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

Duties of angels and the day of resurrection
|
1 | By those who drag forth to destruction, | ||
| 2 | By the meteors rushing, | |||
| 3 | By the lone stars floating, | |||
| 4 | By the angels hastening, | |||
| 5 | And those who govern the event, | |||
| 6 | On the day when the first trump resoundeth | |||
| 7 | And the second followeth it, | |||
| 8 | On that day hearts beat painfully | |||
| 9 | While eyes are downcast | |||
| 10 | (Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state | |||
| 11 | Even after we are crumbled bones? | |||
| 12 | They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding. | |||
| 13 | Surely it will need but one shout, | |||
| 14 | And lo! they will be awakened. | |||
|
Story of Musa when he called Fir'on to his Rabb, he denied and was seized for punishment
|
15 | Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses? | ||
| 16 | How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa, | |||
| 17 | (Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh--Lo! he hath rebelled-- | |||
| 18 | And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace)? | |||
| 19 | Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him). | |||
| 20 | And he showed him the tremendous token. | |||
| 21 | But be denied and disobeyed, | |||
| 22 | Then turned he away in haste, | |||
| 23 | Then gathered he and summoned | |||
| 24 | And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest." | |||
| 25 | So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former. | |||
| 26 | Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth. | |||
|
Creation of man is not harder than the creation of heavens, earth and its contents
|
27 | Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built? | ||
| 28 | He raised the height thereof and ordered it; | |||
| 29 | And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof. | |||
| 30 | And after that He spread the earth, | |||
| 31 | And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof, | |||
| 32 | And He made fast the hills, | |||
| 33 | A provision for you and for your cattle. | |||
|
Punishment and reward on the day of judgement
|
34 | But when the great disaster cometh, | ||
| 35 | The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavor, | |||
| 36 | And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth, | |||
| 37 | Then, as for him who rebelled | |||
| 38 | And chose the life of the world, | |||
| 39 | Lo! hell will be his home. | |||
| 40 | But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust, | |||
| 41 | Lo! the Garden will be his home. | |||
| 42 | They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port? | |||
| 43 | Why (ask they)? What hast thou to tell thereof? | |||
| 44 | Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof. | |||
| 45 | Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it. | |||
| 46 | On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof. |
