79. THOSE WHO PULL OUT ( Al – Nazi’at )

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

1. By those who pull out getting drowned (going deep to the last limit),

2. and those who untie, releasing,

3. and those who are busy moving swiftly,

4. then those who are ahead, being ahead,

5. then those who manage the affair { l }:

6. On the day the quaking one (the earth) will quake

7. and the succeeding one will follow it { 2 },

8. on that day hearts will palpitate,

9. their looks will be cast down.

10. They say, “Shall we be restored to our first state,

11. even when we have become rotten bones?”

12. They say, “Then this would be a return of loss.”

13. So it will only be a single shout,

14. when they will be awake.

15. Has the story of Musa come to you?

16. When his Fosterer called him in the holy valley of Tuwa (saying):

17. Go to Firawn, he has certainly rebelled,

18. then say to him, “ Have you the inclination to purify yourself,

19. and that I should guide you to your Fosterer, so that you fear (Him)?”

20. Then he showed him the great sign,

21. but he denied and disobeyed,

22. then he turned away in haste,

23. then he gathered to proclaim,

24. then said, “I am your top most fosterer.”

25. So Allah caught him for punishment (both in) the later and the former (life).

26. There is certainly a lesson in that for one who fears. ( R l )

27. Are you the stronger in creation or the sky which He built?

28. He raised its height {3} and then set it in equilibrium.

29. And He darkened its night and brought out its day light.

30. And He stretched out the earth (drifting the continents apart), after that,

31. brought out from the (earth) its water { 4 } and its pasture,

32. and He firmly anchored the mountains.

33. A provision for you and for your cattle.

34. So when the great predominating calamity comes,

35. the day man will recollect what he earnestly strove after.

36. And the hell will be made manifest for him who sees.

37. So as for him who rebelled

38. and preferred the life of this world,

39. then hell will certainly be his home.

40. And as for him who feared to stand before his Fosterer and restrained himself from evil desire,

41. then the garden will certainly be his home.

42. They ask you about the hour of doom, “When will be its anchorage (time of happening) ?”

43. In what way are you to discuss it ?

44. To your Fosterer (belongs the knowledge of) the ultimate time of its happening.

45. You are a warner only for him who fears it.

46. The day they see it, for them it will be as if they had not stayed (in their graves or this world) except for an evening  or a morning of it. ( R 2 )
