and those taking the lead vigorously,
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And those who race each other in a race1
— Saheeh International
and those conducting affairs ˹obediently˺!
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And those who arrange [each] matter,1
— Saheeh International
˹Consider˺ the Day ˹when˺ the quaking Blast will come to pass,1
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
— Saheeh International
followed by a second Blast.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
— Saheeh International
˹The deniers’˺ hearts on that Day will be trembling ˹in horror˺,
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Hearts,1 that Day, will tremble,
— Saheeh International
with their eyes downcast.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Their eyes1 humbled.
— Saheeh International
˹But now˺ they ask ˹mockingly˺, “Will we really be restored to our former state,
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?
— Saheeh International
even after we have been reduced to decayed bones?”
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Even if we should be decayed bones?"1
— Saheeh International
Adding, “Then such a return would be a ˹total˺ loss ˹for us˺!”
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."1
— Saheeh International
But indeed, it will take only one ˹mighty˺ Blast,
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
— Saheeh International
and at once they will be above ground.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
— Saheeh International
