In the Name of Allaah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. |
|
1. |
By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allaah) 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'aan) 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 (Allaah subhaanahu wa ta'aala)! |
|
40. |
Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! |
|
41. |
Verily, the Muttaqoon (the pious believers of Islaamic Monotheism) 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 - see (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 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). [1] |
|
49. |
Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! |
|
50. |
Then in what statement after this (the Qur'aan) will they believe? |
|
