79:1
By the wresters, [wresting] with total claim
79:2
By the energizers, imparting vigor
79:3
By the buoyant forces, holding aloft
79:4
And by the precedents, having preceded
79:5
And by the ushering agents, [ushering] a command
79:6
On a day, the tremor will shock,
79:7
The aftershock following it.
79:8
Hearts that day, throbbing
79:9
their sights humbled.
79:10
They [now] say, “Will we be necessarily turned back into the original state?
79:11
Even when we have become crumbled bones?”
79:12
They had said: “That then would be a losing redo.”
79:13
Whereas, it is only a single reprimand,
79:14
then promptly they will be in full wakefulness
79:15
Has a telling of Moses come to
you?
79:16
When
HIS Rabb called him in the sacred valley of
Tuwa,
79:17
“Go to Pharaoh, he indeed has transgressed all bounds—
79:18
Then say, ‘Are you inclined to purifying yourself?
79:19
And my guiding you toward your
Rabb, so you acquire awe.’”
79:20
Then, he showed him the transcendent sign.
79:21
Whereupon he dismissed it as a lie and renounced,
79:22
then he turned his back, purposefully hurrying
79:23
Then he assembled [his team], and gave a wider call—
79:24
And so, he said, “I am your supreme lord.”
79:25
So, Allah seized him, in an exemplary punishment of the last and the first [of his transgressions].
79:26
Behold in that is a clear lesson for one in awe [of God].
79:27
Are you a stronger creation or the sky?
HE built it,
79:28
HE raised its dome and then perfected it.
79:29
HE made dark its night and brought forth its light of day.
79:30
And the earth after that—
HE spread her out
79:31
HE drew out her water from her, and her pasture
79:32
And the mountains—
HE anchored them—
79:33
[All] as temporal provisions for you and your livestock.
79:34
Then when the great overwhelming calamity is on hand
79:35
on a day when man remembers what he had pursued
79:36
and
Jaḥīm is brought into view for whoever is to see.
79:37
Thereupon as for one who transgressed,
79:38
while he prioritized the earthly life—
79:39
Then surely,
Jaḥīm is the lodging.
79:40
And as for one who feared the standing of his
Rabb, and restrained the self from capricious desires—
79:41
Then surely, Paradise is the lodging.
79:42
They ask
you about the hour: “When is its mooring?”
79:43
In what aspect of its reminder are you [in charge]?
79:44
Unto
your Rabb is its culmination.
79:45
You are only a warner to one in awe of it
79:46
On the day they see it, it will be to them as if they had tarried not except an evening or its forenoon.
