| 1 | By the ( angels ) who tear out ( the souls of the wicked ) with violence; | ||
| 2 | By those who gently draw out ( the souls of the blessed ); | ||
| 3 | And by those who glide along ( on errands of mercy ). | ||
| 4 | Then press forward as in a race. | ||
| 5 | Then arrange to do ( the commands of their Lord ) | ||
| 6 | One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion. | ||
| 7 | Followed by oft-repeated ( commotions ): | ||
| 8 | Hearts that Day will be in agitation; | ||
| 9 | Cast down will be ( their owners' ) eyes. | ||
| 10 | They say ( now ): " What! shall we indeed be returned to ( our ) former state? " | ||
| 11 | " What! When we shall have become rotten bones? " | ||
| 12 | They say: " It would in that case be a return with loss! " | ||
| 13 | But verily it will be but a single ( compelling ) Cry. | ||
| 14 | When behold they will be in the ( full ) awakening ( to Judgment ). | ||
| 15 | Has the story of Moses reached thee?. | ||
| 16 | Behold thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley to Tuwa | ||
| 17 | " Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds. | ||
| 18 | " And say to him 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified ( from sin )? | ||
| 19 | " 'And that I guide thee to thy Lord so thou shouldst fear Him?' ". | ||
| 20 | Then did ( Moses ) show him the Great Sign. | ||
| 21 | But ( Pharaoh ) rejected it and disobeyed ( guidance ); | ||
| 22 | Further he turned his back striving hard ( against Allah ). | ||
| 23 | Then he collected ( his men ) and made a proclamation. | ||
| 24 | Saying " I am your Lord Most High. " | ||
| 25 | But Allah did punish him ( and made an ) example of him in the Hereafter as in this life. | ||
| 26 | Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth ( Allah ): | ||
| 27 | What! are ye the more difficult to create of the heaven ( above )? ( Allah ) hath constructed it: | ||
| 28 | On high hath He raised its canopy and He hath given it order and perfection. | ||
| 29 | Its night doth He endow with darkness and its splendor doth He bring out ( with light ). | ||
| 30 | And the earth moreover; hath He extended ( to a wide expanse ): | ||
| 31 | He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture; | ||
| 32 | And the mountains hath He firmly fixed | ||
| 33 | For use and convenience to you and your cattle. | ||
| 34 | Therefore when there comes the great overwhelming ( Event ) | ||
| 35 | The Day when Man shall remember ( all ) that he strove for. | ||
| 36 | And Half-Fire shall be placed in full view for ( all ) to see | ||
| 37 | Then for such as had transgressed all bounds. | ||
| 38 | And had preferred the life of this world. | ||
| 39 | The Abode will be Hell-Fire; | ||
| 40 | And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's ( tribunal ) and had restrained ( their ) soul from lower Desires. | ||
| 41 | Their abode will be the Garden. | ||
| 42 | They ask thee about the Hour 'When will be its appointed time?' | ||
| 43 | Wherein art thou ( concerned ) with the declaration thereof?. | ||
| 44 | With they Lord is the Limit fixed therefor. | ||
| 45 | Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it. | ||
| 46 | The Day they see it ( it will be ) as if they had tarried but a single evening or ( at most till ) the following morn! | ||
