Surah “Those Who Drag Forth, Soul-snatchers, Those Who Pulled Out”

as rendered by Bijan Moeinian — 46 verses

God, hereby, swears by those angles that are in charge of violently taking the souls of the disbelievers in the moment of their death
As well as those angles who gently and joyfully take the soul of believers away
And by those who float in inter-galactic spaces
Engaged in a friendly race among themselves
And those who carry out different orders of their Lord
That one day the whole universe will be subject to a big quake
Followed by an after shake
On that day the palpitation of the hearts will be the highest ever due to the fear
And the eyes will be downcast
t that time the disbelievers will say: “Now we believe being called back from our graves is a truth.”
“Who would ever thought that our rotten bones will be re-created again?”
These are those who used to mock at the idea of Resurrection
Know that all that would take for God to resurrect the dead is a snap
And then they are recreated as they were created at first place
Have you ever heard the story of Moses
His Lord called upon him in the sacred valley of Tuwa saying:…
… “Go to Pharaoh; indeed he has rebelled against God by his behavior.”
“Ask him if he has the least desire to purify himself and return to the right path.”
“If so, I will guide you to your Lord Whom…
…. you will be at awe with His Might.”
But Pharaoh did not take advantage of God’s mercy; he rejected Moses’ invitation in disobedience
Then he went back in hurry, …
…assembled his men and said:…
… “I am your lord, the most high.”
Therefore, God punished him in this world and he will be punished in Hereafter
Indeed there is a lesson to be learnt in this story for those who are at awe with the Lord’s Power
Just think for a while. Are you more difficult to create than the universe that God has created
See how high and proportionate your Creator has put a canopy around the earth [reference to the ozone layer]
And observe the light of the day that follows the darkness of the night
Look at the earth which He has spread
See the water which is being re-cycled on earth creating pastures
And the mountains which are firmly established on earth
God has created all these for you and your cattle
Now be mindful of the day that the great disaster that has to come
The day that man will think about what he has provided for Hereafter
This will be the day that Hellfire will be shown to man
And those who rebelled against their Lord’s order,…
and preferred this worldly life,…
will be cast into Hell which will be their home
As for him who minds to face his Lord and,…
… in consequence, shies away from low worldly desires; he will be housed in the gardens of Heaven
O’ Mohammad, they will ask you about when the dooms…
… day that you are talking about will take place
Only your Lord has knowledge about it
You Mohammad, your task is only to warn the one who minds
When the dooms day take place, man will think that it was only a few hours ago that he was enjoying his daily life on earth
