An-Naazi'aat — Ruku 1

By those [angels] who extract with violence

And [by] those who remove with ease

And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming

And those who race each other in a race

And those who arrange [each] matter,

On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

There will follow it the subsequent [one].

Hearts, that Day, will tremble,

Their eyes humbled.

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

Even if we should be decayed bones?

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

Indeed, it will be but one shout,

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

Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.

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

And he showed him the greatest sign,

But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.

Then he turned his back, striving.

And he gathered [his people] and called out

And said, "I am your most exalted lord."

So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].

Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].
