Chapter 79 (Sura 79)
1; I CALL TO WITNESS those who dive and drag,
2; And those who undo the bonds gently,
3; And those who glide swimmingly,
4; Then outpace the others swiftly
5; And direct affairs by command,
6; The day the convulsive (first blast) shatters convulsively
7; Followed by the second blast,
8; Hearts will pound loudly on that day,
9; Eyes be lowered in submission.
10; They say: “Shall we go back to our original state
11; After having turned to carious bones?”
12; They say: “Then this returning will be a dead loss.”
13; It will only be a single blast,
14; And they will wake up suddenly.
15; Has the story of Moses come to you
16; When his Lord called to him in Tuwa´s holy vale?
17; “Go to the Pharaoh who has become refractory,
18; And say: ´Would you like to grow (in virtue)?
19; Then I will guide you to your Lord that you may come to fear Him.´”
20; So he showed him the greater sign;
21; But (the Pharaoh) disavowed and disobeyed.
22; Then he turned away, deliberating,
23; And assembled (his council) and proclaimed,
24; Saying: “I am alone your lord, the highest of them all.”
25; So God seized him for the punishment of the Hereafter and this world.
26; Truly there is a lesson in this for those who fear (the consequences).
27; Are you more difficult to create or the heavens? He built it,
28; Raised it high, proportioned it,
29; Gave darkness to its night, and brightness to its day;
30; And afterwards spread out the earth.
31; He brought out its water and its pastures from it,
32; And stabilized the mountains
33; As convenience for you and your cattle.
34; When the great calamity comes,
35; The day when man remembers all that he had done,
36; And Hell made visible to him who can see,
37; Then he who had been rebellious
38; And who preferred the life of the world,
39; Will surely have Hell for his abode.
40; But he who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained his self from vain desires,
41; Will surely have Paradise for abode.
42; They ask you: “When will the Hour be? When is its time fixed?”
43; What do you have to do with explaining it?
44; The extent of its knowledge goes to your Lord.
45; Your duty is only to warn him who fears it.
46; The day they see it, it will seem they had stayed in the world but only an evening or its turning into dawn.
