An-Naazi'aat

By those [angels] who extract with violence

And [by] those who remove with ease

And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming

And those who race each other in a race

And those who arrange [each] matter

On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation]

There will follow it the subsequent [one]

Hearts, that Day, will tremble

Their eyes humbled

They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]

Even if we should be decayed bones

They say, "That, then, would be a losing return

Indeed, it will be but one shout

And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface

Has there reached you the story of Moses

When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa

Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed

And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]

And he showed him the greatest sign

But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed

Then he turned his back, striving

And he gathered [his people] and called out

And said, "I am your most exalted lord

So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression]

Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah]

Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it

He raised its ceiling and proportioned it

And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness

And after that He spread the earth

He extracted from it its water and its pasture

And the mountains He set firmly

As provision for you and your grazing livestock

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity

The Day when man will remember that for which he strove

And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see

So as for he who transgressed

And preferred the life of the world

Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge

But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination

Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge

They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival

In what [position] are you that you should mention it

To your Lord is its finality

You are only a warner for those who fear it

It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof
