|---|
| 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 |
