|---|
| 79:1 | | By those who drag forth to destruction |
| 79:2 | | By the meteors rushing |
| 79:3 | | By the lone stars floating |
| 79:4 | | By the angels hastening |
| 79:5 | | And those who govern the event |
| 79:6 | | On the day when the first trump resoundeth |
| 79:7 | | And the second followeth it |
| 79:8 | | On that day hearts beat painfull |
| 79:9 | | While eyes are downcas |
| 79:10 | | (Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first stat |
| 79:11 | | Even after we are crumbled bones |
| 79:12 | | They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding |
| 79:13 | | Surely it will need but one shout |
| 79:14 | | And lo! they will be awakened |
| 79:15 | | Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses |
| 79:16 | | How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa |
| 79:17 | | (Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled |
| 79:18 | | And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace) |
| 79:19 | | Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him) |
| 79:20 | | And he showed him the tremendous token |
| 79:21 | | But he denied and disobeyed |
| 79:22 | | Then turned he away in haste |
| 79:23 | | Then gathered he and summone |
| 79:24 | | And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest." |
| 79:25 | | So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former |
| 79:26 | | Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth |
| 79:27 | | Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built |
| 79:28 | | He raised the height thereof and ordered it |
| 79:29 | | And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof |
| 79:30 | | And after that He spread the earth |
| 79:31 | | And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof |
| 79:32 | | And He made fast the hills |
| 79:33 | | A provision for you and for your cattle |
| 79:34 | | But when the great disaster cometh |
| 79:35 | | The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour |
| 79:36 | | And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth |
| 79:37 | | Then, as for him who rebelle |
| 79:38 | | And chose the life of the world |
| 79:39 | | Lo! hell will be his home |
| 79:40 | | But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust |
| 79:41 | | Lo! the Garden will be his home |
| 79:42 | | They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port |
| 79:43 | | Why (ask they)? What hast thou to tell thereof |
| 79:44 | | Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof |
| 79:45 | | Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it |
| 79:46 | | On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof |
