79:1  I swear by (or call to witness) those who tear out to destruction

79:2  And by those rushing

79:3  And by those who float

79:4  Then press forward as in a race

79:5  And those who regulate affairs

79:6  The day on which the first trump resounds (or that which can quake shall quake)

79:7  And others follow it

79:8  Hearts on that day shall palpitate

79:9  While eyes are cast down

79:10  They say, "Shall we indeed be restored to our first state

79:11  "What! When we are rotten bones?"

79:12  They said, "That then would be a return, causing loss."

79:13  But it shall be only a single cry

79:14  When lo! They will be fully awake

79:15  Has not there come to you the story of Moses

79:16  When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley of Tuwa

79:17  (Saying,) "Go to Pharaoh, surely he has transgressed beyond bounds."

79:18  Then say, "Have you a desire to purify yourself

79:19  "And I will guide you to your Lord so that you may fear."

79:20  So he showed him the Mighty Sign

79:21  But he (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed

79:22  Then turned he away (from Allah) in haste

79:23  Then he gathered (men) and made a proclamation

79:24  Saying, "I am your Lord, the most high."

79:25  So Allah seized him with the punishment of the Hereafter and the former life

79:26  Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears

79:27  Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He created it

79:28  He raised high its height, and gave it order and perfection

79:29  And He made dark its night and its splendour does He bring out with light

79:30  And after that He expanded (spread) the earth

79:31  He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage

79:32  And the mountains, He made them firm

79:33  A provision for you and for your cattle

79:34  But when the great overwhelming calamity comes

79:35  The Day on which man shall recollect all he strove after

79:36  And Hell shall be made manifest to him who see

79:37  Then for him who has transgressed all bounds

79:38  And prefers the life of this world

79:39  Surely, Hell will be his abode

79:40  And as for him who had feared standing in the presence of his Lord and restrains his soul from lust (or low desires)

79:41  Then surely the Garden, that is his abode

79:42  They ask you (Muhammad) about the Hour, when it will come

79:43  "What," ask they, "have you to say about it?"

79:44  To your Lord belongs the knowledge of it

79:45  you are only a Warner to him who would fear it

79:46  On the day that they behold it, it will be as though they had not tarried but an evening or the morning
