إِذۡ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
(16) When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwā,
Ayet :
17
ٱذۡهَبۡ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
(17) "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
Ayet :
18
فَقُلۡ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
(18) And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself
Ayet :
19
وَأَهۡدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشَىٰ
(19) And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"
Ayet :
20
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلۡأٓيَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ
(20) And he showed him the greatest sign,[1842]
Ayet :
21
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
(21) But he [i.e., Pharaoh] denied and disobeyed.
Ayet :

ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ يَسۡعَىٰ
(22) Then he turned his back, striving [i.e., plotting].[1843]
Ayet :

فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
(23) And he gathered [his people] and called out
Ayet :
24
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ
(24) And said, "I am your most exalted lord."
Ayet :
25
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ
(25) So Allāh seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].[1844].
Ayet :

(26) Indeed in that is a lesson [i.e., warning] for whoever would fear [Allāh].
Ayet :

ءَأَنتُمۡ أَشَدُّ خَلۡقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُۚ بَنَىٰهَا
(27) Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? He [i.e., Allāh] constructed it.
Ayet :
28
رَفَعَ سَمۡكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا

وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ

(31) He extracted from it its water and its pasture,
Ayet :

وَٱلۡجِبَالَ أَرۡسَىٰهَا
(32) And the mountains He set firmly
Ayet :
33
مَتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ
(33) As enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.
Ayet :
34
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ
(34) But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity[1846] -
Ayet :
35
يَوۡمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ
(35) The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,
Ayet :
36
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
(36) And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -
Ayet :
37
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
(37) So as for he who transgressed

38
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا
(38) And preferred the life of the world,
Ayet :
39
فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَحِيمَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ
(39) Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.
Ayet :
40
وَأَمَّا مَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفۡسَ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰ
(40) But as for he who feared the position of his Lord[1847] and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,
Ayet :
41
فَإِنَّ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ هِيَ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰ
(41) Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.
Ayet :
42
يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَا
(42) They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?[1848]
Ayet :
43
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكۡرَىٰهَآ
(43) In what [position] are you that you should mention it?[1849]
Ayet :
44
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ
(44) To your Lord is its finality.[1850]
Ayet :
45
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخۡشَىٰهَا
(45) You are only a warner for those who fear it.
Ayet :
46
كَأَنَّهُمۡ يَوۡمَ يَرَوۡنَهَا لَمۡ يَلۡبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوۡ ضُحَىٰهَا
(46) It will be, on the Day they see it,[1851] as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
