The Pluckers -An-Nazi'at |
|
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful |
|
1 |
|
[ 79. 1 ] By the pluckers ( the angels of death ), violently plucking ( the souls of the unbelievers ), |
|
2 |
|
[ 79. 2 ] by the drawers ( the angels of death ), gently drawing ( the souls of the believers ), |
|
3 |
|
[ 79. 3 ] by the swimmers ( angels ) swimming gently |
|
4 |
|
[ 79. 4 ] and the outstrippers ( angels ), outstripping, |
|
5 |
|
[ 79. 5 ] by the managers ( angels ) affair. |
|
6 |
|
[ 79. 6 ] On the Day, the shiverer shivers |
|
7 |
|
[ 79. 7 ] followed by the succeeding, |
|
8 |
|
[ 79. 8 ] hearts will throb on that Day |
|
9 |
|
[ 79. 9 ] and their eyes will be humbled. |
|
10 |
|
[ 79. 10 ] They say: 'What, are we being restored as we were before, |
|
11 |
|
[ 79. 11 ] even after we are fragmented bones?' |
|
12 |
|
[ 79. 12 ] They will say: 'Then we are returned lost!' |
|
13 |
|
[ 79. 13 ] But it will be only a single blow, |
|
14 |
|
[ 79. 14 ] and they will be upon the surface of the earth ( alive ). |
|
15 |
|
[ 79. 15 ] Have you received the story of Moses? |
|
16 |
|
[ 79. 16 ] His Lord called to him in the Sacred Valley of Towa, |
|
17 |
|
[ 79. 17 ] saying 'Go to Pharaoh, he has become exceedingly insolent, |
|
18 |
|
[ 79. 18 ] and say: " Will you purify yourself, |
|
19 |
|
[ 79. 19 ] that I might guide you to your Lord, so that you fear ( Him ). " |
|
20 |
|
[ 79. 20 ] He showed him the mighty sign, |
|
21 |
|
[ 79. 21 ] but he belied and disobeyed, |
|
22 |
|
[ 79. 22 ] and hastily turned away, |
|
23 |
|
[ 79. 23 ] then, he gathered, proclaimed, then said: |
|
24 |
|
[ 79. 24 ] 'I am your lord, the most high!' |
|
25 |
|
[ 79. 25 ] So Allah seized him with the punishment of the Everlasting Life, and of this world. |
|
26 |
|
[ 79. 26 ] Surely, in this there is a lesson for he that fears! |
|
27 |
|
[ 79. 27 ] What, are you harder to create than the heaven which He has built? |
|
28 |
|
[ 79. 28 ] He raised it high and leveled it, |
|
29 |
|
[ 79. 29 ] and darkened its night and brought forth its morning. |
|
30 |
|
[ 79. 30 ] And the earth He extended after that; |
|
31 |
|
[ 79. 31 ] and then brought from it its water and pastures. |
|
32 |
|
[ 79. 32 ] And the mountains He set firm |
|
33 |
|
[ 79. 33 ] an enjoyment for you and your herds. |
|
34 |
|
[ 79. 34 ] But when the Great Catastrophe comes, |
|
35 |
|
[ 79. 35 ] the Day when the human will remember what he has worked for, |
|
36 |
|
[ 79. 36 ] and when Hell is advanced for whoever sees, |
|
37 |
|
[ 79. 37 ] then as for whosoever was insolent |
|
38 |
|
[ 79. 38 ] preferring the present life, |
|
39 |
|
[ 79. 39 ] surely, Hell will be their refuge. |
|
40 |
|
[ 79. 40 ] But, whosoever feared the standing before his Lord and prevented the self from desires, |
|
41 |
|
[ 79. 41 ] indeed, their refuge shall be Paradise. |
|
42 |
|
[ 79. 42 ] They will question you about the Hour: 'When shall it be?' |
|
43 |
|
[ 79. 43 ] But how are you to know? |
|
44 |
|
[ 79. 44 ] Its final end is for your Lord. |
|
45 |
|
[ 79. 45 ] You are but a warner for those who fear it. |
|
46 |
|
[ 79. 46 ] On the Day when they behold it, it will be as if they had lingered but an evening, or, a morning. |
