[79.1] By the pluckers (the angels of death), violently plucking (the souls of the unbelievers),

[79.2] by the drawers (the angels of death), gently drawing (the souls of the believers),

[79.3] by the swimmers (angels) swimming gently

[79.4] and the outstrippers (angels), outstripping,

[79.5] by the managers (angels) affair.

[79.6] On the Day, the shiverer shivers

[79.7] followed by the succeeding,

[79.8] hearts will throb on that Day

[79.9] and their eyes will be humbled.

[79.10] They say: 'What, are we being restored as we were before,

[79.11] even after we are fragmented bones?'

[79.12] They will say: 'Then we are returned - lost!'

[79.13] But it will be only a single blow,

[79.14] and they will be upon the surface of the earth (alive).

[79.15] Have you received the story of Moses?

[79.16] His Lord called to him in the Sacred Valley of Towa,

[79.17] saying 'Go to Pharaoh, he has become exceedingly insolent,

[79.18] and say: "Will you purify yourself,

[79.19] that I might guide you to your Lord, so that you fear (Him)."

[79.20] He showed him the mighty sign,

[79.21] but he belied and disobeyed,

[79.22] and hastily turned away,

[79.23] then, he gathered, proclaimed, then said:

[79.24] 'I am your lord, the most high!'

[79.25] So Allah seized him with the punishment of the Everlasting Life, and of this world.

[79.26] Surely, in this there is a lesson for he that fears!

[79.27] What, are you harder to create than the heaven which He has built?

[79.28] He raised it high and leveled it,

[79.29] and darkened its night and brought forth its morning.

[79.30] And the earth He extended after that;

[79.31] and then brought from it its water and pastures.

[79.32] And the mountains He set firm

[79.33] an enjoyment for you and your herds.

[79.34] But when the Great Catastrophe comes,

[79.35] the Day when the human will remember what he has worked for,

[79.36] and when Hell is advanced for whoever sees,

[79.37] then as for whosoever was insolent

[79.38] preferring the present life,

[79.39] surely, Hell will be their refuge.

[79.40] But, whosoever feared the standing before his Lord and prevented the self from desires,

[79.41] indeed, their refuge shall be Paradise.

[79.42] They will question you about the Hour: 'When shall it be?'

[79.43] But how are you to know?

[79.44] Its final end is for your Lord.

[79.45] You are but a warner for those who fear it.

[79.46] On the Day when they behold it, it will be as if they had lingered but an evening, or, a morning.
