| The Pluckers -An-Nazi'at | |||
| In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful | |||
| 1 | [ 79. 1 ] By the pluckers ( the angels of death ), violently plucking ( the souls of the unbelievers ), | ||
| 2 | [ 79. 2 ] by the drawers ( the angels of death ), gently drawing ( the souls of the believers ), | ||
| 3 | [ 79. 3 ] by the swimmers ( angels ) swimming gently | ||
| 4 | [ 79. 4 ] and the outstrippers ( angels ), outstripping, | ||
| 5 | [ 79. 5 ] by the managers ( angels ) affair. | ||
| 6 | [ 79. 6 ] On the Day, the shiverer shivers | ||
| 7 | [ 79. 7 ] followed by the succeeding, | ||
| 8 | [ 79. 8 ] hearts will throb on that Day | ||
| 9 | [ 79. 9 ] and their eyes will be humbled. | ||
| 10 | [ 79. 10 ] They say: 'What, are we being restored as we were before, | ||
| 11 | [ 79. 11 ] even after we are fragmented bones?' | ||
| 12 | [ 79. 12 ] They will say: 'Then we are returned lost!' | ||
| 13 | [ 79. 13 ] But it will be only a single blow, | ||
| 14 | [ 79. 14 ] and they will be upon the surface of the earth ( alive ). | ||
| 15 | [ 79. 15 ] Have you received the story of Moses? | ||
| 16 | [ 79. 16 ] His Lord called to him in the Sacred Valley of Towa, | ||
| 17 | [ 79. 17 ] saying 'Go to Pharaoh, he has become exceedingly insolent, | ||
| 18 | [ 79. 18 ] and say: " Will you purify yourself, | ||
| 19 | [ 79. 19 ] that I might guide you to your Lord, so that you fear ( Him ). " | ||
| 20 | [ 79. 20 ] He showed him the mighty sign, | ||
| 21 | [ 79. 21 ] but he belied and disobeyed, | ||
| 22 | [ 79. 22 ] and hastily turned away, | ||
| 23 | [ 79. 23 ] then, he gathered, proclaimed, then said: | ||
| 24 | [ 79. 24 ] 'I am your lord, the most high!' | ||
| 25 | [ 79. 25 ] So Allah seized him with the punishment of the Everlasting Life, and of this world. | ||
| 26 | [ 79. 26 ] Surely, in this there is a lesson for he that fears! | ||
| 27 | [ 79. 27 ] What, are you harder to create than the heaven which He has built? | ||
| 28 | [ 79. 28 ] He raised it high and leveled it, | ||
| 29 | [ 79. 29 ] and darkened its night and brought forth its morning. | ||
| 30 | [ 79. 30 ] And the earth He extended after that; | ||
| 31 | [ 79. 31 ] and then brought from it its water and pastures. | ||
| 32 | [ 79. 32 ] And the mountains He set firm | ||
| 33 | [ 79. 33 ] an enjoyment for you and your herds. | ||
| 34 | [ 79. 34 ] But when the Great Catastrophe comes, | ||
| 35 | [ 79. 35 ] the Day when the human will remember what he has worked for, | ||
| 36 | [ 79. 36 ] and when Hell is advanced for whoever sees, | ||
| 37 | [ 79. 37 ] then as for whosoever was insolent | ||
| 38 | [ 79. 38 ] preferring the present life, | ||
| 39 | [ 79. 39 ] surely, Hell will be their refuge. | ||
| 40 | [ 79. 40 ] But, whosoever feared the standing before his Lord and prevented the self from desires, | ||
| 41 | [ 79. 41 ] indeed, their refuge shall be Paradise. | ||
| 42 | [ 79. 42 ] They will question you about the Hour: 'When shall it be?' | ||
| 43 | [ 79. 43 ] But how are you to know? | ||
| 44 | [ 79. 44 ] Its final end is for your Lord. | ||
| 45 | [ 79. 45 ] You are but a warner for those who fear it. | ||
| 46 | [ 79. 46 ] On the Day when they behold it, it will be as if they had lingered but an evening, or, a morning. | ||
