2 And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,

3 And by those who float in space,

3 Waalssabihati sabhan

3 And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy),

4 Then those who are foremost going ahead,

4 Faalssabiqati sabqan

4 Then press forward as in a race,

5 Then those who regulate the affair.

5 Faalmudabbirati amran

5 Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord),

6 The day on which the quaking one shall quake,

6 Yawma tarjufu alrrajifatu

6 One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,

7 What must happen afterwards shall follow it.

7 TatbaAAuha alrradifatu

7 Followed by oft - repeated (commotions):

8 Hearts on that day shall palpitate,

8 Quloobun yawmaithin wajifatun

8 Hearts that Day will be in agitation;

9 Their eyes cast down.

9 Absaruha khashiAAatun

9 Cast down will be (their owners') eyes.

10 They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?

10 Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati

10 They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state?

11 What! when we are rotten bones?

11 Aitha kunna AAithaman nakhiratan

11 "What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?"

12 They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.

12 Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun

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

13 But it shall be only a single cry,

13 But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry,

14 When lo! they shall be wakeful.

14 Faitha hum bialssahirati

15 Has not there come to you the story of Musa?

15 Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

15 Has the story of Moses reached thee?

16 When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,

16 Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

16 Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa: -

17 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.

17 Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

17 "Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds:

18 Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:

18 Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

18 "And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)? -

19 And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.

19 Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

19 "'And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'"

20 So he showed him the mighty sign.

20 Faarahu alayata alkubra

20 Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign.

21 But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.

21 Fakaththaba waAAasa

21 But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance);

22 Then he went back hastily.

22 Thumma adbara yasAAa

22 Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).

23 Then he gathered (men) and called out.

23 Fahashara fanada

23 Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation,

24 Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.

24 Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla

24 Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".

25 So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.

25 Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola

25 But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.

26 Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.

26 Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

26 Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah).

27 Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.

27 Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

27 What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it:

28 He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.

28 RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

28 On high hath He raised its canopy, and He hath given it order and perfection.

29 And He made dark its night and brought out its light.

29 Waaghtasha laylaha waakhraja duhaha

29 Its night doth He endow with darkness, and its splendour doth He bring out (with light).

30 And the earth, He expanded it after that.

30 Waalarda baAAda thalika dahaha

30 And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);

31 He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.

31 Akhraja minha maaha wamarAAaha

31 He draweth out therefrom its moisture and its pasture;

32 And the mountains, He made them firm,

32 Waaljibala arsaha

32 And the mountains hath He firmly fixed; -

33 A provision for you and for your cattle.

33 MataAAan lakum walianAAamikum

33 For use and convenience to you and your cattle.

34 But when the great predominating calamity comes;

34 Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra

34 Therefore, when there comes the great, overwhelming (Event), -

35 The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,

35 Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa

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

36 And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees

36 Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

36 And Hell - Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see, -

37 Then as for him who is inordinate,

37 Faamma man tagha

37 Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds,

38 And prefers the life of this world,

38 Waathara alhayata alddunya

38 And had preferred the life of this world,

39 Then surely the hell, that is the abode.

39 Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa

39 The Abode will be Hell - Fire;

40 And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,

40 Waama man khafa maqama rabbihi wanaha alnnafsa AAani alhawa

40 And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires,

41 Then surely the garden - - that is the abode.

41 Fainna aljannata hiya almawa

41 Their abode will be the Garden.

42 They ask you about the hour, when it will come.

42 Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

42 They ask thee about the Hour, - 'When will be its appointed time?

43 About what! You are one to remind of it.

43 Feema anta min thikraha

43 Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof?

44 To your Lord is the goal of it.

44 Ila rabbika muntahaha

44 With thy Lord in the Limit fixed therefor.

45 You are only a warner to him who would fear it.

45 Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

45 Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it.

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.

46 Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha

46 The Day they see it, (It will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening, or (at most till) the following morn!
