By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;
An-Naziat 1
By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed);
An-Naziat 2
And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy),
An-Naziat 3
Then press forward as in a race,
An-Naziat 4
Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord),
An-Naziat 5
One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,
An-Naziat 6
Followed by oft-repeated (commotions):
An-Naziat 7
Hearts that Day will be in agitation;
An-Naziat 8
Cast down will be (their owners') eyes.
An-Naziat 9
They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state?
An-Naziat 10
"What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?"
An-Naziat 11
They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!"
An-Naziat 12
But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry,
An-Naziat 13
When, behold, they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment).
An-Naziat 14
Has the story of Moses reached thee?
An-Naziat 15
Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:-
An-Naziat 16
"Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds:
An-Naziat 17
"And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)?-
An-Naziat 18
"'And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'"
An-Naziat 19
Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign.
An-Naziat 20
But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance);
An-Naziat 21
Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).
An-Naziat 22
Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation,
An-Naziat 23
Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".
An-Naziat 24
But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.
An-Naziat 25
Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah).
An-Naziat 26
What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it:
An-Naziat 27
On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection.
An-Naziat 28
Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light).
An-Naziat 29
And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);
An-Naziat 30
He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;
An-Naziat 31
And the mountains hath He firmly fixed;-
An-Naziat 32
For use and convenience to you and your cattle.
An-Naziat 33
Therefore, when there comes the great, overwhelming (Event),-
An-Naziat 34
The Day when man shall remember (all) that he strove for,
An-Naziat 35
And Hell-Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see,-
An-Naziat 36
Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds,
An-Naziat 37
And had preferred the life of this world,
An-Naziat 38
The Abode will be Hell-Fire;
An-Naziat 39
And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires,
An-Naziat 40
Their abode will be the Garden.
An-Naziat 41
They ask thee about the Hour,-'When will be its appointed time?
An-Naziat 42
Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof?
An-Naziat 43
With thy Lord in the Limit fixed therefor.
An-Naziat 44
Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it.
An-Naziat 45
The Day they see it, (It will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening, or (at most till) the following morn!
An-Naziat 46
