By the (angels)\n Who tear out\n (The souls of the wicked)\n With violence;\n2. By those who gently\n Draw out (the souls\n Of the blessed);\n3. And by those who glide\n Along (on errands of mercy),\n4. Then press forward\n As in a race,\n5. Then arrange to do\n (The Commands of their Lord),\u2014\n6. One Day everything that\n Can be in commotion will\n Be in violent commotion,\n7. Followed by oft-repeated\n (Commotions):\n8. Hearts that Day \n Will be in agitation;\n9. Cast down will be\n (Their owners\u2019) eyes.\n10. They say (now): \"What!\n Shall we indeed be\n Returned to (our) former state?\u2014\n11. \"What!\u2014when we shall\n Have become rotten bones?\"\n12. They say: \"It would\n In that case, be\n A return with loss!\"\n13. But verily, it will\n Be but a single\n(Compelling) Cry,\n14. When, behold, they\n Will be in the (full)\n Awakening (to Judgment).\n15. Has the story\n Of Moses reached thee?\n16. Behold, thy Lord did call\n To him in the sacred valley\n Of \u1e6cuw\u0101:\u2014\n17. \"Go thou to Pharaoh,\n For he has indeed\n Transgressed all bounds:\n18. \"And say to him,\n \"Wouldst thou that thou\n Shouldst he purified\n (From sin)?\u2014\n19. \"And that I guide thee\n To thy Lord, so thou\n Shouldst fear Him?\"\n20. Then did (Moses) show him\n The Great Sign.\n21. But (Pharaoh) rejected it\n And disobeyed (guidance);\n22. Further, he turned his back,\n Striving hard (against God).\n23. Then he collected (his men)\n And made a proclamation,\n24. Saying, \"I am your Lord,\n Most High\".\n25. But God did punish him,\n (And made an) example\n Of him,\u2014in the Hereafter,\n As in this life.\n26. Verily in this is\n An instructive warning\n For whosoever feareth (God).\n27. What! Are ye the more\n Difficult to create\n Or the heaven (above)?\n (God) hath constructed it:\n28. On high hath He raised\n Its canopy, and He hath\n Given it order and perfection.\n29. Its night doth He\n Endow with darkness,\n And its splendour doth He\n Bring out (with light).\n30. And the earth, moreover,\n Hath He extended\n (To a wide expanse);\n31. He draweth out\n Therefrom its moisture\n And its pasture;\n32. And the mountains\n Hath He firmly fixed;\n33. For use and convenience\n To you and your cattle.\n34. Therefore, when there comes\n The great, overwhelming (Event),\u2014\n35. The Day when Man\n Shall remember (all)\n That he strove for,\n36. And Hell-Fire shall be\n Placed in full view\n For (all) to see,\u2014\n37. Then, for such as had\n Transgressed all bounds,\n38. And had preferred\n The life of this world,\n39. The Abode will be\n Hell-Fire;\n40. And for such as had\n Entertained the fear\n Of standing before\n Their Lord's (tribunal)\n And had restrained\n (Their) soul from lower Desires,\n41. Their Abode will be\n The Garden.\n42. They ask thee\n About the Hour,\u2014\"When\n Will be its appointed time?\"\n43. Wherein art thou (concerned)\n With the declaration thereof?\n44. With thy Lord is\n The Limit fixed therefor.\n45. Thou art but a Warner\n For such as fear it.\n46. The Day they see it,\n (It will be) as if they\n Had tarried but a single\n Evening, or (at most till)\n The following morn!","title":"The Holy Quran: S\u016bra LXXIX.
