In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;
- By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed);
- And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy)
- Then press forward as in a race
- Then arrange to do (the commands of their Lord)
- One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion
- Followed by oft-repeated (commotions):
- Hearts that Day will be in agitation;
- Cast down will be (their owners') eyes.
- They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state?"
- "What! When we shall have become rotten bones?"
- They say: "It would in that case be a return with loss!"
- But verily it will be but a single (compelling) Cry.
- When behold they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment).
- Has the story of Moses reached thee?
- Behold thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley to Tuwa
- "Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds.
- "And say to him `Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)?
- "`And that I guide thee to thy Lord so thou shouldst fear Him?' "
- Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign.
- But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance);
- Further he turned his back striving hard (against Allah).
- Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation
- Saying "I am your Lord Most High."
- But Allah did punish him (and made an) example of him in the Hereafter as in this life.
