance, (14)
لِنُخْرِجَ بِهِ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا ﴿۱۵﴾
That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables, (15)
وَجَنَّاتٍ أَلْفَافًا ﴿۱۶﴾
And gardens of luxurious growth? (16)
إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَاتًا ﴿۱۷﴾
Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, (17)
يَوْمَ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا ﴿۱۸﴾
The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; (18)
وَفُتِحَتِ السَّمَاءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَابًا ﴿۱۹﴾
And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, (19)
وَسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا ﴿۲۰﴾
And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. (20)
إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ كَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا ﴿۲۱﴾
Truly Hell is as a place of ambush, (21)
لِلطَّاغِينَ مَآبًا ﴿۲۲﴾
For the transgressors a place of destination: (22)
لَابِثِينَ فِيهَا أَحْقَابًا ﴿۲۳﴾
They will dwell therein for ages. (23)
لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا بَرْدًا وَلَا شَرَابًا ﴿۲۴﴾
Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink, (24)
إِلَّا حَمِيمًا وَغَسَّاقًا ﴿۲۵﴾
Save a boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold, (25)
جَزَاءً وِفَاقًا ﴿۲۶﴾
A fitting recompense (for them). (26)
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا ﴿۲۷﴾
For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), (27)
وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا كِذَّابًا ﴿۲۸﴾
But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false. (28)
وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَاهُ كِتَابًا ﴿۲۹﴾
And all things have We preserved on record. (29)
فَذُوقُوا فَلَنْ نَزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَذَابًا ﴿۳۰﴾
"So taste ye (the fruits of your deeds); for no increase shall We grant you, except in Punishment." (30)
إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مَفَازًا ﴿۳۱﴾
Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfilment of (the heart's) desires; (31)
حَدَائِقَ وَأَعْنَابًا ﴿۳۲﴾
Gardens enclosed, and grapevines; (32)
وَكَوَاعِبَ أَتْرَابًا ﴿۳۳﴾
And voluptuous women of equal age; (33)
وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا ﴿۳۴﴾
And a cup full (to the brim). (34)
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّابًا ﴿۳۵﴾
No vanity shall they hear therein, nor Untruth:- (35)
جَزَاءً مِنْ رَبِّكَ عَطَاءً حِسَابًا ﴿۳۶﴾
Recompense from thy Lord, a gift, (amply) sufficient, (36)
رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الرَّحْمَنِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا ﴿۳۷﴾
(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between, (Allah) Most Gracious: None shall have power to argue with Him. (37)
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا لَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا ﴿۳۸﴾
The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and He will say what is right. (38)
ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ مَآبًا ﴿۳۹﴾
That Day will be the sure Reality: Therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) return to his Lord! (39)
إِنَّا أَنْذَرْنَاكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنْظُرُ الْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ الْكَافِرُ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ تُرَابًا ﴿۴۰﴾
Verily, We have warned you of a Penalty near, the Day when man will see (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the Unbeliever will say, "Woe unto me! Would that I were (metre) dust!" (40)
Sura 79: AN-NAZIAT (THOSE WHO DRAG FORTH)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
وَالنَّازِعَاتِ غَرْقًا ﴿۱﴾
By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence; (1)
وَالنَّاشِطَاتِ نَشْطًا ﴿۲﴾
By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed); (2)
وَالسَّابِحَاتِ سَبْحًا ﴿۳﴾
And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy), (3)
فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا ﴿۴﴾
Then press forward as in a race, (4)
فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا ﴿۵﴾
Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord), (5)
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ ﴿۶﴾
One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion, (6)
تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ ﴿۷﴾
Followed by oft-repeated (commotions): (7)
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ ﴿۸﴾
Hearts that Day will be in agitation; (8)
أَبْصَارُهَا خَاشِعَةٌ ﴿۹﴾
Cast down will be (their owners') eyes. (9)
يَقُولُونَ أَإِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِي الْحَافِرَةِ ﴿۱۰﴾
They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state? (10)
أَإِذَا كُنَّا عِظَامًا نَخِرَةً ﴿۱۱﴾
"What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?" (11)
قَالُوا تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ ﴿۱۲﴾
They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!" (12)
فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ زَجْرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ ﴿۱۳﴾
But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry, (13)
فَإِذَا هُمْ بِالسَّاهِرَةِ ﴿۱۴﴾
When, behold, they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment). (14)
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَى ﴿۱۵﴾
Has the story of Moses reached thee? (15)
إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى ﴿۱۶﴾
Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:- (16)
اذْهَبْ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَى ﴿۱۷﴾
"Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds: (17)
فَقُلْ هَلْ لَكَ إِلَى أَنْ تَزَكَّى ﴿۱۸﴾
"And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)?- (18)
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَى ﴿۱۹﴾
"'And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'" (19)
فَأَرَاهُ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَى ﴿۲۰﴾
Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign. (20)
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَى ﴿۲۱﴾
But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance); (21)
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَى ﴿۲۲﴾
Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah). (22)
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَى ﴿۲۳﴾
Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation, (23)
فَقَالَ أَنَا رَبُّكُمُ الْأَعْلَى ﴿۲۴﴾
Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High". (24)
فَأَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ نَكَالَ الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَى ﴿۲۵﴾
But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life. (25)
إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِمَنْ يَخْشَى ﴿۲۶﴾
Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah). (26)
أَأَنْتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ بَنَاهَا ﴿۲۷﴾
What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it: (27)
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا ﴿۲۸﴾
On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection. (28)
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا ﴿۲۹﴾
Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light). (29)
وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ دَحَاهَا ﴿۳۰﴾
And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse); (30)
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا ﴿۳۱﴾
He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture; (31)
وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا ﴿۳۲﴾
And the mountains hath He firmly fixed;- (32)
مَتَاعًا لَكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ ﴿۳۳﴾
For use and convenience to you and your cattle. (33)
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَى ﴿۳۴﴾
Therefore, when there comes the great, overwhelming (Event),- (34)
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنْسَانُ مَا سَعَى ﴿۳۵﴾
The Day when man shall remember (all) that he strove for, (35)
وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَنْ يَرَى ﴿۳۶﴾
And Hell-Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see,- (36)
فَأَمَّا مَنْ طَغَى ﴿۳۷﴾
Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds, (37)
وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا ﴿۳۸﴾
And had preferred the life of this world, (38)
فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى ﴿۳۹﴾
The Abode will be Hell-Fire; (39)
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى ﴿۴۰﴾
And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires, (40)
فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى ﴿۴۱﴾
Their abode will be the Garden. (41)
يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا ﴿۴۲﴾
They ask thee about the Hour,-'When will be its appointed time? (42)
فِيمَ أَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرَاهَا ﴿۴۳﴾
Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof? (43)
إِلَى رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهَاهَا ﴿۴۴﴾
With thy Lord in the Limit fixed therefor. (44)
إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُنْذِرُ مَنْ يَخْشَاهَا ﴿۴۵﴾
Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it. (45)
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا ﴿۴۶﴾
The Day they see it, (It will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening, or (at most till) the following morn! (46)
Sura 80: ABASA (HE FROWNED)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى ﴿۱﴾
(The Prophet) frowned and turned away, (1)
أَنْ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَى ﴿۲﴾
Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). (2)
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّى ﴿۳﴾
But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?- (3)
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنْفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَى ﴿۴﴾
Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him? (4)
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى ﴿۵﴾
As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient, (5)
فَأَنْتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّى ﴿۶﴾
To him dost thou attend; (6)
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّى ﴿۷﴾
Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding). (7)
وَأَمَّا مَنْ جَاءَكَ يَسْعَى ﴿۸﴾
But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly, (8)
وَهُوَ يَخْشَى ﴿۹﴾
And with fear (in his heart), (9)
فَأَنْتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّى ﴿۱۰﴾
Of him wast thou unmindful. (10)
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ ﴿۱۱﴾
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction: (11)
فَمَنْ شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ ﴿۱۲﴾
Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance. (12)
فِي صُحُفٍ مُكَرَّمَةٍ ﴿۱۳﴾
(It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour, (13)
مَرْفُوعَةٍ مُطَهَّرَةٍ ﴿۱۴﴾
Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy, (14)
بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ ﴿۱۵﴾
(Written) by the hands of scribes- (15)
كِرَامٍ بَرَرَةٍ ﴿۱۶﴾
Honourable and Pious and Just. (16)
قُتِلَ الْإِنْسَانُ مَا أَكْفَرَهُ ﴿۱۷﴾
Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah; (17)
مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ ﴿۱۸﴾
From what stuff hath He created him? (18)
مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُ فَقَدَّرَهُ ﴿۱۹﴾
From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions; (19)
ثُمَّ السَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُ ﴿۲۰﴾
Then doth He make His path smooth for him; (20)
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُ فَأَقْبَرَهُ ﴿۲۱﴾
Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave; (21)
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْشَرَهُ ﴿۲۲﴾
Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again). (22)
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَا أَمَرَهُ ﴿۲۳﴾
By no means hath he fulfilled what Allah hath commanded him. (23)
فَلْيَنْظُرِ الْإِنْسَانُ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ ﴿۲۴﴾
Then let man look at his food, (and how We provide it): (24)
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا الْمَاءَ صَبًّا ﴿۲۵﴾
For that We pour forth water in abundance, (25)
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا الْأَرْضَ شَقًّا ﴿۲۶﴾
And We split the earth in fragments, (26)
فَأَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا ﴿۲۷﴾
And produce therein corn, (27)
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا ﴿۲۸﴾
And Grapes and nutritious plants, (28)
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا ﴿۲۹﴾
And Olives and Dates, (29)
وَحَدَائِقَ غُلْبًا ﴿۳۰﴾
And enclosed Gardens, dense with lofty trees, (30)
وَفَاكِهَةً وَأَبًّا ﴿۳۱﴾
And fruits and fodder,- (31)
مَتَاعًا لَكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ ﴿۳۲﴾
For use and convenience to you and your cattle. (32)
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الصَّاخَّةُ ﴿۳۳﴾
At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise,- (33)
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ ﴿۳۴﴾
That Day shall a man flee from his own brother, (34)
وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ ﴿۳۵﴾
And from his mother and his father, (35)
وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ ﴿۳۶﴾
And from his wife and his children. (36)
لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ ﴿۳۷﴾
Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others. (37)
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُسْفِرَةٌ ﴿۳۸﴾
Some faces that Day will be beaming, (38)
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُسْتَبْشِرَةٌ ﴿۳۹﴾
Laughing, rejoicing. (39)
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ ﴿۴۰﴾
And other faces that Day will be dust-stained, (40)
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ ﴿۴۱﴾
Blackness will cover them: (41)
أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَفَرَةُ الْفَجَرَةُ ﴿۴۲﴾
Such will be the Rejecters of Allah, the doers of iniquity. (42)

(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward. (14)

وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ ﴿۲۴﴾
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. (24)
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ ﴿۲۵﴾
Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. (25)
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ ﴿۲۶﴾
When whither go ye? (26)
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ ﴿۲۷﴾

But ye shall not will except as Allah wills,- the Cherisher of the Worlds. (29)
