English Translation
1By the warning verses that tear shirk out of hearts,
2by the verses of good news that gently place hope in the hearts of the believers,
3by those who swim on and on in the sea of hope,
4by the forerunners who vie with one another in good,
5and by the rearguard who then set affairs in order!
6On that day the earth will shake violently.
7Other quakes will follow it.
8On that day hearts will pound as though about to leap out of the chest.
9Eyes will be cast down in fear.

15Has the story of what happened with Moses reached you?
16Long ago his Lord called out to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:
17—Go to Pharaoh, for he has overstepped his bounds.
18And say: —Are you willing to purify yourself?
19—I am showing you the way that leads to your Lord, so that you may hold Him in deep reverence and stand in awe of Him.
20And Moses showed him the greatest miracle/sign.
21But he denied it and opposed him.
22Then he turned away from him and swiftly set to work against Moses.
23(23-24) He gathered his men and cried out: "I am your supreme lord!"
24(23-24) He gathered his men and cried out: "I am your supreme lord!"

27Which is harder: to create you anew, or this sky that Allah has built so firmly?
28He raised it high in such a way that (the heavenly bodies within it) swim, and gave it a perfect shape and order.
29He darkened its night and brought out its day in light.
30And He arranged the earth and made it fit for living.
31He made water gush forth from it, and brought pastures into being.
32And He set the mountains in the earth like rivets,
33for the benefit of both you and your animals.
