Translation of the Holy Koran by Shakir

---

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