| 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 Qur'an) 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 Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals). | |
| |
| 19 | Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! | |
| |
| 20 | Did We not create you from a despised water (semen)? | |
| |
| 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 shady, 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 huge log of wood), | |
| |
| 33 | As if they were 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 جل جلاله)! | |
| |
| 40 | Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! | |
| |
| 41 | Verily, the Muttaqun (the 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 Muhsinun (good-doers. See V.2:112). | |
| |
| 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 Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals). | |
| |
| 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 Qur'an) will they believe? | |
| |
