| 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 Moosa (Moses)?
| |
| 16 | When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Toowa,
| |
| 17 | Go to Firaun (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 (Moosa (Moses)) showed him the great sign (miracles).
| |
| 21 | But (Firaun (Pharaoh)) belied and disobeyed;
| |
| 22 | Then he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).
| |
| 23 | Then he gathered his people and cried aloud,
| |
| 24 | Saying: "I am your lord, most high",
| |
| 25 | So Allah, 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 Allah.
| |
| 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 Tagha (transgressed all bounds, in disbelief, oppression and evil deeds of disobedience to Allah).
| |
| 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
| |
