| | Rashad Khalifa rendition of Surah Those Who Drag Forth, Soul-snatchers, Those Who Pulled Out(an-Nazi`at)
--- |
|---|
| 79:1 | | The (angels who) snatch (the souls of the disbelievers) forcibly |
| 79:2 | | And those who gently take (the souls of the believers) joyfully |
| 79:3 | | And those floating everywhere |
| 79:4 | | Eagerly racing with one another |
| 79:5 | | to carry out various commands |
| 79:6 | | The day the quake quakes |
| 79:7 | | Followed by the second blow |
| 79:8 | | Certain minds will be terrified |
| 79:9 | | Their eyes will be subdued |
| 79:10 | | They will say, "We have been recreated from the grave |
| 79:11 | | "How did this happen after we had turned into rotten bones?" |
| 79:12 | | They had said, "This is an impossible recurrence." |
| 79:13 | | All it takes is one nudge |
| 79:14 | | Whereupon they get up |
| 79:15 | | Have you known about the history of Moses |
| 79:16 | | His Lord called him at the holy valley of Tuwaa |
| 79:17 | | "Go to Pharaoh; he has transgressed." |
| 79:18 | | Tell him, "Would you not reform |
| 79:19 | | "Let me guide you to your Lord, that you may turn reverent." |
| 79:20 | | He then showed him the great miracle |
| 79:21 | | But he disbelieved and rebelled |
| 79:22 | | Then he turned away in a hurry |
| 79:23 | | He summoned and proclaimed |
| 79:24 | | He said, "I am your Lord; most high." |
| 79:25 | | Consequently, GOD committed him to the retribution in the Hereafter, as well as in the first life |
| 79:26 | | This is a lesson for the reverent |
| 79:27 | | Are you more difficult to create than the heaven? He constructed it |
| 79:28 | | He raised its masses, and perfected it |
| 79:29 | | He made its night dark, and brightened its morn |
| 79:30 | | He made the earth egg-shaped |
| 79:31 | | From it, He produced its own water and pasture |
| 79:32 | | He established the mountains |
| 79:33 | | All this to provide life support for you and your animals |
| 79:34 | | Then, when the great blow comes |
| 79:35 | | That is the day when the human will remember everything he did |
| 79:36 | | Hell will be brought into existence |
| 79:37 | | As for the one who transgressed |
| 79:38 | | Who was preoccupied with this life |
| 79:39 | | Hell will be the abode |
| 79:40 | | As for the one who reverenced the majesty of his Lord, and enjoined the self from sinful lusts |
| 79:41 | | Paradise will be the abode |
| 79:42 | | They ask you about the Hour, and when it will take place |
| 79:43 | | It is not you (Muhammad) who is destined to announce its time |
| 79:44 | | Your Lord decides its fate |
| 79:45 | | Your mission is to warn those who expect it |
| 79:46 | | The day they see it, they will feel as if they lasted one evening or half a day |
