English - Chapter 79 - An-Naziat

By those (angels) who violently pull out (the souls of the disbelievers)

by those (angels) who gently draw out (the souls of the believers)

by those (angels) who swim swiftly (through space)

by those (angels) who press forward in a race (to fulfill Allah’s orders)

by those (angels) who arrange to execute the commands (of their Lord)

On the Day when the first blowing of the trumpet will shake (the earth, the mountains, and everybody will die)

On that Day, hearts will beat (with fear and anxiety)

their eyes will be downcast

They (disbelievers) say: “Shall we really be returned to the former state of life

when we will become crumbled bones?”

They say: “In that case, it would be a return with loss!”

But it will be only a single shout (the second blowing of the trumpet)

when they will be awakened (alive after death)

Have you heard the story of Moses

When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa

and said: “Go to Pharaoh, surely he has transgressed all bounds

and say to him: ‘Do you have the desire to purify yourself (from sins)

I will guide you to your Lord, so that you may fear (Him).’”

Then he (Moses) showed him (Pharaoh) the great sign (miracles)

but he (Pharaoh) denied and disobeyed

Then he turned his back and strive (against Allah)

gathered his people and cried aloud

saying: “I am your Lord, most high.”

So Allah seized him with punishment for the Hereafter and this life

Surely, in this, there is an admonition for those who fear (Allah)

Are you (O mankind) more difficult to create or the heaven that He constructed

He raised its canopy and perfected it

He covers its night with darkness and brings out light in its forenoon

And after that, He spreads out the earth

and brings out its water and its pasture from there

fixed the mountains firmly

made a provision and benefit for you and for your cattle

But when the greatest catastrophe (the Day of recompense) will strike

the Day when people will remember what they had striven for

When hellfire shall be made apparent in full view for those who see

then, those who transgressed all bounds (evil deeds)

and preferred the worldly life

surely, will have their abode in hell

But those who feared standing before their Lord and restrained themselves from evil desires

then surely, will have their homes in Paradise

They ask you (O Muhammad) about the Hour: “When will be its appointed time?”

But you have no knowledge to say anything about it

Only your Lord (has knowledge of) the term of it

You (O Muhammad) are only a Warner for those who fear it

On that Day, when they will see it, it will be as if they had not stayed (in this world) only an afternoon or one morning
