English - Chapter 79 - An-Naziat

By the ones who tear out vehemently

by the ones who draw out a drawing out

by the ones who are swimmers, swimming

the ones who take the lead, taking the lead

by the ones who manage a command

on a Day when the quake quakes

succeeds the one that comes close behind it

hearts beating painfully on that Day

their sight, that which is humble

They say: Will we be restored to our original state

when we had been crumbled bones

They said: That is a return again of one who is a loser

Truly, there will be but one scare

That is when they would be the ones awakening

Approached thee the discourse of Moses

when his Lord cried out to him in the sanctified valley of Tuwa

Be thou gone to Pharaoh. Truly, he was defiant

And say: Wouldst thou purify thyself

And I will guide thee to thy Lord, then, thou wilt dread Him

And he caused him to see the greater sign

But Pharaoh denied and rebelled

Again, Pharaoh drew back, hastening about

Then, Pharaoh assembled them; then, proclaimed

Then, Pharaoh said: I am your lofty lord

So God took him with an exemplary punishment for the last and for the first

Truly, in that is a lesson for whoever dreads God

Is your constitution harder to create or the heaven which He built

He exalted its vault and shaped it

and He made its night dark and brought out its forenoon

And, after that, He spread out the earth

He brought out from it its water and its pasture

And the mountains He set firm

an enjoyment for you and for your flocks

When the Greater Catastrophe would draw near

on that Day the human being will recollect for what he endeavored

Hellfire will be advanced for whoever sees

As for whoever was defiant

and held this present life in greater favor

then, truly, hellfire will be the place of shelter

And as for him who feared the Station of his Lord and prohibited desire from his soul

truly, the Garden will be the place of shelter

They ask thee about the Hour. When will it berth

Then, what art thou about that thou remind of it

To thy Lord is the Utmost Boundary of it

And thou art only one who warns to such a one whoever dreads it

It will be as though a Day they see it, they linger not in expectation but an evening or a forenoon
