khalifa
 
1.  *     The (angels who) snatch (the souls of the disbelievers) forcibly.
 
2.  *     And those who gently take (the souls of the believers) joyfully.
 
3.  *     And those floating everywhere.
 
4.  *     Eagerly racing with one another -
 
5.  *     to carry out various commands.
 
6.  *     The day the quake quakes.
 
7.  *     Followed by the second blow.
 
8.  *     Certain minds will be terrified.
 
9.  *     Their eyes will be subdued.
 
10.  *     They will say, "We have been recreated from the grave!
 
11.  *     "How did this happen after we had turned into rotten bones?"
 
12.  *     They had said, "This is an impossible recurrence."
 
13.  *     All it takes is one nudge.
 
14.  *     Whereupon they get up.
 
15.  *     Have you known about the history of Moses?
 
16.  *     His Lord called him at the holy valley of Tuwaa.
 
17.  *     "Go to Pharaoh; he has transgressed."
 
18.  *     Tell him, "Would you not reform?
 
19.  *     "Let me guide you to your Lord, that you may turn reverent."
 
20.  *     He then showed him the great miracle.
 
21.  *     But he disbelieved and rebelled.
 
22.  *     Then he turned away in a hurry.
 
23.  *     He summoned and proclaimed.
 
24.  *     He said, "I am your Lord; most high."
 
25.  *     Consequently, GOD committed him to the retribution in the Hereafter, as well as in the first life.
 
26.  *     This is a lesson for the reverent.
 
27.  *     Are you more difficult to create than the heaven? He constructed it.
 
28.  *     He raised its masses, and perfected it.
 
29.  *     He made its night dark, and brightened its morn.
 
30.  *     He made the earth egg-shaped.
 
31.  *     From it, He produced its own water and pasture.
 
32.  *     He established the mountains.
 
33.  *     All this to provide life support for you and your animals.
 
34.  *     Then, when the great blow comes.
 
35.  *     That is the day when the human will remember everything he did.
 
36.  *     Hell will be brought into existence.
 
37.  *     As for the one who transgressed.
 
38.  *     Who was preoccupied with this life.
 
39.  *     Hell will be the abode.
 
40.  *     As for the one who reverenced the majesty of his Lord, and enjoined the self from sinful lusts.
 
41.  *     Paradise will be the abode.
 
42.  *     They ask you about the Hour, and when it will take place!
 
43.  *     It is not you (Muhammad) who is destined to announce its time.
 
44.  *     Your Lord decides its fate.
 
45.  *     Your mission is to warn those who expect it.
 
46.  *     The day they see it, they will feel as if they lasted one evening or half a day.
