النَّازِعَات

By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;

By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed);

And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy),

Then press forward as in a race,

Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord),

One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,

Followed by oft-repeated (commotions):

Hearts that Day will be in agitation;

Cast down will be (their owners´) eyes.

They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state?

"What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?"

They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!"

But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry,

When, behold, they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment).

Has the story of Moses reached thee?

Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:-

"Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds:

"And say to him, ´Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)?-

"´And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?´"

Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign.
