79.0 In The Name Of YHWH: The Almighty, The Merciful.
79:1 By They Who drag them forth!
79:2 The Ones Who are ever active
79:3 and ever swimming. the angels
79:4 The Foremost Vanguard
79:5 Commanded by the Command
79:6 on the Day of quaking convulsion
79:7 followed by the subsequent. aftershocks
79:8 That Day hearts will pound in terror
79:9 utterly humbled at what they see.
79:10 Yet still they say: Will the dead really be returned to their former state?
79:11 Even after they are decayed bones?
79:12 Surely that is nonsense!
79:13 Then there is but one cry
79:14 and they will be wide awake.
79:15 Has there come to thee the story of Moses
79:16 when his Lord Called to him in the valley of Tuwa
79:17 saying: Go thou to pharaoh
for he has transgressed.
79:18 So say to him: Would thou like to purify thyself?
79:19 I will guide thee to thy Lord
then thou shall fear Him.
79:20 Then He Showed him Great Proofs
79:21 but he rejected and opposed.
79:22 Yea he turned away in haste
79:23 and summoned his people to gather
79:24 saying: I am your most high I am your lord!
79:25 So God Seized him as an Exemplary Proof for those then and those later like you.
79:26 In that is a lesson for those of Wise Fear.
79:27 And are you harder to Create
or were the great Heavens
which He Built?
79:28 Yea He Raised the ceiling thereof
and Fashioned it
79:29 and He Made its nights dark
and Brought Forth Light for its days.
79:30 After that He Spread Out the Earth
79:31 and Brought Forth its waters and its pastures.
79:32 And the mountains He Anchored with granite instead of basalt
79:33 all to benefit you and your livestock.
79:34 Then when the Day the greatest destruction comes
79:35 mankind will take heed for how they strove
79:36 and Hell will be exposed for all to see.
79:37 Yea for those who transgressed
79:38 and chose the life of this world over the Next
79:39 truly Hellfire will be their abode.
79:40 But as for those who feared the Station Of their Lord
and restrained their souls from vain desires
79:41 the Garden will be their habitation.
79:42 And they ask thee about the Hour
when will its arrival be?
79:43 But how would thou know?
79:44 Yea to thy Lord Alone is the Finality thereof.
79:45 And thou only warns those who fear it.
79:46 And the Day they see Eternity it will be as though
they had not tarried but an evening
or a morning hereof.
