79: 4-46
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 hadrestrained
(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!
