79:1  By those (angels) who pull out (the souls of the disbelievers and the wicked) with great violence

79:2  By those (angels) who gently take out (the souls of the believers)

79:3  And by those that swim along (i.e. angels or planets in their orbits, etc.)

79:4  And by those that press forward as in a race (i.e. the angels or stars or the horses, etc.)

79:5  And by those angels who arrange to do the Commands of their Lord, (so verily, you disbelievers will be called to account)

79:6  On the Day (when the first blowing of the Trumpet is blown), the earth and the mountains will shake violently (and everybody will die)

79:7  The second blowing of the Trumpet follows it (and everybody will be raised up)

79:8  (Some) hearts that Day will shake with fear and anxiety

79:9  Their eyes cast down

79:10  They say: "Shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state of life

79:11  "Even after we are crumbled bones?"

79:12  They say: "It would in that case, be a return with loss!"

79:13  But only, it will be a single Zajrah (shout (i.e., the second blowing of the Trumpet)). (See Verse 37:19)

79:14  When, behold, they find themselves over the earth alive after their death

79:15  Has there come to you the story of Moosa (Moses)

79:16  When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Toowa

79:17  Go to Firaun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism, disbelief, etc.)

79:18  And say to him: "Would you purify yourself (from the sin of disbelief by becoming a believer)"

79:19  And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him

79:20  Then (Moosa (Moses)) showed him the great sign (miracles)

79:21  But (Firaun (Pharaoh)) belied and disobeyed

79:22  Then he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah)

79:23  Then he gathered his people and cried aloud

79:24  Saying: "I am your lord, most high"

79:25  So Allah, seized him with punishment for his last (i.e. his saying: "I am your lord, most high") (see Verse 79:24)) and first ((i.e. his saying, "O chiefs! I know not that you have a god other than I" (see Verse 28:38)) transgression

79:26  Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allah

79:27  Are you more difficult to create, or is the heaven that He constructed

79:28  He raised its height, and He has equally ordered it

79:29  Its night He covers with darkness, and its forenoon He brings out (with light)

79:30  And after that He spread the earth

79:31  And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture

79:32  And the mountains He has fixed firmly

79:33  (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle

79:34  But when there comes the greatest catastrophe (i.e. the Day of Recompense, etc.)

79:35  The Day when man shall remember what he strove for

79:36  And Hell-fire shall be made apparent in full view for (every) one who sees

79:37  Then, for him who Tagha (transgressed all bounds, in disbelief, oppression and evil deeds of disobedience to Allah)

79:38  And preferred the life of this world (by following his evil desires and lusts)

79:39  Verily, his abode will be Hell-fire

79:40  But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil desires, and lusts

79:41  Verily, Paradise will be his abode

79:42  They ask you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) about the Hour, - when will be its appointed time

79:43  You have no knowledge to say anything about it

79:44  To your Lord belongs (the knowledge of) the term thereof

79:45  You (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) are only a warner for those who fear it

79:46  The Day they see it, (it will be) as if they had not tarried (in this world) except an afternoon or a mornin
