1. |
I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
|
|
2. |
And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
|
|
3. |
And by those who float in space,
|
|
4. |
Then those who are foremost going ahead,
|
|
5. |
Then those who regulate the affair.
|
|
6. |
The day on which the quaking one shall quake,
|
|
7. |
What must happen afterwards shall follow it.
|
|
8. |
Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
|
|
9. |
Their eyes cast down.
|
|
10. |
They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?
|
|
11. |
What! when we are rotten bones?
|
|
12. |
They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.
|
|
13. |
But it shall be only a single cry,
|
|
14. |
When lo! they shall be wakeful.
|
|
15. |
Has not there come to you the story of Musa?
|
|
16. |
When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,
|
|
17. |
Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.
|
|
18. |
Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:
|
|
19. |
And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.
|
|
20. |
So he showed him the mighty sign.
|
|
21. |
But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.
|
|
22. |
Then he went back hastily.
|
|
23. |
Then he gathered (men) and called out.
|
|
24. |
Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.
|
|
25. |
So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.
|
|
26. |
Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.
|
|
27. |
Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.
|
|
28. |
He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.
|
|
29. |
And He made dark its night and brought out its light.
|
|
30. |
And the earth, He expanded it after that.
|
|
31. |
He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.
|
|
32. |
And the mountains, He made them firm,
|
|
33. |
A provision for you and for your cattle.
|
|
34. |
But when the great predominating calamity comes;
|
|
35. |
The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,
|
|
36. |
And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees
|
|
37. |
Then as for him who is inordinate,
|
|
38. |
And prefers the life of this world,
|
|
39. |
Then surely the hell, that is the abode.
|
|
40. |
And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,
|
|
41. |
Then surely the garden-- that is the abode.
|
|
42. |
They ask you about the hour, when it will come.
|
|
43. |
About what! You are one to remind of it.
|
|
44. |
To your Lord is the goal of it.
|
|
45. |
You are only a warner to him who would fear it.
|
|
46. |
On the day that they see it, it will be as though they had not tarried but the latter part of a day or the early part of it. |
