| 1. * | By those sent forth to spread goodness! |
| 2. * | Then those driving off the chaff! |
| 3. * | And those spreading (goodness), far and wide! |
| 4. * | Then those making a distinction! |
| 5. * | Then those offering the Reminder, |
| 6. * | To clear or to warn! -- |
| 7. * | Surely that which you are promised will come to pass. |
| 8. * | So when the stars are made to disappear, |
| 9. * | And when the heaven is rent asunder, |
| 10. * | And when the mountains are carried away as dust, |
| 11. * | And when the messengers are made to reach their appointed time, |
| 12. * | |
| 13. * | To the day of Decision. |
| 14. * | And what will make thee comprehend what the day of Decision is? |
| 15. * | Woe on that day to the rejectors! |
| 16. * | Did We not destroy the former generations? |
| 17. * | Then We followed them up with later ones. |
| 18. * | Thus do We deal with the guilty. |
| 19. * | Woe on that day to the rejectors! |
| 20. * | Did We not create you from ordinary water? |
| 21. * | Then We placed it in a secure resting-place, |
| 22. * | Till an appointed term, |
| 23. * | So We determined -- how well are We at determining! |
| 24. * | Woe on that day to the rejectors! |
| 25. * | Have We not made the earth draw to itself |
| 26. * | The living and the dead, |
| 27. * | And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water? |
| 28. * | Woe on that day to the rejectors! |
| 29. * | Walk on to that which you called a lie. |
| 30. * | Walk on to the shadow, having three branches, |
| 31. * | Neither cool, nor availing against the flame. |
| 32. * | It sends up sparks like palaces, |
| 33. * | As if they were tawny camels. |
| 34. * | Woe on that day to the rejectors! |
| 35. * | This is the day on which they speak not, |
| 36. * | Nor are they allowed to offer excuses. |
| 37. * | Woe on that day to the rejectors! |
| 38. * | This is the day of Decision; We have gathered you and those of yore. |
| 39. * | So if you have a plan, plan against me (now). |
| 40. * | Woe on that day to the rejectors! |
| 41. * | Surely the dutiful are amid shades and fountains, |
| 42. * | And fruits such as they desire. |
| 43. * | Eat and drink pleasantly for what you did. |
| 44. * | Thus do We reward the doers of good. |
| 45. * | Woe on that day to the rejectors! |
| 46. * | East and enjoy yourselves for a little; surely you are guilty. |
| 47. * | Woe on that day to the rejectors! |
| 48. * | And when it is said to them, Bow down, they bow not down. |
| 49. * | Woe on that day to the rejectors! |
| 50. * | In what narration after it, will they believe? |
