79:1
By those who snatch forcibly,
79:2
and those who draw out gently,
79:3
and those who glide effortlessly,
79:4
and those who outrun easily,
79:5
and those who manage the affairs:
79:6
on the Day the quake quakes,
79:7
and is followed by the second blow;
79:8
hearts on that Day will tremble,
79:9
and their eyesight will be subdued.
79:10
They will say, "Are we to be returned to our former state
79:11
when we have become decayed bones?"
79:12
They said, "That would then be a losing return!"
79:13
It is but a single nudge,
79:14
whereupon they will be upon the earth's surface.
79:15
Has the story of Moses reached you,
79:16
when his Lord called out to him at the holy valley Tuwa?
79:17
"Go to Pharaoh, for he has transgressed
79:18
and say, 'Are you willing to purify yourself
79:19
and let me guide you to your Lord so that you may fear Him?' "
79:20
Then he showed him the great miracle,
79:21
but he denied and disobeyed.
79:22
Then he hastily turned away.
79:23
Then he gathered and called out,
79:24
and said, "I am your lord, the most high."
79:25
So God seized him with an exemplary punishment in the Hereafter and the first life.
79:26
Indeed, in that is a lesson for those who fear.
79:27
Are you a mightier creation or the heaven that He built?
79:28
He raised its height and fashioned it,
79:29
and He darkened its night and brought out its brightness.
79:30
Then the earth, after that, He made it egg-shaped.
79:31
He brought forth from it its water and pasture,
79:32
and He affixed the mountains;
79:33
an enjoyment for you and for your livestock.
79:34
Then, when the great calamity arrives,
79:35
it will be the Day when the human being will remember all his striving.
79:36
Hellfire will be brought forward for those who can see.
79:37
So for the one who transgressed
79:38
and preferred the worldly life,
79:39
Hellfire will be the refuge.
79:40
And as for the one who feared the position of his Lord, and restrained the self from base desires,
79:41
Paradise will be the refuge.
79:42
They ask you about the Hour: "When is its arrival?"
79:43
What has its mention got to do with you?
79:44
With your Lord rests its finality.
79:45
You are only a warner for those who fear it.
79:46
The Day they see it, it will be as if they lasted only one evening or morning thereof.
