Quran Chapter 79: Surah An-Nazi'at (Those who drag forth) English Translation

(79:1) By those (angels) that pluck out the soul from depths, (79:2) and gently take it away; (79:3) and by those that speedily glide along (the cosmos), (79:4) and vie with the others(in carrying out their Lord's behests); (79:5) and then manage the affairs of the Universe(according to their Lord's commands). (79:6) The Day when the quaking will cause a violent convulsion, (79:7) and will be followed by another quaking. (79:8) On that Day some hearts shall tremble (with fright), (79:9) and their eyes shall be downcast with dread. (79:10) They say: “Shall we indeed be restored to life, (79:11) even after we have been reduced to bones, hollow and rotten?” (79:12) They say: “That will then be a return with a great loss!” (79:13) Surely they will need no more than a single stern blast, (79:14) and lo, they will all be in the open plain. (79:15) Has Moses' story reached you? (79:16) When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa, (79:17) and directed him: “Go to Pharaoh, he has rebelled, (79:18) and say to him: 'Are you willing to be purified, (79:19) that I may direct you to your Lord and then you hold Him in awe?' ” (79:20) Then Moses (went to Pharaoh and) showed him the Great Sign; (79:21) but he denied it as false and disobeyed, (79:22) and then he turned back to have recourse to his craftiness, (79:23) and gathered his people and declared: (79:24) “I am the supreme lord of you all.” (79:25) Thereupon Allah seized him for the chastisement of the World to Come as well as of the present. (79:26) Surely there is a great lesson in it for whoever would fear (Allah). (79:27) Is it harder to create you or the heaven? But Allah built it, (79:28) and raised its vault high and proportioned it; (79:29) and covered its night with darkness and brought forth from it its day; (79:30) and thereafter spread out the earth, (79:31) and brought out of it its water and its pasture, (79:32) and firmly fixed in it mountains; (79:33) all this as provision for you and your cattle. (79:34) But when the great calamity will come about (79:35) on the Day when man will recall all his strivings, (79:36) and Hell will be brought in sight for anyone to see: (79:37) then he who transgressed (79:38) and preferred the life of this world, (79:39) most surely his abode shall be Hell. (79:40) But he who feared to stand before his Lord, and restrained himself from evil desires, (79:41) most surely his abode shall be Paradise. (79:42) They ask you about the Hour: “When will it be?” (79:43) What concern do you have to speak about that? (79:44) Its knowledge rests with your Lord. (79:45) You are only a warner to him who has a fear of it. (79:46) On the Day they see it, they will feel as though they had stayed (in the grave) no more than one evening or one morning.
