English - Chapter 79 - An-Naziat

By those angels who DRAG FORTH souls with violence

And by those who with joyous release release them

By those who swim swimmingly along

By those who are foremost with foremost speed

By those who conduct the affairs of the universe

One day, the disturbing trumpet-blast shall disturb it

Which the second blast shall follow

Men's hearts on that day shall quake

Their looks be downcast

The infidels will say, "Shall we indeed be restored as at first

What! when we have become rotten bones

This then," say they, "will be a return to loss

Verily, it will be but a single blast

And lo! they are on the surface of the earth

Hath the story of Moses reached thee

When his Lord called to him in Towa's holy vale

Go to Pharaoh, for he hath burst all bounds

And say, "Wouldest thou become just

Then I will guide thee to thy Lord that thou mayest fear him

And he showed him a great miracle

But he treated him as an impostor, and rebelled

Then turned he his back all hastily

And gathered an assembly and proclaimed

And said, "I am your Lord supreme

So God visited on him the punishment of this life and of the other

Verily, herein is a lesson for him who hath the fear of God

Are ye the harder to create, or the heaven which he hath built

He reared its height and fashioned it

And gave darkness to its night, and brought out its light

And afterwards stretched forth the earth

He brought forth from it its waters and its pastures

And set the mountains firm

For you and your cattle to enjoy

But when the grand overthrow shall come

The day when a man shall reflect on the pains that he hath taken

And Hell shall be in full view of all who are looking on

Then, as for him who hath transgressed

And hath chosen this present life

Verily, Hell - that shall be his dwelling-place

Verily, Paradise - that shall be his dwelling-place

They will ask thee of "the Hour," when will be its fixed time

But what knowledge hast thou of it

Its period is known only to thy Lord

And thou art only charged with the warning of those who fear it

On the day when they shall see it, it shall seem to them as though they had not tarried in the tomb, longer than its evening or its morn
