| In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
|
| 1.
| 
By those (angels) who pull out (the souls of the disbelievers
and the wicked) with great violence; |
| 2.
| 
By those (angels) who gently take out (the souls of
the believers); |
| 3.
| 
And by those that swim along (i.e. angels or planets
in their orbits, etc.). |
| 4.
| 
And by those that press forward as in a race (i.e. the
angels or stars or the horses, etc.). |
| 5.
| 
And by those angels who arrange to do the Commands of
their Lord, (so verily, you disbelievers will be called to account). |
| 6.
| 
On the Day (when the first blowing of the Trumpet is
blown), the earth and the mountains will shake violently (and
everybody will die), |
| 7.
| 
The second blowing of the Trumpet follows it (and everybody
will be raised up), |
| 8.
| 
(Some) hearts that Day will shake with fear and anxiety. |
| 9.
| 
Their eyes cast down. |
| 10.
| 
They say: "Shall we indeed be returned to (our)
former state of life? |
| 11.
| 
"Even after we are crumbled bones?" |
| 12.
| 
They say: "It would in that case, be a return
with loss!" |
| 13.
| 
But only, it will be a single Zajrah [shout
(i.e., the second blowing of the Trumpet)]. (See Verse 37:19). |
| 14.
| 
When, behold, they find themselves over the earth alive
after their death, |
| 15.
| 
Has there come to you the story of Mûsa (Moses)? |
| 16.
| 
When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tûwa, |
| 17.
| 
Go to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed
all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism, disbelief, etc.). |
| 18.
| 
And say to him: "Would you purify yourself (from
the sin of disbelief by becoming a believer)", |
| 19.
| 
And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear
Him? |
| 20.
| 
Then [Mûsa (Moses)] showed him the great sign
(miracles). |
| 21.
| 
But [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] belied and disobeyed; |
| 22.
| 
Then he turned his back, striving hard (against Allâh). |
| 23.
| 
Then he gathered his people and cried aloud, |
| 24.
| 
Saying: "I am your lord, most high", |
| 25.
| 
So Allâh, seized him with punishment for his
last [i.e. his saying: "I am your lord, most high")
(see Verse 79:24)] and first [(i.e. his saying, "O chiefs!
I know not that you have a god other than I" (see Verse 28:38)]
transgression. |
| 26.
| 
Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever
fears Allâh. |
| 27.
| 
Are you more difficult to create, or is the heaven
that He constructed? |
| 28.
| 
He raised its height, and He has equally ordered it, |
| 29.
| 
Its night He covers with darkness, and its forenoon
He brings out (with light). |
| 30.
| 
And after that He spread the earth; |
| 31.
| 
And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture; |
| 32.
| 
And the mountains He has fixed firmly; |
| 33.
| 
(To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle. |
| 34.
| 
But when there comes the greatest catastrophe (i.e.
the Day of Recompense, etc.), |
| 35.
| 
The Day when man shall remember what he strove for, |
| 36.
| 
And Hell-fire shall be made apparent in full view for
(every) one who sees, |
| 37.
| 
Then, for him who Taghâ (transgressed
all bounds, in disbelief, oppression and evil deeds of disobedience
to Allâh). |
| 38.
| 
And preferred the life of this world (by following
his evil desires and lusts), |
| 39.
| 
Verily, his abode will be Hell-fire; |
| 40.
| 
But as for him who feared standing before his Lord,
and restrained himself from impure evil desires, and lusts. |
| 41.
| 
Verily, Paradise will be his abode. |
| 42.
| 
They ask you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) about
the Hour, - when will be its appointed time? |
| 43.
| 
You have no knowledge to say anything about it, |
| 44.
| 
To your Lord belongs (the knowledge of) the term thereof? |
| 45.
| 
You (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) are only a warner
for those who fear it, |
| 46.
| 
The Day they see it, (it will be) as if they had not
tarried (in this world) except an afternoon or a morning. |
