79-1 : In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those who drag forth to destruction,

79-2 : By the meteors rushing,

79-3 : By the lone stars floating,

79-4 : By the angels hastening,

79-5 : And those who govern the event,

79-6 : On the day when the first trump resoundeth.

79-7 : And the second followeth it,

79-8 : On that day hearts beat painfully

79-9 : While eyes are downcast

79-10 : (Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state

79-11 : Even after we are crumbled bones ?

79-12 : They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.

79-13 : Surely it will need but one shout,

79-14 : And lo! they will be awakened.

79-15 : Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ?

79-16 : How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,

79-17 : (Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled -

79-18 : And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace) ?

79-19 : Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him).

79-20 : And he showed him the tremendous token.

79-21 : But he denied and disobeyed,

79-22 : Then turned he away in haste,

79-23 : Then gathered he and summoned

79-24 : And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest."

79-25 : So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.

79-26 : Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.

79-27 : Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built ?

79-28 : He raised the height thereof and ordered it;

79-29 : And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.

79-30 : And after that He spread the earth,

79-31 : And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,

79-32 : And He made fast the hills,

79-33 : A provision for you and for your cattle.

79-34 : But when the great disaster cometh,

79-35 : The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,

79-36 : And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,

79-37 : Then, as for him who rebelled

79-38 : And chose the life of the world,

79-39 : Lo! hell will be his home.

79-40 : But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,

79-41 : Lo! the Garden will be his home.

79-42 : They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port ?

79-43 : Why (ask they) ? What hast thou to tell thereof ?

79-44 : Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof.

79-45 : Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.

79-46 : On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.
