| 79:1 | | By those who snatch violently |
| 79:2 | | And those who remove gently |
| 79:3 | | And those who glide smoothly |
| 79:4 | | And those who race swiftly |
| 79:5 | | And those who regulate events |
| 79:6 | | On the Day when the Quake quakes |
| 79:7 | | And is followed by the Successor |
| 79:8 | | Hearts on that Day will be pounding |
| 79:9 | | Their sights downcast |
| 79:10 | | They say, 'Are we to be restored to the original condition |
| 79:11 | | When we have become hollow bones?' |
| 79:12 | | They say, 'This is a losing proposition.' |
| 79:13 | | But it will be only a single nudge |
| 79:14 | | And they will be awake |
| 79:15 | | Has the story of Moses reached you? |
| 79:16 | | When His Lord called out to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa |
| 79:17 | | 'Go to Pharaoh—he has transgressed.' |
| 79:18 | | And say, 'Do you care to be cleansed |
| 79:19 | | And I will guide you to your Lord, and you will turn reverent.' |
| 79:20 | | He showed him the Greatest Miracle |
| 79:21 | | But he denied and defied |
| 79:22 | | Then turned his back, and tried |
| 79:23 | | And gathered and proclaimed |
| 79:24 | | He said, 'I am your Lord, the most high.' |
| 79:25 | | So God seized him with an exemplary punishment, in the last and in the first |
| 79:26 | | In this is a lesson for whoever fears |
| 79:27 | | Are you more difficult to create, or the heaven? He constructed it |
| 79:28 | | He raised its masses, and proportioned it |
| 79:29 | | And He dimmed its night, and brought out its daylight |
| 79:30 | | And the earth after that He spread |
| 79:31 | | And from it, He produced its water and its pasture |
| 79:32 | | And the mountains, He anchored |
| 79:33 | | A source of enjoyment for you and for your animals |
| 79:34 | | But when the Great Cataclysm arrives |
| 79:35 | | A Day when man will remember what he has endeavored |
| 79:36 | | And Hell will be displayed to whoever sees |
| 79:37 | | As for him who was defiant |
| 79:38 | | And preferred the life of this world |
| 79:39 | | Then Hell is the shelter |
| 79:40 | | But as for him who feared the Standing of his Lord, and restrained the self from desires |
| 79:41 | | Then Paradise is the shelter |
| 79:42 | | They ask you about the Hour, 'When will it take place?' |
| 79:43 | | You have no knowledge of it |
| 79:44 | | To your Lord is its finality |
| 79:45 | | You are just a warner for whoever dreads it |
| 79:46 | | On the Day when they witness it—as though they only stayed an evening, or its morning |
