    79:10 They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?

11. أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـٰمًا نَّخِرَةً

    79:11 Even if we should be decayed bones?"

12. قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ

    79:12 They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."

    79:13 Indeed, it will be but one shout,

14. فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ

    79:14 And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

15. هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ

    79:15 Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

16. إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى

    79:16 When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Ṭuwā,

17. ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ

    79:17 "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

18. فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ

    79:18 And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself

19. وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ

    79:19 And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"

20. فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

    79:20 And he showed him the greatest sign,

21. فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ

    79:21 But he [i.e., Pharaoh] denied and disobeyed.

22. ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ

    79:22 Then he turned his back, striving [i.e., plotting].

23. فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ

    79:23 And he gathered [his people] and called out.

24. فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ

    79:24 And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

25. فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ

    79:25 So Allāh seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression]..

26. إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ

    79:26 Indeed in that is a lesson [i.e., warning] for whoever would fear [Allāh].

27. ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ ۚ بَنَىٰهَا

    79:27 Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? He [i.e., Allāh] constructed it.

28. رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا

    79:28 He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.

29. وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا

    79:29 And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

30. وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ

    79:30 And after that He spread the earth.

31. أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا

    79:31 He extracted from it its water and its pasture,

32. وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا

    79:32 And the mountains He set firmly

33. مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ

    79:33 As enjoyment [i.e., provision] for you and your grazing livestock.

34. فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ

    79:34 But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -

35. يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ

    79:35 The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,

36. وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ

    79:36 And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -

37. فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ

    79:37 So as for he who transgressed

38. وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا

    79:38 And preferred the life of the world,

39. فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ

    79:39 Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.

40. وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ

    79:40 But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,

41. فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ

    79:41 Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.

42. يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا

    79:42 They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?

43. فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ

    79:43 In what [position] are you that you should mention it?

44. إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ

    79:44 To your Lord is its finality.

45. إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا

    79:45 You are only a warner for those who fear it.

46. كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا

    79:46 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.
