| | Amatul Rahman Omar rendition of Surah Those Who Drag Forth, Soul-snatchers, Those Who Pulled Out(an-Nazi`at)
--- |

| 79:1 | | I call to witness those groups of beings, who perform their duties (towards their Lord and mankind and themselves) with intense zeal and to the best of their capacity |
| 79:2 | | And those who exert themselves vigorously |
| 79:3 | | And those who steer their course swiftly and skillfully |
| 79:4 | | Then those who going foremost greatly excel (all others and attain the topmost positions) |
| 79:5 | | Then those who administer the affairs in an excellent manner (shall reap the fruit of their striving) |
| 79:6 | | (It shall be) on the day when the quacking (earth) shall quake |
| 79:7 | | Quakes after quakes shall follow this |
| 79:8 | | On that day many hearts will be trembling with fear |
| 79:9 | | Their eyes will be downcast (in disgrace) |
| 79:10 | | (These are the people) who say, `Shall we (really) be restored to (our) former state (after we are dead) |
| 79:11 | | `Shall it be (even) when we are (reduced to) hollow bones? |
| 79:12 | | (And) who say, `Then such a resurrection shall indeed be fraught with loss. |
| 79:13 | | (Let them say what they think,) It will be no more than a single scare blast |
| 79:14 | | And behold! (after that) they will all be (awakened and come out) in the open |
| 79:15 | | The story of Moses has reached you |
| 79:16 | | When his Lord called out to him in the Sacred Valley of Tuwa |
| 79:17 | | (And directed him,) `Go to Pharaoh, he has transgressed all limits |
| 79:18 | | `And say (to him), "Would you like to purify yourself |
| 79:19 | | "That I should guide you to your Lord so that you may stand in awe of Him?" |
| 79:20 | | So (Moses went to Pharaoh and) he showed him the great sign (of the staff) |
| 79:21 | | But he belied (Moses) and disobeyed |
| 79:22 | | Then he turned back striving (and devising schemes against him) |
| 79:23 | | And he gathered (his people) and proclaimed |
| 79:24 | | Saying, `I (- Pharaoh) am your supreme lord. |
| 79:25 | | So Allah seized him for the punishment of (both) the next and the present life |
| 79:26 | | Indeed, there is a lesson in this (event) for him who stands in awe (of his Lord) |
| 79:27 | | (O mankind!) are you harder to be created (again) or the heaven? He (the Almighty Lord) has made it |
| 79:28 | | He has raised the height thereof, and has made it flawlessly perfect and well-balanced |
| 79:29 | | And He gave darkness to its night, and brought forth the morn thereof |
| 79:30 | | And along with it He hurled the earth away (from a bigger mass) and spread it forth |
| 79:31 | | He produced from it its water and pasture |
| 79:32 | | He set the mountains firmly |
| 79:33 | | (He has done all this to serve as) a goodly provisions for you and your cattle |
| 79:34 | | Behold! when that great calamity comes to pass |
| 79:35 | | On that day every person will call to mind all that he strove for |
| 79:36 | | And Hell shall be brought in view of him who sees |
| 79:37 | | Then as for the one who transgresses |
| 79:38 | | And prefers the present life (to the Hereafter) |
| 79:39 | | (Let him remember that) the Hell shall surely be (his) abode |
| 79:40 | | But as for the one who fears to stand before his Lord and restrains himself from evil desires |
| 79:41 | | Then Garden (of bliss) shall surely be (his permanent) abode |
| 79:42 | | The people ask you concerning the Hour (saying), `When shall it come to pass? |
| 79:43 | | Why (do they ask this question)? It is you who are its reminder (you being one of its signs) |
| 79:44 | | The ultimate end of it is decreed by your Lord |
| 79:45 | | You are only a Warner to one who fears it |
| 79:46 | | The day they witness it (-the Hour, they will feel) as if they had stayed (in the world and the grave) for an afternoon or a (short) forenoon thereof |
