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 about
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
