Chapter 79
Surah An-Nazi'at
Those Who Pull Out

In The Name Of Allah

The Most Gracious

The Most Merciful

1. By those (angels) who pull out (souls of the wicked) with great violence;

2. By those (angels) who gently take out (souls of the believers);

3. And by those that swim along.

4. And by those that press forward in a race.

5. And by those (angels) who arrange every matter.

6. On the Day, the earth and the mountains will shake violently (and everybody will die),

7. The second blowing of the Trumpet follows it (and everybody will be raised up),

8. (Some) hearts that Day will tremble.

9. Their eyes cast down.

10. They say: "Shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state of life?

11. "Even after we are crumbled bones?"

12. They say: "That is a meaningless return"

13. But only, it will be a single blast.

14. Then, behold! They find themselves upon the earth, conscious!

15. Has there come to you the story of Moses?

16. When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,

17. Go to Pharaoh, verily, he has transgressed all bounds.

18. And say to him: "Would you purify yourself ",

19. And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him?

20. Then Moses showed him the great sign.

21. But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed;

22. Then he turned his back, striving hard.

23. Then he gathered his people and cried aloud,

24. Saying: "I am your lord, most high",

25. So Allah, seized him with punishment for his last and first transgression.

26. Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allah.

27. Are you more difficult to create, or is the heaven that He constructed?

28. He raised its height, and He has equally ordered it,

29. Its night He covers with darkness, and its forenoon He brings out (with light).

30. And after that He spread the earth;

31. And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture;

32. And the mountains He has fixed firmly;

33. A provision and benefit for you and your cattle.

34. But when there comes the greatest catastrophe,

35. The Day when man shall remember what he strove for,

36. And Hell-fire shall be made apparent in full view for (every) one who sees,

37. Then, for him who transgressed all bounds.

38. And preferred the life of this world,

39. Verily, his abode will be Hell-fire;

40. But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure desires.

41. Verily, Paradise will be his abode.

42. They ask you (O Muhammad) about the Hour, - when will be its appointed time?

43. You have no knowledge to say anything about it,

44. To your Lord belongs (the knowledge of) the term thereof.

45. You (O Muhammad) are only a warner for those who fear it,

46. The Day they see it, as if they stayed this world except an afternoon or a morning.
