| 1. * | 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? |
