| 1. * | By the winds which carry dust particles, |
| 2. * | by the clouds which are heavily loaded with water, |
| 3. * | by the ships which smoothly sail on the oceans, |
| 4. * | by the angels which distribute the affairs, |
| 5. * | that what you are promised is certainly true |
| 6. * | and the Day of Judgment will inevitably take place. |
| 7. * | By the beautiful heavens, |
| 8. * | your ideas are confused. |
| 9. * | Let whoever wishes, turn away from Our Quran. |
| 10. * | Death to those whose opinions are merely baseless conjectures. |
| 11. * | and who wander in the abyss of confusion. |
| 12. * | They ask, "When it will be the Day of Judgment?". |
| 13. * | On the Day of Judgment they will be punished by the fire |
| 14. * | and will be told, "Suffer the torment which you wanted to experience immediately". |
| 15. * | The pious ones will live amidst gardens and springs, |
| 16. * | receiving their reward from their Lord. They had been righteous people before the Day of Judgment. |
| 17. * | They slept very little during the night |
| 18. * | and asked for forgiveness in the early morning. |
| 19. * | They assigned a share of their property for the needy and the destitute. |
| 20. * | In the earth there is evidence (of the Truth) for those who have strong faith. |
| 21. * | There is also evidence of the Truth within your own selves. Will you then not see? |
| 22. * | In the heavens there is your sustenance and that which you were promised (Paradise). |
| 23. * | This, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth is as certain as your ability to speak. |
| 24. * | Have you heard the story of the honorable guests of Abraham? |
| 25. * | When they came to him saying, "Peace be with you," he replied to their greeting in the same manner and said to himself, "These are a strange people". |
| 26. * | He went quietly to his wife and returned to his guests with a fat, roasted calf. |
| 27. * | He placed it before them. Then he said, "Why are you not eating?". |
| 28. * | He began to feel afraid. They said, "Do not be afraid," and then gave him the glad news of the birth of a knowledgeable son. |
| 29. * | His wife came forward, crying and beating her face, saying, "I am an old barren woman!". |
| 30. * | They said, "This is true but your Lord has said, (that you will have a son); He is All-wise and All-knowing". |
| 31. * | Abraham asked, "Messengers, what is your task?". |
| 32. * | They replied, "We have been sent to a sinful people |
| 33. * | to bring down upon them showers of marked lumps of clayy. |
| 34. * | They are transgressors in the presence of your Lord". |
| 35. * | We saved the believers among them, |
| 36. * | but We found only one Muslim house. |
| 37. * | We left therein evidence for those who fear the painful torment. |
| 38. * | There is also evidence (of the Truth) in the story of Moses when We sent him to the Pharaoh with clear authority. |
| 39. * | The Pharaoh and his forces turned away from him, saying, "He is either a magician or an insane person". |
| 40. * | We seized him and his army and threw them into the sea. He himself was to be blamed. |
| 41. * | There is also evidence of the Truth in the story of Ad whom We struck with a violent wind |
| 42. * | which turned everything it approached into dust. |
| 43. * | There is also evidence (of the Truth) in the story of the Thamud, who were told to enjoy themselves for an appointed time. |
| 44. * | They transgressed against the command of their Lord. So a blast of sound struck them and they were unable to do anything but stare. |
| 45. * | They were unable to stand up, nor were they helped. |
| 46. * | The people of Noah who lived before them were also evil doing people. |
| 47. * | We have made the heavens with Our own hands and We expanded it. |
| 48. * | We have spread out the earth and how brilliantly it is spread! |
| 49. * | We have created everything in pairs so that perhaps you may take heed. |
| 50. * | (Muhammad), tell them,"Seek refuge in God. I have been sent from Him to plainly warn you. |
| 51. * | Do not choose other gods besides Him. I have been sent from Him to plainly warn you". |
| 52. * | In the same way no Messenger came to those who lived before them without his people calling him a magician or an insane person. |
| 53. * | Have they inherited such dealings with the Prophets from their predecessors or are they a rebellious people? |
| 54. * | (Muhammad), leave them alone and you will not be blamed. |
| 55. * | Keep on reminding them. This benefits the believers. |
| 56. * | We have created jinn and human beings only that they might worship Me. |
| 57. * | I do not expect to receive any sustenance from them or that they should feed Me. |
| 58. * | It is God Who is the Sustainer and the Lord of invincible strength. |
| 59. * | The unjust will bear a burden like that of their unjust predecessors. Let them not make Me bring immediate punishment upon them. |
| 60. * | Woe to the disbelievers when the day with which they have been threatened comes! |
