By those angels who violently pull out the souls of the wrongdoers
and those who gently draw out the souls of the righteous
and those who glide about swiftly through space
then speed headlong to carry out the commands of Allah
and those who regulate the affairs of the world
The Day on which the quake shall cause a violent commotion
which will be followed by another violent commotion
and on that Day, hearts shall be pounding with terror
and sight shall be downcast
The unbelievers say: "Shall we really be restored to our former state (life)
when we shall have become hollow bones?"
They further say: "It would then be a fruitless restoration!"
They should know that it shall be only a single shout
and they will be back to life in open plain
Have you heard the story of Moses
When His Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa
and said: "Go to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds
and tell him, `Have you the desire to purify yourself
If so, I shall guide you towards your Lord, so that you may fear Him.'"
Then Moses showed Pharaoh the mighty sign
but he denied and disobeyed
Then he quickly turned back
assembled his people and made a proclamation
I am your lord, the most high
Consequently, Allah seized him for punishment, both in the Hereafter and in this life
Surely in this there is a lesson for the Godfearing
O mankind, is your creation harder than the heaven that He built
He raised its canopy and fashioned it to perfection
He gave darkness to the night and brightness to the day
After that He spread out the earth
then from it He brought forth its water and its pasture
set its mountains
and made them beneficial for you and your cattle
When the great disaster will strike
the Day when man will call to mind all that he had striven for
When hell shall be placed in full view of all
then he who had rebelle
and preferred the life of this world
shall have his abode in hell
But he who had feared standing before his Lord and curbed his evil desire
shall have his home in paradise
They ask you about the hour: "When will it come?"
But it is not for you to know or tell its timing
Only your Lord knows when it will come
You are but a Warner to him who fears it
On that Day when they shall see it, they shall feel as if they had stayed in this world only one evening or one morning
