Surah An-Nazi'at

فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ 21

But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed

ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ يَسۡعَىٰ 22

Then he turned his back, striving

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ 23

And he gathered [his people] and called out

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ 24

And said, "I am your most exalted lord

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ 25

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

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةٗ لِّمَن يَخۡشَىٰٓ 26

Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah]

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُۚ بَنَىٰهَا 27

Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it

رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا 28

He raised its ceiling and proportioned it

وَأَغۡطَشَ لَيۡلَهَا وَأَخۡرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا 29

And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ 30

And after that He spread the earth

أَخۡرَجَ مِنۡهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرۡعَىٰهَا 31

He extracted from it its water and its pasture

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَرۡسَىٰهَا 32

And the mountains He set firmly

مَتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ 33

As provision for you and your grazing livestock

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ 34

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity

يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ 35

The Day when man will remember that for which he strove

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ 36

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

فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ 37

So as for he who transgressed

وَءَاثَرَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا 38

And preferred the life of the world

فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ 39

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge

وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفۡسَ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ 40

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