An-Nazi'ât

(1)By those (angels) who pull out (the souls of the disbelievers and the wicked) with great violence;

(2)By those (angels) who gently take out (the souls of the believers);

(3)And by those that swim along (i.e. angels or planets in their orbits, etc.).

(4)And by those that press forward as in a race (i.e. the angels or stars or the horses, etc.).

(5)And by those angels who arrange to do the Commands of their Lord, (so verily, you disbelievers will be called to account).

(6)On the Day (when the first blowing of the Trumpet is blown), the earth and the mountains will shake violently (and everybody will die),

(7)The second blowing of the Trumpet follows it (and everybody will be raised up),

(8)(Some) hearts that Day will shake with fear and anxiety.

(9)Their eyes cast down.

(10)They say: "Shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state of life?

(11)"Even after we are crumbled bones?"

(12)They say: "It would in that case, be a return with loss!"

(13)But only, it will be a single Zajrah [shout (i.e., the second blowing of the Trumpet)]. (See Verse 37:19).

(14)When, behold, they find themselves over the earth alive after their death,

(15)Has there come to you the story of Mûsa (Moses)?

(16)When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tûwa,

(17)Go to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism, disbelief, etc.).

(18)And say to him: "Would you purify yourself (from the sin of disbelief by becoming a believer)",

(19)And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him?

(20)Then [Mûsa (Moses)] showed him the great sign (miracles).

(21)But [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] belied and disobeyed;

(22)Then he turned his back, striving hard (against Allâh).

(23)Then he gathered his people and cried aloud,

(24)Saying: "I am your lord, most high",

(25)So Allâh, seized him with punishment for his last [i.e. his saying: "I am your lord, most high") (see Verse 79:24)] and first [(i.e. his saying, "O chiefs! I know not that you have a god other than I" (see Verse 28:38)] transgression.

(26)Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allâh.

(27)Are you more difficult to create, or is the heaven that He constructed?

(28)He raised its height, and He has equally ordered it,

(29)Its night He covers with darkness, and its forenoon He brings out (with light).

(30)And after that He spread the earth;

(31)And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture;

(32)And the mountains He has fixed firmly;

(33)(To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.

(34)But when there comes the greatest catastrophe (i.e. the Day of Recompense, etc.),

(35)The Day when man shall remember what he strove for,

(36)And Hell-fire shall be made apparent in full view for (every) one who sees,

(37)Then, for him who Taghâ (transgressed all bounds, in disbelief, oppression and evil deeds of disobedience to Allâh).

(38)And preferred the life of this world (by following his evil desires and lusts),

(39)Verily, his abode will be Hell-fire;

(40)But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil desires, and lusts.

(41)Verily, Paradise will be his abode.

(42)They ask you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) about the Hour, - when will be its appointed time?

(43)You have no knowledge to say anything about it,

(44)To your Lord belongs (the knowledge of) the term thereof?

(45)You (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) are only a warner for those who fear it,

(46)The Day they see it, (it will be) as if they had not tarried (in this world) except an afternoon or a morning.

An-Naba'

(1)What are they asking (one another)?

(2)About the great news, (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism, the Qur'ân, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.),

(3)About which they are in disagreement.

(4)Nay, they will come to know!

(5)Nay, again, they will come to know!

(6)Have We not made the earth as a bed,

(7)And the mountains as pegs?

(8)And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad, etc.).

(9)And have made your sleep as a thing for rest.

(10)And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness),

(11)And have made the day for livelihood.

(12)And We have built above you seven strong (heavens),

(13)And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun).

(14)And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water.

(15)That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations,

(16)And gardens of thick growth.

(17)Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time,

(18)The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups);

(19)And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates,

(20)And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage.

(21)Truly, Hell is a place of ambush,

(22)A dwelling place for the Tâghûn (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allâh like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.),

(23)They will abide therein for ages,

(24)Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink.

(25)Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges.

(26)An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes).

(27)For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning.

(28)But they belied Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely.

(29)And all things We have recorded in a Book.

(30)So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment.

(31)Verily, for the Muttaqûn[], there will be a success (Paradise);

(32)Gardens and grapeyards;

(33)And young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age;

(34)And a full cup (of wine).

(35)No Laghw (dirty, false, evil talk) shall they hear therein, nor lying;

(36)A reward from your Lord, an ample calculated gift (according to the best of their good deeds)[].

(37)(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and whatsoever is in between them, the Most Beneficent, none can dare to speak with Him (on the Day of Resurrection except after His Leave).

(38)The Day that Ar-Rûh [Jibrael (Gabriel) or another angel] and the angels will stand forth in rows, none shall speak except him whom the Most Beneficent (Allâh) allows, and he will speak what is right.

(39)That is without doubt the True Day, so, whosoever wills, let him seek a place with (or a way to) His Lord (by obeying Him in this worldly life)!

(40)Verily, We have warned you of a near torment, the Day when man will see that (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the disbeliever will say: "Woe to me! Would that I were dust!"
