By those (angels) who pull out (the souls of the disbelievers and the wicked) with great violence;
QURAN 79:1
By those (angels) who gently take out (the souls of the believers);
QURAN 79:2
And by those that swim along (i.e. angels or planets in their orbits, etc.).
QURAN 79:3
And by those that press forward as in a race (i.e. the angels or stars or the horses, etc.).
QURAN 79:4
And by those angels who arrange to do the Commands of their Lord, (so verily, you disbelievers will be called to account).
QURAN 79:5
On the Day (when the first blowing of the Trumpet is blown), the earth and the mountains will shake violently (and everybody will die),
QURAN 79:6
The second blowing of the Trumpet follows it (and everybody will be raised up),
QURAN 79:7
(Some) hearts that Day will shake with fear and anxiety.
QURAN 79:8
Their eyes cast down.
QURAN 79:9
They say: "Shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state of life?
QURAN 79:10
"Even after we are crumbled bones?"
QURAN 79:11
They say: "It would in that case, be a return with loss!"
QURAN 79:12
But only, it will be a single Zajrah [shout (i.e., the second blowing of the Trumpet)]. (See Verse 37:19).
QURAN 79:13
When, behold, they find themselves over the earth alive after their death,
QURAN 79:14
Has there come to you the story of Musa (Moses)?
QURAN 79:15
When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,
QURAN 79:16
Go to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism, disbelief, etc.).
QURAN 79:17
And say to him: "Would you purify yourself (from the sin of disbelief by becoming a believer)",
QURAN 79:18
And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him?
QURAN 79:19
Then [Musa (Moses)] showed him the great sign (miracles).
QURAN 79:20
But [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] belied and disobeyed;
QURAN 79:21
Then he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).
QURAN 79:22
Then he gathered his people and cried aloud,
QURAN 79:23
Saying: "I am your lord, most high",
QURAN 79:24
So Allah, seized him with punishment for his last [i.e. his saying: "I am your lord, most high") (see Verse 79:24)] and first [(i.e. his saying, "O chiefs! I know not that you have a god other than I" (see Verse 28:38)] transgression.
QURAN 79:25
Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allah.
QURAN 79:26
Are you more difficult to create, or is the heaven that He constructed?
QURAN 79:27
He raised its height, and He has equally ordered it,
QURAN 79:28
Its night He covers with darkness, and its forenoon He brings out (with light).
QURAN 79:29
And after that He spread the earth;
QURAN 79:30
And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture;
QURAN 79:31
And the mountains He has fixed firmly;
QURAN 79:32
(To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.
QURAN 79:33
But when there comes the greatest catastrophe (i.e. the Day of Recompense, etc.),
QURAN 79:34
The Day when man shall remember what he strove for,
QURAN 79:35
And Hell-fire shall be made apparent in full view for (every) one who sees,
QURAN 79:36
Then, for him who Tagha (transgressed all bounds, in disbelief, oppression and evil deeds of disobedience to Allah).
QURAN 79:37
And preferred the life of this world (by following his evil desires and lusts),
QURAN 79:38
Verily, his abode will be Hell-fire;
QURAN 79:39
But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil desires, and lusts.
QURAN 79:40
Verily, Paradise will be his abode.
QURAN 79:41
They ask you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) about the Hour, - when will be its appointed time?
QURAN 79:42
You have no knowledge to say anything about it,
QURAN 79:43
To your Lord belongs (the knowledge of) the term thereof?
QURAN 79:44
You (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) are only a warner for those who fear it,
QURAN 79:45
The Day they see it, (it will be) as if they had not tarried (in this world) except an afternoon or a morning.
