Chapter 79: Surah An Naziat (Those Who pull out) - Sheikh Salih Talib

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
79:1 I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
79:2 And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
79:3 And by those who float in space,
79:4 Then those who are foremost going ahead,
79:5 Then those who regulate the affair.
79:6 The day on which the quaking one shall quake,
79:7 What must happen afterwards shall follow it.
79:8 Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
79:9 Their eyes cast down.
79:10 They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?
79:11 What! when we are rotten bones?
79:12 They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.
79:13 But it shall be only a single cry,
79:14 When lo! they shall be wakeful.
79:15 Has not there come to you the story of Musa?
79:16 When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,
79:17 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.
79:18 Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:
79:19 And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.
79:20 So he showed him the mighty sign.
79:21 But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.
79:22 Then he went back hastily.
79:23 Then he gathered (men) and called out.
79:24 Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.
79:25 So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.
79:26 Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.
79:27 Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.
79:28 He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.
79:29 And He made dark its night and brought out its light.
79:30 And the earth, He expanded it after that.
79:31 He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.
79:32 And the mountains, He made them firm,
79:33 A provision for you and for your cattle.
79:34 But when the great predominating calamity comes;
79:35 The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,
79:36 And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees
79:37 Then as for him who is inordinate,
79:38 And prefers the life of this world,
79:39 Then surely the hell, that is the abode.
79:40 And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,
79:41 Then surely the garden-- that is the abode.
79:42 They ask you about the hour, when it will come.
79:43 About what! You are one to remind of it.
79:44 To your Lord is the goal of it.
79:45 You are only a warner to him who would fear it.
79:46 On the day that they see it, it will be as though they had not tarried but the latter part of a day or the early part of it.
