79-1 : By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;

79-2 : By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed);

79-3 : And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy),

79-4 : Then press forward as in a race,

79-5 : Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord),

79-6 : One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,

79-7 : Followed by oft - repeated (commotions):

79-8 : Hearts that Day will be in agitation;

79-9 : Cast down will be (their owners') eyes.

79-10 : They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state?

79-11 : "What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?"

79-12 : They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!"

79-13 : But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry,

79-14 : When, behold, they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment).

79-15 : Has the story of Moses reached thee?

79-16 : Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa: -

79-17 : "Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds:

79-18 : "And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)? -

79-19 : "'And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'"

79-20 : Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign.

79-21 : But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance);

79-22 : Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).

79-23 : Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation,

79-24 : Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".

79-25 : But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.

79-26 : Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah).

79-27 : What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it:

79-28 : On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection.

79-29 : Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light).

79-30 : And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);

79-31 : He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;

79-32 : And the mountains hath He firmly fixed; -

79-33 : For use and convenience to you and your cattle.

79-34 : Therefore, when there comes the great, overwhelming (Event), -

79-35 : The Day when man shall remember (all) that he strove for,

79-36 : And Hell - Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see, -

79-37 : Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds,

79-38 : And had preferred the life of this world,

79-39 : The Abode will be Hell - Fire;

79-40 : And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires,

79-41 : Their abode will be the Garden.

79-42 : They ask thee about the Hour, - 'When will be its appointed time?

79-43 : Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof?

79-44 : With thy Lord in the Limit fixed therefor.

79-45 : Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it.

79-46 : The Day they see it, (It will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening, or (at most till) the following morn!
