hal atāka ḥadīthu mūsā

Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

idh nādāhu rabbuhu bil-wādi l-muqadasi ṭuwan

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

idh'hab ilā fir'ʿawna innahu ṭaghā

"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

faqul hal laka ilā an tazakkā

And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

wa-ahdiyaka ilā rabbika fatakhshā

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

fa-arāhu l-āyata l-kub'rā

And he showed him the greatest sign,

fakadhaba waʿaṣā

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

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

faḥashara fanādā

And he gathered [his people] and called out.

faqāla anā rabbukumu l-aʿlā

And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

fa-akhadhahu l-lahu nakāla l-ākhirati wal-ūlā

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

inna fī dhālika laʿib'ratan liman yakhshā

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

a-antum ashaddu khalqan ami l-samāu banāhā

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

He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

wa-aghṭasha laylahā wa-akhraja ḍuḥāhā

And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

akhraja min'hā māahā wamarʿāhā

He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

wal-jibāla arsāhā

And the mountains He set firmly

matāʿan lakum wali-anʿāmikum

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

fa-idhā jāati l-ṭāmatu l-kub'rā

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

yawma yatadhakkaru l-insānu mā saʿā

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

waburrizati l-jaḥīmu liman yarā

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

fa-ammā man ṭaghā

So as for he who transgressed

waāthara l-ḥayata l-dun'yā

And preferred the life of the world,

fa-inna l-jaḥīma hiya l-mawā

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

wa-ammā man khāfa maqāma rabbihi wanahā l-nafsa ʿani l-hawā

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

yasalūnaka ʿani l-sāʿati ayyāna mur'sāhā

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

fīma anta min dhik'rāhā

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

ilā rabbika muntahāhā

To your Lord is its finality.

innamā anta mundhiru man yakhshāhā

You are only a warner for those who fear it.

ka-annahum yawma yarawnahā lam yalbathū illā ʿashiyyatan aw ḍuḥāhā

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.

ʿabasa watawallā

He [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ) ] frowned and turned away

an jāahu l-aʿmā

Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].

wamā yud'rīka laʿallahu yazzakkā

But what would make you perceive, [O Muḥammad], that perhaps he might be purified

aw yadhakkaru fatanfaʿahu l-dhik'rā

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

ammā mani is'taghnā

As for he who thinks himself without need,

fa-anta lahu taṣaddā

To him you give attention.

wamā ʿalayka allā yazzakkā

And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.

wa-ammā man jāaka yasʿā

But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

wahuwa yakhshā

While he fears [Allāh],

fa-anta ʿanhu talahhā

From him you are distracted.

kallā innahā tadhkiratun

No! Indeed, they [i.e., these verses] are a reminder;

So whoever wills may remember it.

From what thing [i.e., substance] did He create him?

min nuṭ'fatin khalaqahu faqaddarahu

From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him;

thumma l-sabīla yassarahu

Then He eased the way for him;

thumma amātahu fa-aqbarahu

Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him.

thumma idhā shāa ansharahu

Then when He wills, He will resurrect him.

kallā lammā yaqḍi mā amarahu

No! He [i.e., man] has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.

falyanẓuri l-insānu ilā ṭaʿāmihi

Then let mankind look at his food -

annā ṣababnā l-māa ṣabban

How We poured down water in torrents,

thumma shaqaqnā l-arḍa shaqqan

Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts],
