| 1. * | Witness are these Messages (to the Sublime Truth), sent forth one after another. |
| 2. * | As they gain strength like a tempest. |
| 3. * | And spread (the Truth) far and wide. |
| 4. * | While distinguishing the Right from Wrong with a clear distinction. |
| 5. * | In order to deliver the Reminder (into the hearts). |
| 6. * | Whether one erases his faults or sees the danger signs. ('Uzr' = Excuse = Justification = Good news = Reasoning = Attempt to get rid of one's shortcomings. 'Nuzr' = Warning = Posting danger signs). |
| 7. * | Behold, all that you are promised in this Writ will come to pass. |
| 8. * | So when the stars lose their luster. (The small groups of opponents fade away). |
| 9. * | And when the sky is rent asunder. (Every high tyrant is decimated). |
| 10. * | And when the mountains are blown away as dust. (The great ones who enslave the weak float around like flakes of wool). (20:105), (56:5). |
| 11. * | And when all Messengers are summoned at the time appointed. (The unanimity of the Message of all Messengers will become evident). |
| 12. * | For what Day is the term delayed? |
| 13. * | For the Day of Decision! |
| 14. * | And what will enlighten you what that Day of Decision is? |
| 15. * | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice! ('Kizb' = Lie = Belie = Deny the Truth in practical dealings = Deny by action. 'Kufr' = Frank denial in word and action). |
| 16. * | Did We not annihilate the former generations? |
| 17. * | Then We made them followed by later generations. |
| 18. * | Thus do We always deal with the guilty. |
| 19. * | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice! |
| 20. * | Did We not create you from a humble fluid? (How, then, you forget your common origin and being humble to one another?) |
| 21. * | Which We then kept in a safe place. (23:13). |
| 22. * | For a term appointed. |
| 23. * | Thus We have determined (all things). How excellent is Our determining! (Appointing due measure of all things). |
| 24. * | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice! |
| 25. * | Have We not made the earth a vessel - |
| 26. * | Both for the living and the dead? (The cycle of life and death goes on right here). (3:27), (6:95), (10:31), (30:19). |
| 27. * | And placed therein firm lofty mountains (serving as water reservoirs), and given you fresh water to drink. |
| 28. * | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice! |
| 29. * | Walk unto that which you used to belie. |
| 30. * | Walk unto the threefold shadow. |
| 31. * | Giving neither cooling shade nor shelter from the Flame. |
| 32. * | Behold, it throws up sparks huge as castles. |
| 33. * | Moving like the caravans of bright yellow camels. |
| 34. * | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice! |
| 35. * | This is a Day when they are not able to speak. |
| 36. * | Nor will they be allowed to make excuses. |
| 37. * | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice! |
| 38. * | This is the Day of Decision. We have brought you and the generations of old together. |
| 39. * | Now, if you have a trick, try it against Me. |
| 40. * | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice! |
| 41. * | Behold, those who walk aright, are amid shades and springs. |
| 42. * | And fruit as they desire. |
| 43. * | Enjoy, eat and drink. Welcome for what you have accomplished! |
| 44. * | Behold, thus do We reward the doers of good to others. |
| 45. * | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice! |
| 46. * | Behold, you guilty ones! Enjoy and take your ease for a little while. |
| 47. * | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice! |
| 48. * | And now when they are told, "Bow down", they bow not down! (They do not submit to Divine Commands). |
| 49. * | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice! |
| 50. * | In what Hadith, after this, will they believe? |
