English - Chapter 79 - An-Naziat

By those who pluck out harshly

and those who draw out gently

and those who glide serenely

and those who outrun easily

and those who direct affairs

On the Day the first blast shudders

and the second blast follows it

hearts that Day will be pounding

and eyes will be cast down

They will say, ´Are we to be restored to how we were

when we have become perished, worm-eaten bones?´

They say, ´That will clearly be a losing restoration!´

There will be but one Great Blast

and at once they will be on the surface, wide awake

Has the story of Musa reached you

when his Lord called out to him in the holy valley of Tuwa

´Go to Pharaoh — he has overstepped the limits —

and say: "Do you resolve to purify yourself

I will guide you to your Lord so that you may fear Him?"´

But he denied it and disobeyed

and then he hastily backed away

But then he rallied and called out

saying, ´I am your Lord Most High!´

So Allah made an example of him seizing him with punishment in the next World and this world

There is certainly instruction in that for those who fear

Are you stronger in structure or is heaven? He built it

He raised its vault high and made it level

He darkened its night and brought forth its morning light

After that He smoothed out the earth

and brought forth from it its water and its pastureland

and made the mountains firm

for you and for your livestock to enjoy

When the Great Calamity comes

that Day man will remember what he has striven for

and the Blazing Fire will be displayed for all who can see

As for him who overstepped the bounds

and preferred the life of this world

the Blazing Fire will be his refuge

But as for him who feared the Station of his Lord and forbade the lower self its appetites

the Garden will be his refuge

They ask you about the Hour: ´When will it come?´

What are you doing mentioning it

Its coming is your Lord´s affair

You are only the warner of those who fear it

On the Day they see it, it will be as if they had only lingered for the evening or the morning of a single day
