Surah # 79 - Verses: 1 to 46
"Those Who Drag Forth, Soul-snatchers"
translated by A. Yusefali
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful;
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! |
