[1] By those [angels] who extract with violence
[2] And [by] those who remove with ease
[3] And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
[4] And those who race each other in a race
[5] And those who arrange [each] matter,
[6] On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
[7] There will follow it the subsequent [one].
[8] Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
[9] Their eyes humbled.
[10] They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?
[11] Even if we should be decayed bones?
[12] They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
[13] Indeed, it will be but one shout,
[14] And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
[15] Has there reached you the story of Moses? -
[16] When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,
[17] "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
[18] And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself
[19] And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"
[20] And he showed him the greatest sign,
[21] But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.
[22] Then he turned his back, striving.
[23] And he gathered [his people] and called out
[24] And said, "I am your most exalted lord."
[25] So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].
[26] Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].
[27] Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.
[28] He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.
[29] And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.
[30] And after that He spread the earth.
[31] He extracted from it its water and its pasture,
[32] And the mountains He set firmly
[33] As provision for you and your grazing livestock.
[34] But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -
[35] The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,
[36] And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -
[37] So as for he who transgressed
[38] And preferred the life of the world,
[39] Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.
[40] But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,
[41] Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.
[42] They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
[43] In what [position] are you that you should mention it?
[44] To your Lord is its finality.
[45] You are only a warner for those who fear it.
[46] It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
