Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

79:16 · page 584

إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

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

79:17 · page 584

ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

79:18 · page 584

79:19 · page 584

وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ

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

فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

And he showed him the greatest sign,

79:21 · page 584

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ

But he [i.e., Pharaoh] denied and disobeyed.

79:22 · page 584

Then he turned his back, striving [i.e., plotting].

79:23 · page 584

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ

79:25 · page 584

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ

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

79:26 · page 584

إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ

Indeed in that is a lesson [i.e., warning] for whoever would fear [Allāh].

79:27 · page 584

ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا

Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? He [i.e., Allāh] constructed it.

79:28 · page 584

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا

He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

79:29 · page 584

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا

He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

79:32 · page 584

وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا

79:33 · page 584

مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ

As enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.

79:34 · page 584

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

79:35 · page 584

يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ

The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

79:36 · page 584

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ

And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

79:37 · page 584

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ

So as for he who transgressed

79:38 · page 584

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

And preferred the life of the world,

79:39 · page 584

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

79:40 · page 584

وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ

But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

79:41 · page 584

فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

79:42 · page 584

يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا

They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?

79:43 · page 584

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ

In what [position] are you that you should mention it?

79:44 · page 584

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ

To your Lord is its finality.

79:45 · page 584

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا

You are only a warner for those who fear it.

79:46 · page 584

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا

It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
