Surah An-Nāziʻāt
In The Name Of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
By those (angels) who pull out (the souls of the disbelievers and the wicked) with great violence; (Quran Surah An-Nāziʻāt 79:1)
By those (angels) who gently take out (the souls of the believers); (Quran Surah An-Nāziʻāt 79:2)
And by those that swim along (i.e. angels or planets in their orbits, etc.). (Quran Surah An-Nāziʻāt 79:3)
And by those that press forward as in a race (i.e. the angels or stars or the horses, etc.). (Quran Surah An-Nāziʻāt 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 Surah An-Nāziʻāt 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 Surah An-Nāziʻāt 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. (Quran 79:46)
