By those (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence
By those (angels) who gently draw out (the souls of the Blessed)
And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy)
Then press forward as in a race
And those who manage the affair
The Day on which everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion
Followed by another mighty convulsion
Hearts that Day will he in agitation
Cast down will be (their) eyes
They say (now): What! shall we indeed he returned to (our) former state
What! when we shall have become rotten hones
They said: That then will be a losing return
But it shall be only a single blast
When behold they shall be in the awakened state
Has the story of Moses reached you
When his Lord called to him in the holy valley of Tuwa
Go to Pharaoh, surely he has transgressed all bounds
And say to him: `Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin) ?`
`And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear (Him)?
Then did (Moses) show him The Great Sign
But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance)
Further, he turned his back striving hard (against Allah)
Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation
And said: I am your Lord, Most High
So Allah seized him for an exemplary punishment in the Hereafter and in this life
Surely in that is a lesson for him who fears (Allah)
Is the creation of you harder or the heaven He built
He raised its vault and regulated it
And He made dark its night and brought forth its daylight
And the earth, after that He spread it out
He brought forth from it its water and its pasture
And the mountains, He set them firm
For use and convenience to you and your cattle
But when the great calamity comes
That Day man shall remember what he strove for
And Hell-fire shall be manifest for him who sees
Then as for him who transgressed
And had preferred the life of this world
Then surely Hell-fire will he the Abode
And as for him who feared his Lord`s presence and restrained the soul from the low desires
Then surely the Garden will be the Abode
They ask you about the Hour, When will it come to pass
Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof
With thy Lord is the limit fixed therefo
You are but a Warner to him who fears it
It shall seem to them on the day when they behold it, as though they tarried not (in their graves) but an evening or a forenoon
