Chapter 79
In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.
79:1 By those that take the person forcibly.
79:2 And those that take the person gently.
79:3 And those that swim along.
79:4 And those that press forward in a race.
79:5 So as to carry out a command.
79:6 On the Day the ground shakes.
79:7 It will be followed by the second blow.
79:8 Hearts on that Day will be terrified.
79:9 Their eyes cast down.
79:10 They say: "Shall we be returned to live our lives."
79:11 "Even after we were crumbled bones?"
79:12 They said: "This is an impossible recurrence."
79:13 All it takes is one call.
79:14 Whereupon they will rise up.
79:15 Did the narrative of Moses come to you?
79:16 His Lord called him at the holy valley of Tuwa.
79:17 "Go to Pharaoh, for he has transgressed."
79:18 Tell him: "Would you not be purified?"
79:19 "And I will guide you to your Lord, that you may be concerned."
79:20 He then showed him the great sign.
79:21 But he disbelieved and rebelled.
79:22 Then he turned away in a hurry.
79:23 So he gathered and proclaimed.
79:24 He said: "I am your lord, the most high."
79:25 So God seized him, restrained for the Hereafter, and the first life.
79:26 In that is a lesson for those who are concerned.
79:27 Are you a more powerful creation than the heaven which He built?
79:28 He raised its height, and perfected it.
79:29 And He covered its night and brought out its morning.
79:30 And the land after that He spread out.
79:31 He brought forth from it its water and pasture.
79:32 And the mountains He set firmly.
79:33 All this to be a provision for you and your hoofed animals.
79:34 Then, when the great blow comes.
79:35 The Day when the human being remembers all that he strove for.
79:36 And Hell will be made apparent for all who can see.
79:37 As for he who transgressed.
79:38 And was preoccupied with the worldly life.
79:39 Then Hell will be the abode.
79:40 And as for he who feared the station of his Lord, and prohibited the self from desire.
79:41 Paradise will be the abode.
79:42 They ask you about the Hour: "When is its appointed time?"
79:43 You have no knowledge of it.
79:44 To your Lord is its term.
79:45 You are simply to warn those who are concerned by it.
79:46 For the Day they see it, it will be as if they had remained an evening or half a day.
