| 1. * | By those angels who violently pull out the souls of the wrongdoers,[1] |
| 2. * | and those who gently draw out the souls of the righteous,[2] |
| 3. * | and those who glide about swiftly through space,[3] |
| 4. * | then speed headlong to carry out the commands of Allah,[4] |
| 5. * | and those who regulate the affairs of the world![5] |
| 6. * | The Day on which the quake shall cause a violent commotion,[6] |
| 7. * | which will be followed by another violent commotion,[7] |
| 8. * | and on that Day, hearts shall be pounding with terror[8] |
| 9. * | and sight shall be downcast.[9] |
| 10. * | The unbelievers say: "Shall we really be restored to our former state (life),[10] |
| 11. * | when we shall have become hollow bones?"[11] |
| 12. * | They further say: "It would then be a fruitless restoration!"[12] |
| 13. * | They should know that it shall be only a single shout,[13] |
| 14. * | and they will be back to life in open plain.[14] |
| 15. * | Have you heard the story of Moses?[15] |
| 16. * | When His Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,[16] |
| 17. * | and said: "Go to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds,[17] |
| 18. * | and tell him, `Have you the desire to purify yourself?[18] |
| 19. * | If so, I shall guide you towards your Lord, so that you may fear Him.'"[19] |
| 20. * | Then Moses showed Pharaoh the mighty sign,[20] |
| 21. * | but he denied and disobeyed.[21] |
| 22. * | Then he quickly turned back,[22] |
| 23. * | assembled his people and made a proclamation;[23] |
| 24. * | I am your lord, the most high.[24] |
| 25. * | Consequently, Allah seized him for punishment, both in the Hereafter and in this life.[25] |
| 26. * | Surely in this there is a lesson for the Godfearing.[26] |
| 27. * | O mankind, is your creation harder than the heaven that He built?[27] |
| 28. * | He raised its canopy and fashioned it to perfection,[28] |
| 29. * | He gave darkness to the night and brightness to the day.[29] |
| 30. * | After that He spread out the earth,[30] |
| 31. * | then from it He brought forth its water and its pasture,[31] |
| 32. * | set its mountains,[32] |
| 33. * | and made them beneficial for you and your cattle.[33] |
| 34. * | When the great disaster will strike,[34] |
| 35. * | the Day when man will call to mind all that he had striven for.[35] |
| 36. * | When hell shall be placed in full view of all,[36] |
| 37. * | then he who had rebelled[37] |
| 38. * | and preferred the life of this world[38] |
| 39. * | shall have his abode in hell.[39] |
| 40. * | But he who had feared standing before his Lord and curbed his evil desires[40] |
| 41. * | shall have his home in paradise.[41] |
| 42. * | They ask you about the hour: "When will it come?"[42] |
| 43. * | But it is not for you to know or tell its timing.[43] |
| 44. * | Only your Lord knows when it will come.[44] |
| 45. * | You are but a Warner to him who fears it.[45] |
| 46. * | On that Day when they shall see it, they shall feel as if they had stayed in this world only one evening or one morning.[46] |
