I swear by those (angels) who pull out (the souls of the infidels) with extreme force
and by those (angels) who untie the knot (of the souls of the believers) smoothly
and by those who float (in the atmosphere) swiftly
then proceed forward quickly
then manage (to do) everything (they are ordered to do,
(you will be resurrected) on the Day when the shocking event (i.e. the first blowing of the trumpet) will shock (everything)
followed by the next one (i.e. the second blowing of the trumpet.
On that day, hearts (of people) will be throbbing
with their eyes downcast
They (the infidels) say, .Are we going to be brought back to our former state (of Life)
Is it when we are turned into decayed bones?
They say, .If so, that will be a harmful homecoming
In fact, it will be only a single harsh voice
and in no time they will be (brought) into the plain (of Hashr)
Has there come to you the narrative about Musa
(Recall) when his Lord called to him in the blessed valley of Tuwa
.Go to Fir‘aun (Pharaoh). Indeed, he has crossed all bounds
And say (to him,) ‘Would you like to purify yourself
and that I should guide you to your Lord, so that you fear (Him)?‘
So, he (Musa) showed him the biggest sign
But he rejected and disobeyed
then he turned back, and tried hard (to refute the Messenger)
then he gathered (his people) and shouted
and said, .I am your supreme lord
So, Allah seized him for an exemplary punishment in the Hereafter and the present world
Indeed, there is a lesson for him who fears (Allah)
Is your creation more difficult or that of the sky? He has built it
He has raised its height, then made it proper
and darkened its night, and brought forth its daylight
and, after that, He spread out the earth
From it, He brought out its water and its meadows
and firmly fixed the mountains
(all this) as a benefit to you and your cattle
So when the Greatest Havoc will take place
on the day when man will recall what he did
and the Hell will be exposed for all who see
then for the one who had rebelled
and preferred the worldly life (to the Hereafter)
the Hell will be the abode
whereas for the one who feared to stand before his Lord, and restrained his self from the (evil) desire
the Paradise will be the abode
They ask you (O Prophet,) about the Hour (the Day of Judgment) as to when it will take place
In which capacity are you to tell this
With your Lord is the final word about it
You are only a warner for anyone who fears it
The day they will see it, it will seem to them as if they did not live (in the world) but only for one afternoon or for the morning thereof
