Translation of the meaning of the Qur'an By Abdullah Yusuf Ali
 
79 ) Naaze'aat
 
  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!
