Act as a witness those who detach with full force (the soul of a transgressing person from his physical body)
Act as a witness those who release gently (the soul of a righteous person from his physical body)
So (also) those who swim, swimming swiftly (in space)
So (also) those who race on as if in a race (when moving in space)
So (also) those who direct and administer the command of their Nourisher-Sustainer
The Day the first blast shivers
The one coming later (i.e., the 2nd blowing in the Trumpet) follows it
Hearts (of the disbelievers and hypocrites) that Day are such which are in fear and anxiety
Their eyes adopting castdown position
They say: “Shall indeed, we be surely those who have been returned back to the ditch of the earth? [The first blowing of the Trumpet makes every body dead; the 2nd blowing which follows it, revives the dead. The dead when revived from their burial places are confused and agitated. Out of fear and anxiety they utter these statements]
What! Even when we are bones, rotten and decomposed?”
They said: “This then would be a return of evident loss.”
So surely what (is a fact is that) this is a strongly delivered warning, only one
So when they are in a vast open land (revived from their dead state, how will they face the Accountability)
Has the Hadees of Musa reached you
When his Nourisher-Sustainer called out to him within the Sacred Valley, Tuwa
(Allah directed him): “Proceed to Firaun! Certainly, he has transgressed beyond bounds
Then say (to Firaun who thinks he is a god in himself): Is that (possible) for you (that you turn) towards (Allah) that you sanctify (yourself of disbelief, polytheism and transgression)
And I (as a Prophet of Allah) shall guide you to your Nourisher-Sustainer, so you shall realise His Position.'”
Then (Musa) showed the great sign
But (Firaun) belied and became arrogant
Then he about-turned: he moves (away) quickly
Then he gathered (his forces and people) and loudly declared
Then he said: “I am rabb unto you (all), the higher one!”
So Allah seized him in a severe punishment of the Hereafter and of the ‘earlier one’ (i.e., of the present world)
Verily, in that is indeed an instructive lesson for that who realises the Position (of Allah)
Are you (O mankind!) a more difficult (task) for creation or the heaven which He constructed
He raised its height, so He shaped it in proportion
And He covered its night (with darkness) and brought forth its forenoon (as evidently shining)
And the earth, after this stage, He gave it an oval form
He brought forth therefrom a portion of its water and its pasture
And the mountains: He made them firmly fixed
(All this He arranged) as a provision for you; and for your cattle
So when has already approached the great catastrophe (of the Final Day) —
the Day the human being brings to mind whatever he strove for
And the Hell-Fire is brought to view for that who may see
Then if such who transgressed all bounds
and preferred the life of this immediate world —
then, surely the Hell-Fire — this, (will be) the Final Abode
And if that who fully realised the position of his Nourisher-Sustainer, and restrained the Nafs against vain desires —
then, verily, the Garden of Paradise — this, (will be) the Final Abode
They ask you about the Hour (as to) when will be its appointed time
In what (doubt) you are regarding (the) mention thereof
(Traceable) towards your Nourisher-Sustainer (is) the ultimate knowledge regarding it
Surely, what (is a fact is that) you (are only) a warner (unto) that who takes care of that (and is heedful)
(It is) like this — that they have not stayed except one evening or one forenoon thereof — the day they come across it
