English - Chapter 79 - An-Naziat

By those who pull out getting drowned (going deep to the last limit)

and those who untie, releasing

and those who are busy moving swiftly

then those who are ahead, being ahead

On the day the quaking one (the earth) will quake

and the succeeding one will follow it

on that day hearts will palpitate

their looks will be cast down

They say, “Shall we be restored to our first state

even when we have become rotten bones?”

They say, “Then this would be a return of loss.”

So it will only be a single shout

when they will be awake

Has the story of Moses come to you

When his Lord called him in the holy valley of Tuwa (saying)

Go to Pharaoh, he has certainly rebelled

then say to him, “ Have you the inclination to purify yourself

and that I should guide you to your Lord, so that you fear (Him)?”

Then he showed him the great sign

but he denied and disobeyed

then he turned away in haste

then he gathered to proclaim

then said, “I am your top most Lord.”

So God caught him for punishment (both in) the later and the former (life)

There is certainly a lesson in that for one who fears

Are you the stronger in creation or the sky which He built

He raised its height and then set it in equilibrium

And He darkened its night and brought out its day light

And He stretched out the earth (drifting the continents apart), after that

brought out from the (earth) its water and its pasture

and He firmly anchored the mountains

A provision for you and for your cattle

So when the great predominating calamity comes

the day man will recollect what he earnestly strove after

And the hell will be made manifest for him who sees

So as for him who rebelled

and preferred the life of this world

then hell will certainly be his home

And as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained himself from evil desire

then the garden will certainly be his home

They ask you about the hour of doom, “When will be its anchorage (time of happening) ?”

In what way are you to discuss it

To your Lord (belongs the knowledge of) the ultimate time of its happening

You are a warner only for him who fears it

The day they see it, for them it will be as if they had not stayed (in their graves or this world) except for an evening or a morning of it
