English - Chapter 79 - An-Naziat

By those who tear it out with violence

By those who gently draw it out

And by those who glide along

Then press forward as in a race

And plan to do it

One day all that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion

Followed by repeated commotions

Hearts that day will be in agitation

Their eyes will be caste down

They say, “What, will we indeed be returned to our former state

“What, when we will have become decayed bones?”

They say, “It would, in that case, be a return with loss.”

But indeed, it will be but a single cry

When behold, they will be in the awakening

Has the story of Moses reached you

Behold, your Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa

“Go to Pharaoh, for he has indeed transgressed all bounds

“And say to him, ‘Do you want to be purified

“And that I guide you to your Lord, so you can fear Him?”

Then Moses showed him the great sign

But he rejected it and did not follow

Further, he turned his back, striving hard

Then he gathered them and made a proclamation

Saying, “I am your Lord, Most High”

But God punished him, and made an example of him, in the hereafter, and in the present life

Indeed in this is an instructive warning for whoever is conscious of God

What, are you more difficult to create or the heaven? God has constructed it

And on high has He raised its canopy, and He has given it order and perfection

Its night does He endow with darkness, and its splendor does He bring out

And the earth, moreover, has He extended

He draws out from there its moisture and its pasture

And the mountains has He firmly fixed

For use and convenience for you and your livestock

Therefore, when there comes the great overwhelming event

The day when humanity will remember all that they strove for

And hellfire will be placed in full view, for all to see

Then for those who transgressed all bounds

And had preferred the life of the present

And for those who had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord, and have restrained their soul from lower desires

Their abode will be the garden

They ask you about the Hour, “When will its appointed time be?”

Are you concerned with the declaration of it

With your Lord is the finale

You are only a warner for those who fear it

The day they see it, it will be as if they had stayed but a single evening, or until the following morn
