An-Nazi'at 79:34–46

79:34–36Page 584

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ ٣٤

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity¹ -

يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ ٣٥

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

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ ٣٦

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

79:37–39Page 584

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ ٣٧

So as for he who transgressed

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا ٣٨

And preferred the life of the world,

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ ٣٩

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

79:40–41Page 584

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفۡسَ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ ٤٠

But as for he who feared the position of his Lord¹ and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ ٤١

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

79:42Page 584

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَا ٤٢

They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?¹

79:43–46Page 584

فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكۡرَىٰهَآ ٤٣

In what [position] are you that you should mention it?¹

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ ٤٤

To your Lord is its finality.¹

إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰهَا ٤٥

You are only a warner for those who fear it.

كَأَنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَهَا لَمۡ يَلۡبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوۡ ضُحَىٰهَا ٤٦

It will be, on the Day they see it,¹ as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
