the holy qur'an chapter 79

THE HOLY QUR'AN

"The Draggers"

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

"79.1": I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,

"79.2": And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,

"79.3": And by those who float in space,

"79.4": Then those who are foremost going ahead,

"79.5": Then those who regulate the affair.

"79.6": The day on which the quaking one shall quake,

"79.7": What must happen afterwards shall follow it.

"79.8": Hearts on that day shall palpitate,

"79.9": Their eyes cast down.

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

"79.11": What! when we are rotten bones?

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

"79.13": But it shall be only a single cry,

"79.14": When lo! they shall be wakeful.

"79.15": Has not there come to you the story of Musa?

"79.16": When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,

"79.17": Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.

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

"79.19": And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.

"79.20": So he showed him the mighty sign.

"79.21": But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.

"79.22": Then he went back hastily.

"79.23": Then he gathered (men) and called out.

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

"79.25": So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.

"79.26": Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.

"79.27": Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.

"79.28": He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.

"79.29": And He made dark its night and brought out its light.

"79.30": And the earth, He expanded it after that.

"79.31": He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.

"79.32": And the mountains, He made them firm,

"79.33": A provision for you and for your cattle.

"79.34": But when the great predominating calamity comes;

"79.35": The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,

"79.36": And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees

"79.37": Then as for him who is inordinate,

"79.38": And prefers the life of this world,

"79.39": Then surely the hell, that is the abode.

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

"79.41": Then surely the garden -- that is the abode.

"79.42": They ask you about the hour, when it will come.

"79.43": About what! You are one to remind of it.

"79.44": To your Lord is the goal of it.

"79.45": You are only a warner to him who would fear it.

"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.
