By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another |
|
| 2 |
By the raging hurricanes, |
|
| 3 |
By those which cause earth’s vegetation to revive; |
|
| 4 |
By those who winnow with a winnowing, |
|
| 5 |
By those who bring down the Reminder, |
|
| 6 |
To excuse or to warn, |
|
| 7 |
Surely that which ye are promised will befall. |
|
| 8 |
So when the stars are put out, |
|
| 9 |
And when the sky is riven asunder, |
|
| 10 |
And when the mountains are blown away, |
|
| 11 |
And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed - |
|
| 12 |
For what day is the time appointed ? |
|
| 13 |
For the Day of Decision. |
|
| 14 |
And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! - |
|
| 15 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
|
| 16 |
Destroyed We not the former folk, |
|
| 17 |
Then caused the latter folk to follow after ? |
|
| 18 |
Thus deal We ever with the guilty. |
|
| 19 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
|
| 20 |
Did We not create you from a base fluid |
|
| 21 |
Which We laid up in a safe abode |
|
| 22 |
For a known term ? |
|
| 23 |
Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! |
|
| 24 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
|
| 25 |
Have We not made the earth a receptacle |
|
| 26 |
Both for the living and the dead, |
|
| 27 |
And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein ? |
|
| 28 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
|
| 29 |
(It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny; |
|
| 30 |
Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, |
|
| 31 |
(Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame. |
|
| 32 |
Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, |
|
| 33 |
(Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. |
|
| 34 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
|
| 35 |
This is a day wherein they speak not, |
|
| 36 |
Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. |
|
| 37 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
|
| 38 |
This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together. |
|
| 39 |
If now ye have any wit, outwit Me. |
|
| 40 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
|
| 41 |
Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains, |
|
| 42 |
And fruits such as they desire. |
|
| 43 |
(Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye blessed, in return for what ye did. |
|
| 44 |
Thus do We reward the good. |
|
| 45 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
|
| 46 |
Eat and take your ease (on earth) a little. Lo! ye are guilty. |
|
| 47 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
|
| 48 |
When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down! |
|
| 49 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
|
| 50 |
In what statement, after this, will they believe ? |
|
