| | Ahmed Ali rendition of Surah Those Who Drag Forth, Soul-snatchers, Those Who Pulled Out(an-Nazi`at)
--- |
|---|
| 79:1 | | I CALL TO WITNESS those who dive and drag |
| 79:2 | | And those who undo the bonds gently |
| 79:3 | | And those who glide swimmingly |
| 79:4 | | Then outpace the others swiftl |
| 79:5 | | And direct affairs by command |
| 79:6 | | The day the convulsive (first blast) shatters convulsivel |
| 79:7 | | Followed by the second blast |
| 79:8 | | Hearts will pound loudly on that day |
| 79:9 | | Eyes be lowered in submission |
| 79:10 | | They say: "Shall we go back to our original stat |
| 79:11 | | After having turned to carious bones?" |
| 79:12 | | They say: "Then this returning will be a dead loss." |
| 79:13 | | It will only be a single blast |
| 79:14 | | And they will wake up suddenly |
| 79:15 | | Has the story of Moses come to yo |
| 79:16 | | When his Lord called to him in Tuwa's holy vale |
| 79:17 | | "Go to the Pharaoh who has become refractory |
| 79:18 | | And say: 'Would you like to grow (in virtue) |
| 79:19 | | Then I will guide you to your Lord that you may come to fear Him.'" |
| 79:20 | | So he showed him the greater sign |
| 79:21 | | But (the Pharaoh) disavowed and disobeyed |
| 79:22 | | Then he turned away, deliberating |
| 79:23 | | And assembled (his council) and proclaimed |
| 79:24 | | Saying: "I am alone your lord, the highest of them all." |
| 79:25 | | So God seized him for the punishment of the Hereafter and this world |
| 79:26 | | Truly there is a lesson in this for those who fear (the consequences) |
| 79:27 | | Are you more difficult to create or the heavens? He built it |
| 79:28 | | Raised it high, proportioned it |
| 79:29 | | Gave darkness to its night, and brightness to its day |
| 79:30 | | And afterwards spread out the earth |
| 79:31 | | He brought out its water and its pastures from it |
| 79:32 | | And stabilized the mountain |
| 79:33 | | As convenience for you and your cattle |
| 79:34 | | When the great calamity comes |
| 79:35 | | The day when man remembers all that he had done |
| 79:36 | | And Hell made visible to him who can see |
| 79:37 | | Then he who had been rebelliou |
| 79:38 | | And who preferred the life of the world |
| 79:39 | | Will surely have Hell for his abode |
| 79:40 | | But he who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained his self from vain desires |
| 79:41 | | Will surely have Paradise for abode |
| 79:42 | | They ask you: "When will the Hour be? When is its time fixed?" |
| 79:43 | | What do you have to do with explaining it |
| 79:44 | | The extent of its knowledge goes to your Lord |
| 79:45 | | Your duty is only to warn him who fears it |
| 79:46 | | The day they see it, it will seem they had stayed in the world but only an evening or its turning into dawn |
