| | Abdul Hye rendition of Surah Those Who Drag Forth, Soul-snatchers, Those Who Pulled Out(an-Nazi`at)
--- |
|---|
| 79:1 | | By those (angels) who violently pull out (the souls of the disbelievers), |
| 79:2 | | by those (angels) who gently draw out (the souls of the believers), |
| 79:3 | | by those (angels) who swim swiftly (through space), |
| 79:4 | | by those (angels) who press forward in a race (to fulfill Allah’s orders), |
| 79:5 | | by those (angels) who arrange to execute the commands (of their Lord). |
| 79:6 | | On the Day when the first blowing of the trumpet will shake (the earth, the mountains, and everybody will die), |
| 79:7 | | the second blowing of the trumpet will follow it (everybody will raise up). |
| 79:8 | | On that Day, hearts will beat (with fear and anxiety), |
| 79:9 | | their eyes will be downcast. |
| 79:10 | | They (disbelievers) say: “Shall we really be returned to the former state of life, |
| 79:11 | | when we will become crumbled bones?” |
| 79:12 | | They say: “In that case, it would be a return with loss!” |
| 79:13 | | But it will be only a single shout (the second blowing of the trumpet), |
| 79:14 | | when they will be awakened (alive after death). |
| 79:15 | | Have you heard the story of Moses? |
| 79:16 | | When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa, |
| 79:17 | | and said: “Go to Pharaoh, surely he has transgressed all bounds, |
| 79:18 | | and say to him: ‘Do you have the desire to purify yourself (from sins)? |
| 79:19 | | I will guide you to your Lord, so that you may fear (Him).’” |
| 79:20 | | Then he (Moses) showed him (Pharaoh) the great sign (miracles), |
| 79:21 | | but he (Pharaoh) denied and disobeyed. |
| 79:22 | | Then he turned his back and strive (against Allah), |
| 79:23 | | gathered his people and cried aloud, |
| 79:24 | | saying: “I am your Lord, most high.” |
| 79:25 | | So Allah seized him with punishment for the Hereafter and this life. |
| 79:26 | | Surely, in this, there is an admonition for those who fear (Allah). |
| 79:27 | | Are you (O mankind) more difficult to create or the heaven that He constructed? |
| 79:28 | | He raised its canopy and perfected it, |
| 79:29 | | He covers its night with darkness and brings out light in its forenoon. |
| 79:30 | | And after that, He spreads out the earth, |
| 79:31 | | and brings out its water and its pasture from there, |
| 79:32 | | fixed the mountains firmly, |
| 79:33 | | made a provision and benefit for you and for your cattle. |
| 79:34 | | But when the greatest catastrophe (the Day of recompense) will strike, |
| 79:35 | | the Day when people will remember what they had striven for. |
| 79:36 | | When hellfire shall be made apparent in full view for those who see, |
| 79:37 | | then, those who transgressed all bounds (evil deeds |
| 79:38 | | and preferred the worldly life, |
| 79:39 | | surely, will have their abode in hell. |
| 79:40 | | But those who feared standing before their Lord and restrained themselves from evil desires, |
| 79:41 | | then surely, will have their homes in Paradise. |
| 79:42 | | They ask you (O Muhammad) about the Hour: “When will be its appointed time?” |
| 79:43 | | But you have no knowledge to say anything about it. |
| 79:44 | | Only your Lord (has knowledge of) the term of it. |
| 79:45 | | You (O Muhammad) are only a Warner for those who fear it. |
| 79:46 | | On that Day, when they will see it, it will be as if they had not stayed (in this world) only an afternoon or one morning. |
