English - Chapter 79 - An-Naziat

By the angels who drag forth vehemently

By the angels who release with gentle release

By the angels who glide swimmingiy

And then they speed with foremost speed

And then they manage the affair

A Day shall come whereon the quaking will quake

And there will follow it the next blast

Hearts on that Day will be throbbing

Their looks will be downcast

They say: shall we indeed be restored to the first state

When we have become bones decayed

They say: that then shall be a losing return

It will be only one scaring shout

And lo! they all shall appear on the surface

Hath there come Unto thee the story of Musa

Recall what time his Lord called Unto him in the holy vale of Tuwa

Saying:'go thou Unto Fir'awn; verily he hath waxen exorbitant

Then say thou: 'wouldst thou to be purified

Then shall guide thee Unto thy Lord so that thou shalt fear

Then he shewed him the great sign

Yet he belied and disobeyed

Then he turned back striving

Then he gathered and cried aloud

And he said: I am Your Lord, most high

Wherefore Allah laid hold of him with the punishment of the Hereafter and of the present

Verily herein is lesson for him who feareth

Are ye harder to create or the heaven which He hath builded

He hath raised the height thereof and perfected it

And He made dark its night, and brought forth its sunshine

And the earth!- thereafter He stretched it out

And he brought forth therefrom its water, and its pasture

A provision for you and your cattle

Then when the Grand Calamity shall come

The Day whereon man shall rember whatsoever he had striven for

And the Scorch will be made apparent to any one who beholdeth

Then as for him who waxed exorbitant

And who chose the life of the world

Verily the Scorch! that shall be his resort

And as for him who dreaded standing before his Lord, and restrained his soul from lust

Verily the Garden! -that shall be his resort

They question thee of the Hour:'when will its arrival be

Wherein art thou concerred with the declaration thereof

Unto thy Lord is the Knowledge of the limit fixed therefor

Thou art but a warner Unto him who feareth

On the Day whereon they behold it, it will appear to them as though they had not tarried save an evening or the morn thereof
