79. Naziat · verses 24–36

فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ

Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla

Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".

فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ

Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola

But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةٗ لِّمَن يَخۡشَىٰٓ

Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah).

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُۚ بَنَىٰهَا

Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it:

رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا

RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection.

وَأَغۡطَشَ لَيۡلَهَا وَأَخۡرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا

Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light).

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ

Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha

And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);

أَخۡرَجَ مِنۡهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرۡعَىٰهَا

Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَرۡسَىٰهَا

Waaljibala arsaha

And the mountains hath He firmly fixed;-

مَتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ

MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

For use and convenience to you and your cattle.

فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ

Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra

Therefore, when there comes the great, overwhelming (Event),-

يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ

Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa

The Day when man shall remember (all) that he strove for,

وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ

Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

And Hell-Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see,-
