| 1. * | By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence; |
| 2. * | By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed); |
| 3. * | And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy), |
| 4. * | Then press forward as in a race, |
| 5. * | Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord), |
| 6. * | One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion, |
| 7. * | Followed by oft-repeated (commotions): |
| 8. * | Hearts that Day will be in agitation; |
| 9. * | Cast down will be (their owners') eyes. |
| 10. * | They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state? |
| 11. * | "What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?" |
| 12. * | They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!" |
| 13. * | But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry, |
| 14. * | When, behold, they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment). |
| 15. * | Has the story of Moses reached thee? |
| 16. * | Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:- |
| 17. * | "Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds: |
| 18. * | "And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)?- |
| 19. * | "'And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'" |
| 20. * | Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign. |
| 21. * | But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance); |
| 22. * | Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah). |
| 23. * | Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation, |
| 24. * | Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High". |
| 25. * | But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life. |
| 26. * | Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah). |
| 27. * | What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it: |
| 28. * | On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection. |
| 29. * | Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light). |
| 30. * | And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse); |
| 31. * | He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture; |
| 32. * | And the mountains hath He firmly fixed;- |
| 33. * | For use and convenience to you and your cattle. |
| 34. * | Therefore, when there comes the great, overwhelming (Event),- |
| 35. * | The Day when man shall remember (all) that he strove for, |
| 36. * | And Hell-Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see,- |
| 37. * | Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds, |
| 38. * | And had preferred the life of this world, |
| 39. * | The Abode will be Hell-Fire; |
| 40. * | And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires, |
| 41. * | Their abode will be the Garden. |
| 42. * | They ask thee about the Hour,-'When will be its appointed time? |
| 43. * | Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof? |
| 44. * | With thy Lord in the Limit fixed therefor. |
| 45. * | Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it. |
| 46. * | The Day they see it, (It will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening, or (at most till) the following morn! |
