[79:1]
The (angels who) snatch (the souls of the disbelievers) forcibly.
[79:2]
And those who gently take (the souls of the believers) joyfully.
[79:3]
And those floating everywhere.
[79:4]
Eagerly racing with one another—
[79:5]
to carry out various commands.
[79:6]
The day the quake quakes.
[79:7]
Followed by the second blow.
[79:8]
Certain minds will be terrified.
[79:9]
Their eyes will be subdued.
[79:10]
They will say, "We have been recreated from the grave!
[79:11]
"How did this happen after we had turned into rotten bones?"
[79:12]
They had said, "This is an impossible recurrence."
[79:13]
All it takes is one nudge.
[79:14]
Whereupon they get up.
[79:15]
Have you known about the history of Moses?
[79:16]
His Lord called him at the holy valley of Tuwaa.
[79:17]
"Go to Pharaoh; he has transgressed."
[79:18]
Tell him, "Would you not reform?
[79:19]
"Let me guide you to your Lord, that you may turn reverent."
[79:20]
He then showed him the great miracle.
[79:21]
But he disbelieved and rebelled.
[79:22]
Then he turned away in a hurry.
[79:23]
He summoned and proclaimed.
[79:24]
He said, "I am your Lord; most high."
[79:25]
Consequently, GOD committed him to the retribution in the Hereafter, as well as in the first life.
[79:26]
This is a lesson for the reverent.
[79:27]
Are you more difficult to create than the heaven? He constructed it.
[79:28]
He raised its masses, and perfected it.
[79:29]
He made its night dark, and brightened its morn.
[79:30]
He made the earth egg-shaped.*
[79:31]
From it, He produced its own water and pasture.
[79:32]
He established the mountains.
[79:33]
All this to provide life support for you and your animals.
[79:34]
Then, when the great blow comes.
[79:35]
That is the day when the human will remember everything he did.
[79:36]
Hell will be brought into existence.
[79:37]
As for the one who transgressed.
[79:38]
Who was preoccupied with this life.
[79:39]
Hell will be the abode.
[79:40]
As for the one who reverenced the majesty of his Lord, and enjoined the self from sinful lusts.
[79:41]
Paradise will be the abode.
[79:42]
They ask you about the Hour, and when it will take place!
[79:43]
It is not you (Muhammad) who is destined to announce its time.
[79:44]
Your Lord decides its fate.
[79:45]
Your mission is to warn those who expect it.
[79:46]
The day they see it, they will feel as if they lasted one evening or half a day.
