English - Chapter 79 - An-Naziat

By the angels who violently tear-out the souls of the disbelievers from their bodies

by the angels who gently release the souls of the believers

by the angels who float (in the heavens by the will of God)

by the angels who hasten along

and by the angels who regulate the affairs, (you will certainly be resurrected)

On the day when the first trumpet sound blasts

and will be followed by the second one

hearts will undergo terrible trembling

and eyes will be humbly cast down

(The disbelievers) say, "Shall we be brought back to life again

after we have become bones and dust

They have said, "Such a resurrection will certainly be a great loss

However, it will only take a single blast

to bring them out of their graves and back to life on the earth's surface

(Muhammad), have you heard the story of Moses

when his Lord called him in the holy valley of Tuwa

saying, "Go to the Pharaoh. He has transgressed beyond all bounds

And say to him, "Would you like to reform yourself

I shall guide you to your Lord so that you may perhaps have fear of Him

Moses showed him the great miracle

but the Pharaoh rejected it and disobeyed (Moses)

Then he turned away in a hurry

and gathered his people together

saying, "I am your supreme lord

So God struck him with the torment of this life and the life hereafter

In this there is a lesson for those who have fear of God

(People), is your creation harder for God than that of the heavens, which He created, raised and established

high above

He has made its nights dark and its days bright

After this, He spread out the earth

produced water and grass therefrom

then set-up firmly the mountains

All this was done as a means of enjoyment for you and your cattle

On the day when the great calamity comes

the human being will recall whatever he has done

Hell fire will become visible for those who would see it

Those who have rebelled

and preferred the worldly life

hell will be their dwelling

However, those who had feared their Lord and restrained their souls from acting according to its desires

Paradise will be the dwelling

(Muhammad), they ask you, "When will the Hour of Doom come

(Muhammad), you do not know (when and how) it will come

This matter is in the hands of your Lord

You are only a warner for those who fear such a day

On the day when they see it, it will seem to them as though they had only lived in the world for a morning and an afternoon
