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

8 On that day hearts beat painfully

9 Their eyes will be downcast.

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

10 Yaqooloona ainna lamardoodoona fee alhafirati

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

12 Qaloo tilka ithan karratun khasiratun

12 They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.

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

13 Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun

13 Surely it will need but one shout,

14 When behold, they find themselves on the surface of the earth alive after their death,

14 Faitha hum bialssahirati

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

15 Hal ataka hadeethu moosa

15 Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ?

16 When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,

16 Ith nadahu rabbuhu bialwadi almuqaddasi tuwan

16 How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,

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

17 Ithhab ila firAAawna innahu tagha

17 (Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled -

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

18 Faqul hal laka ila an tazakka

18 And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace) ?

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

19 Waahdiyaka ila rabbika fatakhsha

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

20 Faarahu alayata alkubra

20 And he showed him the tremendous token.

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

21 Fakaththaba waAAasa

21 But he denied and disobeyed,

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

22 Thumma adbara yasAAa

22 Then turned he away in haste,

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

23 Fahashara fanada

23 Then gathered he and summoned

24 Saying: "I am your lord, most high."

24 Faqala ana rabbukumu alaAAla

24 And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest."

25 So Allah, seized him with punishment for his last and first transgression. [Tafsir At-Tabari]

25 Faakhathahu Allahu nakala alakhirati waaloola

25 So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.

26 Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allah.

26 Inna fee thalika laAAibratan liman yakhsha

26 Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.

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

27 Aantum ashaddu khalqan ami alssamao banaha

28 He raised its height, and has perfected it.

28 RafaAAa samkaha fasawwaha

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.

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

34 Faitha jaati alttammatu alkubra

34 But when the great disaster cometh,

35 The Day when man shall remember what he strove for.

35 Yawma yatathakkaru alinsanu ma saAAa

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

36 Waburrizati aljaheemu liman yara

36 And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,

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

37 Faamma man tagha

37 Then, as for him who rebelled

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

38 And chose the life of the world,

39 Verily, his abode will be Hell-fire;

39 Fainna aljaheema hiya almawa

42 They ask you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) about the Hour - when will be its appointed time?

42 Yasaloonaka AAani alssaAAati ayyana mursaha

42 They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port ?

43 You have no knowledge to say anything about it.

43 Feema anta min thikraha

43 Why (ask they) ? What hast thou to tell thereof ?

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

44 Ila rabbika muntahaha

44 Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof.

45 You (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are only a warner for those who fear it,

45 Innama anta munthiru man yakhshaha

45 Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth 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.

46 Kaannahum yawma yarawnaha lam yalbathoo illa AAashiyyatan aw duhaha

46 On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.
