1By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another

2By the raging hurricanes

3By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive

4By those who winnow with a winnowing

5By those who bring down the Reminder

6To excuse or to warn

7Surely that which ye are promised will befall

8So when the stars are put out

9And when the sky is riven asunder

10And when the mountains are blown away

11And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed

12For what day is the time appointed

13For the Day of Decision

14And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is

15Woe unto the repudiators on that day

16Destroyed We not the former folk

17Then caused the latter folk to follow after

18Thus deal We ever with the guilty

19Woe unto the repudiators on that day

20Did We not create you from a base fluid

21Which We laid up in a safe abode

22For a known term

23Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging

24Woe unto the repudiators on that day

25Have We not made the earth a receptacle

26Both for the living and the dead

27And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein

28Woe unto the repudiators on that day

29(It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny

30Depart unto the shadow falling threefold

31(Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame

32Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles

33(Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue

34Woe unto the repudiators on that day

35This is a day wherein they speak not

36Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses

37Woe unto the repudiators on that day

38This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together

39If now ye have any wit, outwit Me

40Woe unto the repudiators on that day

41Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains

42And fruits such as they desire

43(Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye blessed, in return for what ye did

44Thus do We reward the good

45Woe unto the repudiators on that day

46Eat and take your ease (on earth) a little. Lo! ye are guilty

47Woe unto the repudiators on that day

48When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down

49Woe unto the repudiators on that day

50In what statement, after this, will they believe
