| 1 | By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allah) sent forth one after another.
| |
| 2 | And by the winds that blow violently,
| |
| 3 | And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain;
| |
| 4 | And by the Verses (of the Quran) that separate the right from the wrong.
| |
| 5 | And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers,
| |
| 6 | To cut off all excuses or to warn;
| |
| 7 | Surely, what you are promised must come to pass.
| |
| 8 | Then when the stars lose their lights;
| |
| 9 | And when the heaven is cleft asunder;
| |
| 10 | And when the mountains are blown away;
| |
| 11 | And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed;
| |
| 12 | For what Day are these signs postponed?
| |
| 13 | For the Day of sorting out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell).
| |
| 14 | And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out?
| |
| 15 | Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
| |
| 16 | Did We not destroy the ancients?
| |
| 17 | So shall We make later generations to follow them.
| |
| 18 | Thus do We deal with the Mujrimoon (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.)!
| |
| 19 | Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
| |
| 20 | Did We not create you from a worthless water (semen, etc.)?
| |
| 21 | Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb),
| |
| 22 | For a known period (determined by gestation)?
| |
| 23 | So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things).
| |
| 24 | Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
| |
| 25 | Have We not made the earth a receptacle?
| |
| 26 | For the living and the dead.
| |
| 27 | And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water?
| |
| 28 | Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
| |
| 29 | (It will be said to the disbelievers): "Depart you to that which you used to deny!
| |
| 30 | "Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) in three columns,
| |
| 31 | "Neither shading, nor of any use against the fierce flame of the Fire."
| |
| 32 | Verily! It (Hell) throws sparks (huge) as Al-Qasr (a fort or a Qasr (huge log of wood)),
| |
| 33 | As if they were Jimalatun Sufr (yellow camels or bundles of ropes)."
| |
| 34 | Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
| |
| 35 | That will be a Day when they shall not speak (during some part of it),
| |
| 36 | And they will not be permitted to put forth any excuse.
| |
| 37 | Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
| |
| 38 | That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together!
| |
| 39 | So if you have a plot, use it against Me (Allah)!
| |
| 40 | Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
| |
| 41 | Verily, the Muttaqoon (pious - see V.2:2) shall be amidst shades and springs.
| |
| 42 | And fruits, such as they desire.
| |
| 43 | "Eat and drink comfortably for that which you used to do.
| |
| 44 | Verily, thus We reward the Muhsinoon (good-doers).
| |
| 45 | Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
| |
| 46 | (O you disbelievers)! Eat and enjoy yourselves (in this worldly life) for a little while. Verily, you are the Mujrimoon (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.).
| |
| 47 | Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
| |
| 48 | And when it is said to them: "Bow down yourself (in prayer)!" They bow not down (offer not their prayers) .
| |
| 49 | Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
| |
| 50 | Then in what statement after this (the Quran) will they believe?
| |
