| 079.000 Those Who Drag Forth
|
| 079.001 |
By those who drag forth to destruction, |
| 079.002 |
By the meteors rushing, |
| 079.003 |
By the lone stars floating, |
| 079.004 |
By the angels hastening, |
| 079.005 |
And those who govern the event, |
| 079.006 |
On the day when the first trump resoundeth. |
| 079.007 |
And the second followeth it, |
| 079.008 |
On that day hearts beat painfully |
| 079.009 |
While eyes are downcast |
| 079.010 |
(Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state |
| 079.011 |
Even after we are crumbled bones ? |
| 079.012 |
They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding. |
| 079.013 |
Surely it will need but one shout, |
| 079.014 |
And lo! they will be awakened. |
| 079.015 |
Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ? |
| 079.016 |
How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa, |
| 079.017 |
(Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled - |
| 079.018 |
And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace) ? |
| 079.019 |
Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him). |
| 079.020 |
And he showed him the tremendous token. |
| 079.021 |
But he denied and disobeyed, |
| 079.022 |
Then turned he away in haste, |
| 079.023 |
Then gathered he and summoned |
| 079.024 |
And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest." |
| 079.025 |
So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former. |
| 079.026 |
Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth. |
| 079.027 |
Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built ? |
| 079.028 |
He raised the height thereof and ordered it; |
| 079.029 |
And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof. |
| 079.030 |
And after that He spread the earth, |
| 079.031 |
And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof, |
| 079.032 |
And He made fast the hills, |
| 079.033 |
A provision for you and for your cattle. |
| 079.034 |
But when the great disaster cometh, |
| 079.035 |
The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour, |
| 079.036 |
And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth, |
| 079.037 |
Then, as for him who rebelled |
| 079.038 |
And chose the life of the world, |
| 079.039 |
Lo! hell will be his home. |
| 079.040 |
But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust, |
| 079.041 |
Lo! the Garden will be his home. |
| 079.042 |
They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port ? |
| 079.043 |
Why (ask they) ? What hast thou to tell thereof ? |
| 079.044 |
Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof. |
| 079.045 |
Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it. |
| 079.046 |
On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof. |
