1By those [angels] who extract with violence¹⁷⁰⁵

2And [by] those who remove with ease¹⁷⁰⁶

3And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming¹⁷⁰⁷

4And those who race each other in a race¹⁷⁰⁸

5And those who arrange [each] matter,¹⁷⁰⁹

6On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

7There will follow it the subsequent [one].

8Hearts,¹⁷¹⁰ that Day, will tremble,

9Their eyes¹⁷¹¹ humbled.

10They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

11Even if we should be decayed bones?"¹⁷¹²

12They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."¹⁷¹³

13Indeed, it will be but one shout,

14And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

15Has there reached you the story of Moses? –

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

17"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

18And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

19And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"

20And he showed him the greatest sign,¹⁷¹⁴

21But he [i.e., Pharaoh] denied and disobeyed.

22Then he turned his back, striving [i.e., plotting].¹⁷¹⁵

23And he gathered [his people] and called out

24And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

25So Allāh seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].¹⁷¹⁶

26Indeed in that is a lesson [i.e., warning] for whoever would fear [Allāh].

27Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? He [i.e., Allāh] constructed it.

28He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

29And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.¹⁷¹⁷

30And after that He spread the earth.

31He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

32And the mountains He set firmly

33As enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.

34But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity¹⁷¹⁸ –

35The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

36And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see –

37So as for he who transgressed

38And preferred the life of the world,

39Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

40But as for he who feared the position of his Lord¹⁷¹⁹ and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

41Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

42They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?¹⁷²⁰

43In what [position] are you that you should mention it?¹⁷²¹

44To your Lord is its finality.¹⁷²²

45You are only a warner for those who fear it.

46It will be, on the Day they see it,¹⁷²³ as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
