In the name of Allah, the Most Kind, the Most Caring.

1. By those who pull out forcefully.

2. And those who draw out gently.

3. And those who glide smoothly.

4. And those who race ahead quickly.

5. And those who carry out a command carefully.

6. On the Day when the great shaking happens.

7. Followed by another shaking.

8. Hearts on that Day will beat fast with fear.

9. And their eyes will look down.

10. They say, "Will we really be brought back to life, just like we used to be?

11. Even after we've become decayed bones?"

12. They say, "Then that would be a losing return!"

13. But it will only take one loud shout.

14. And suddenly they'll be awake on the earth's surface.

15. Have you heard the story of Moses?

16. When his Lord called him in the holy valley of Tuwa.

17. "Go to Pharaoh — he went too far.

18. And say, 'Would you like to become a better person?

19. And let me guide you to your Lord, so you will be in awe of Him?'"

20. Then Moses showed Pharaoh the greatest sign.

21. But Pharaoh called it a lie and disobeyed.

22. Then he turned away and hurried off.

23. He gathered his people and shouted.

24. "I am your highest lord!"

25. So Allah punished him with the punishment of this world and the next.

26. In this story, there's a lesson for anyone who fears.

27. Are you harder to create, or is it the sky? He built it.

28. He raised it high and shaped it perfectly.

29. He made its night dark, and brought out its daylight.

30. And after that, He spread out the earth.

31. He brought out water from it, and its pastures.

32. And He placed the mountains firmly.

33. All this as provision for you and your animals.

34. But when the great disaster comes.

35. On that Day, each human will remember what they did.

36. And Hell will be shown to everyone who can see.

37. Then, whoever transgressed.

38. And preferred the life of this world.

39. Hellfire will be their home.

40. But whoever was afraid of standing before their Lord, and restrained himself from desires.

41. Paradise will be their home.

42. They ask you about the Hour, "When will it happen?"

43. But what concern is it of yours to mention it?

44. To your Lord is its finality.

45. You're only here to warn those who fear it.

46. On the Day they see it, they'll feel like they stayed in this world only one evening or one morning.
