| 1. |
By
the (angels)
who tear out (the souls of the
wicked) with violence; |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
By
those who gently draw out (the
souls of the blessed); |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
And
by those who glide along (on
errands of mercy), |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Then
press forward as in a race, |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
Then
arrange to do (the commands
of their Lord)-- |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
One
Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
Followed
by oft-repeated (commotions): |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
Hearts
that Day will be in agitation; |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
Cast
down will be (their owners')
eyes. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
They
say (now):
"What! Shall we indeed be returned to (our)
former state?" |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
"What!
When we shall have become rotten bones?" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
They
say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
But
verily, it will be but a single (compelling)
Cry, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
When,
behold, they will be in the (full)
awakening (to Judgment). |
|
|
|
|

Has
the story of Moses reached you? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
Behold,
your Lord did call to him in the sacred valley to Tuwa- |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
"Go
you to Pharaoh, for he has indeed transgressed all bounds. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
"And
say to him, `Would you that you should be purified (from
sin)? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
"'And
that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him?' " |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Then
did (Moses)
show him the Great Sign. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
But
(Pharaoh)
rejected it and disobeyed (guidance); |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
Further,
he turned his back, striving hard (against
Allah). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Then
he collected (his men)
and made a proclamation, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
Saying,
"I am your Lord, Most High." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
But
Allah did punish him (and made
an) example of him--in the Hereafter,
as in this life. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Verily
in this is an instructive warning for whosoever fears
(Allah): |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
What!
Are you the more difficult to create of the heaven (above)?
(Allah)
has constructed it: |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
On
high has He raised its canopy, and He has given it order and perfection. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Its
night does He endow with darkness, and its splendor does He bring
out (with light). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
And
the earth, moreover; has He extended (to
a wide expanse); |
|
|
|
