Сура 79.

[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!
