هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰ(15) Has there come to you the story of Musa (Moses)? |
إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى(16) When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa, |
اذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ(17) Go to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism, disbelief, etc.). |

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰ(26) Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allah. |
أَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ السَّمَاءُ ۚ بَنَاهَا(27) Are you more difficult to create, or is the heaven that He constructed? |
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّاهَا(28) He raised its height, and He has equally ordered it, |
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَاهَا(29) Its night He covers with darkness, and its forenoon He brings out (with light). |
وَالْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَاهَا(30) And after that He spread the earth; |
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَمَرْعَاهَا(31) And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture; |
وَالْجِبَالَ أَرْسَاهَا(32) And the mountains He has fixed firmly; |
مَتَاعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَامِكُمْ(33) (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle. |
فَإِذَا جَاءَتِ الطَّامَّةُ الْكُبْرَىٰ(34) But when there comes the greatest catastrophe (i.e. the Day of Recompense, etc.), |
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ الْإِنسَانُ مَا سَعَىٰ(35) The Day when man shall remember what he strove for, |
وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ(36) And Hell-fire shall be made apparent in full view for (every) one who sees, |
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ(37) Then, for him who Tagha (transgressed all bounds, in disbelief, oppression and evil deeds of disobedience to Allah). |
وَآثَرَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا(38) And preferred the life of this world (by following his evil desires and lusts), |
فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ(39) Verily, his abode will be Hell-fire; |

فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ(41) Verily, Paradise will be his abode. |
يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا(42) They ask you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) about the Hour, - when will be its appointed time? |
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَاهَا(43) You have no knowledge to say anything about it, |
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَاهَا(44) To your Lord belongs (the knowledge of) the term thereof? |
إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَاهَا(45) You (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) are only a warner for those who fear it, |
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا(46) The Day they see it, (it will be) as if they had not tarried (in this world) except an afternoon or a morning. |
