| | Hamid S. Aziz rendition of Surah Those Who Drag Forth, Soul-snatchers, Those Who Pulled Out(an-Nazi`at)

| 79:1 | | I swear by (or call to witness) those who tear out to destruction |
| 79:2 | | And by those rushing |
| 79:3 | | And by those who float |
| 79:4 | | Then press forward as in a race |
| 79:5 | | And those who regulate affairs |
| 79:6 | | The day on which the first trump resounds (or that which can quake shall quake) |
| 79:7 | | And others follow it |
| 79:8 | | Hearts on that day shall palpitate |
| 79:9 | | While eyes are cast down |
| 79:10 | | They say, "Shall we indeed be restored to our first state |
| 79:11 | | "What! When we are rotten bones?" |
| 79:12 | | They said, "That then would be a return, causing loss." |
| 79:13 | | But it shall be only a single cry |
| 79:14 | | When lo! They will be fully awake |
| 79:15 | | Has not there come to you the story of Moses |
| 79:16 | | When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley of Tuwa |
| 79:17 | | (Saying,) "Go to Pharaoh, surely he has transgressed beyond bounds." |
| 79:18 | | Then say, "Have you a desire to purify yourself |
| 79:19 | | "And I will guide you to your Lord so that you may fear." |
| 79:20 | | So he showed him the Mighty Sign |
| 79:21 | | But he (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed |
| 79:22 | | Then turned he away (from Allah) in haste |
| 79:23 | | Then he gathered (men) and made a proclamation |
| 79:24 | | Saying, "I am your Lord, the most high." |
| 79:25 | | So Allah seized him with the punishment of the Hereafter and the former life |
| 79:26 | | Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears |
| 79:27 | | Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He created it |
| 79:28 | | He raised high its height, and gave it order and perfection |
| 79:29 | | And He made dark its night and its splendour does He bring out with light |
| 79:30 | | And after that He expanded (spread) the earth |
| 79:31 | | He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage |
| 79:32 | | And the mountains, He made them firm |
| 79:33 | | A provision for you and for your cattle |
| 79:34 | | But when the great overwhelming calamity comes |
| 79:35 | | The Day on which man shall recollect all he strove after |
| 79:36 | | And Hell shall be made manifest to him who see |
| 79:37 | | Then for him who has transgressed all bounds |
| 79:38 | | And prefers the life of this world |
| 79:39 | | Surely, Hell will be his abode |
| 79:40 | | And as for him who had feared standing in the presence of his Lord and restrains his soul from lust (or low desires) |
| 79:41 | | Then surely the Garden, that is his abode |
| 79:42 | | They ask you (Muhammad) about the Hour, when it will come |
| 79:43 | | "What," ask they, "have you to say about it?" |
| 79:44 | | To your Lord belongs the knowledge of it |
| 79:45 | | you are only a Warner to him who would fear it |
| 79:46 | | On the day that they behold it, it will be as though they had not tarried but an evening or the morning |
