English Translation of Quran Surat
1:46
Translated by :
Mamdouk Pickthall
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[79:1]
By those who drag forth to destruction,
[79:2]
By the meteors rushing,
[79:3]
By the lone stars floating,
[79:4]
By the angels hastening,
[79:5]
And those who govern the event,
[79:6]
On the day when the first trump resoundeth.
[79:7]
And the second followeth it,
[79:8]
On that day hearts beat painfully
[79:9]
While eyes are downcast
[79:10]
(Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state
[79:11]
Even after we are crumbled bones ?
[79:12]
They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.
[79:13]
Surely it will need but one shout,
[79:14]
And lo! they will be awakened.
[79:15]
Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ?
[79:16]
How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,
[79:17]
(Saying Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled - [79:18]
And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace) ?
[79:19]
Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him).
[79:20]
And he showed him the tremendous token.
[79:21]
But he denied and disobeyed,
[79:22]
Then turned he away in haste,
[79:23]
Then gathered he and summoned
[79:24]
And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest."
[79:25]
So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.
[79:26]
Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.
[79:27]
Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built ?
[79:28]
He raised the height thereof and ordered it;
[79:29]
And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.
[79:30]
And after that He spread the earth,
[79:31]
And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,
[79:32]
And He made fast the hills,
[79:33]
A provision for you and for your cattle.
[79:34]
But when the great disaster cometh,
[79:35]
The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,
[79:36]
And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,
[79:37]
Then, as for him who rebelled
[79:38]
And chose the life of the world,
[79:39]
Lo! hell will be his home.
[79:40]
But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,
[79:41]
Lo! the Garden will be his home.
[79:42]
They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port ?
[79:43]
Why (ask they) ? What hast thou to tell thereof ?
[79:44]
Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof.
[79:45]
Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.
[79:46]
On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.
