In the name of God, most Gracious, most Compassionate

AN-NAZIAT (THOSE WHO DRAG FORTH)

[79.1] By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;
[79.2] By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed);
[79.3] And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy),
[79.4] Then press forward as in a race,
[79.5] Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord),
[79.6] One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,
[79.7] Followed by oft-repeated (commotions):
[79.8] Hearts that Day will be in agitation;
[79.9] Cast down will be (their owners') eyes.
[79.10] They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state?
[79.11] "What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?"
[79.12] They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!"
[79.13] But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry,
[79.14] When, behold, they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment).
[79.15] Has the story of Moses reached thee?
[79.16] Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:-
[79.17] "Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds:
[79.18] "And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)?-
[79.19] "'And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'"
[79.20] Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign.
[79.21] But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance);
[79.22] Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).
[79.23] Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation,
[79.24] Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".
[79.25] But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.
[79.26] Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah).
[79.27] What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it:
[79.28] On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection.
[79.29] Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light).
[79.30] And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);
[79.31] He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;
[79.32] And the mountains hath He firmly fixed;-
[79.33] For use and convenience to you and your cattle.
[79.34] Therefore, when there comes the great, overwhelming (Event),-
[79.35] The Day when man shall remember (all) that he strove for,
[79.36] And Hell-Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see,-
[79.37] Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds,
[79.38] And had preferred the life of this world,
[79.39] The Abode will be Hell-Fire;
[79.40] And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires,
[79.41] Their abode will be the Garden.
[79.42] They ask thee about the Hour,-'When will be its appointed time?
[79.43] Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof?
[79.44] With thy Lord in the Limit fixed therefor.
[79.45] Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it.
[79.46] The Day they see it, (It will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening, or (at most till) the following morn!
