| | Maududi rendition of Surah Those Who Drag Forth, Soul-snatchers, Those Who Pulled Out(an-Nazi`at)
--- |
|---|
| 79:1 | | By those (angels) that pluck out the soul from depths |
| 79:2 | | and gently take it away |
| 79:3 | | and by those that speedily glide along (the cosmos) |
| 79:4 | | and vie with the others (in carrying out their Lord´s behests) |
| 79:5 | | and then manage the affairs of the Universe (according to their Lord´s commands) |
| 79:6 | | The Day when the quaking will cause a violent convulsion |
| 79:7 | | and will be followed by another quaking |
| 79:8 | | On that Day some hearts shall tremble (with fright) |
| 79:9 | | and their eyes shall be downcast with dread |
| 79:10 | | They say: "Shall we indeed be restored to life |
| 79:11 | | even after we have been reduced to bones, hollow and rotten?" |
| 79:12 | | They say: "That will then be a return with a great loss!" |
| 79:13 | | Surely they will need no more than a single stern blast |
| 79:14 | | and lo, they will all be in the open plain |
| 79:15 | | Has Moses´ story reached you |
| 79:16 | | When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa |
| 79:17 | | and directed him: "Go to Pharaoh, he has rebelled |
| 79:18 | | and say to him: ´Are you willing to be purified |
| 79:19 | | that I may direct you to your Lord and then you hold Him in awe?´" |
| 79:20 | | Then Moses (went to Pharaoh and) showed him the Great Sign |
| 79:21 | | but he denied it as false and disobeyed |
| 79:22 | | and then he turned back to have recourse to his craftiness |
| 79:23 | | and gathered his people and declared |
| 79:24 | | "I am the supreme lord of you all." |
| 79:25 | | Thereupon Allah seized him for the chastisement of the World to Come as well as of the present |
| 79:26 | | Surely there is a great lesson in it for whoever would fear (Allah) |
| 79:27 | | Is it harder to create you or the heaven? But Allah built it |
| 79:28 | | and raised its vault high and proportioned it |
| 79:29 | | and covered its night with darkness and brought forth from it its day |
| 79:30 | | and thereafter spread out the earth |
| 79:31 | | and brought out of it its water and its pasture |
| 79:32 | | and firmly fixed in it mountains |
| 79:33 | | all this as provision for you and your cattle |
| 79:34 | | But when the great calamity will come abou |
| 79:35 | | on the Day when man will recall all his strivings |
| 79:36 | | and Hell will be brought in sight for anyone to see |
| 79:37 | | then he who transgresse |
| 79:38 | | and preferred the life of this world |
| 79:39 | | most surely his abode shall be Hell |
| 79:40 | | But he who feared to stand before his Lord, and restrained himself from evil desires |
| 79:41 | | most surely his abode shall be Paradise |
| 79:42 | | They ask you about the Hour: "When will it be?" |
| 79:43 | | What concern do you have to speak about that |
| 79:44 | | Its knowledge rests with your Lord |
| 79:45 | | You are only a warner to him who has a fear of it |
| 79:46 | | On the Day they see it, they will feel as though they had stayed (in the grave) no more than one evening or one morning |
