shakir
 
1.  *     I swear by the wind that scatters far and wide,
 
2.  *     Then those clouds bearing the load (of minute things in space).
 
3.  *     Then those (ships) that glide easily,
 
4.  *     Then those (angels who) distribute blessings by Our command;
 
5.  *     What you are threatened with is most surely true,
 
6.  *     And the judgment must most surely come about.
 
7.  *     I swear by the heaven full of ways.
 
8.  *     Most surely you are at variance with each other in what you say,
 
9.  *     He is turned away from it who would be turned away.
 
10.  *     Cursed be the liars,
 
11.  *     Who are in a gulf (of ignorance) neglectful;
 
12.  *     They ask: When is the day of judgment?
 
13.  *     (It is) the day on which they shall be tried at the fire.
 
14.  *     Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on.
 
15.  *     Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in gardens and fountains.
 
16.  *     Taking what their Lord gives them; surely they were before that, the doers of good.
 
17.  *     They used to sleep but little in the night.
 
18.  *     And in the morning they asked forgiveness.
 
19.  *     And in their property was a portion due to him who begs and to him who is denied (good).
 
20.  *     And in the earth there are signs for those who are sure,
 
21.  *     And in your own souls (too); will you not then see?
 
22.  *     And in the heaven is your sustenance and what you are threatened with.
 
23.  *     And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth! it is most surely the truth, just as you do speak.
 
24.  *     Has there come to you information about the honored guests of Ibrahim?
 
25.  *     When they entered upon him, they said: Peace. Peace, said he, a strange people.
 
26.  *     Then he turned aside to his family secretly and brought a fat (roasted) calf,
 
27.  *     So he brought it near them. He said: What! will you not eat?
 
28.  *     So he conceived in his mind a fear on account of them. They said: Fear not. And they gave him the good news of a boy possessing knowledge.
 
29.  *     Then his wife came up in great grief, and she struck her face and said: An old barren woman!
 
30.  *     They said: Thus says your Lord: Surely He is the Wise, the Knowing.
 
31.  *     He said: What is your affair then, O messengers!
 
32.  *     They said: Surely we are sent to a guilty people,
 
33.  *     That we may send down upon them stone of clay,
 
34.  *     Sent forth from your Lord for the extravagant.
 
35.  *     Then We brought forth such as were therein of the believers.
 
36.  *     But We did not find therein save a (single) house of those who submitted (the Muslims).
 
37.  *     And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.
 
38.  *     And in Musa: When We sent him to Firon with clear authority.
 
39.  *     But he turned away with his forces and said: A magician or a mad man.
 
40.  *     So We seized him and his hosts and hurled them into the sea and he was blamable.
 
41.  *     And in Ad: When We sent upon them the destructive wind.
 
42.  *     It did not leave aught on which it blew, but it made it like ashes.
 
43.  *     And in Samood: When it was said to them: Enjoy yourselves for a while.
 
44.  *     But they revolted against the commandment of their Lord, so the rumbling overtook them while they saw.
 
45.  *     So they were not able to rise up, nor could they defend themselves-
 
46.  *     And the people of Nuh before, surely they were a transgressing people.
 
47.  *     And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and most surely We are the makers of things ample.
 
48.  *     And the earth, We have made it a wide extent; how well have We then spread (it) out.
 
49.  *     And of everything We have created pairs that you may be mindful.
 
50.  *     Therefore fly to Allah, surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.
 
51.  *     And do not set up with Allah another god: surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.
 
52.  *     Thus there did not come to those before them a messenger but they said: A magician or a mad man.
 
53.  *     Have they charged each other with this? Nay! they are an inordinate people.
 
54.  *     Then turn your back upon them for you are not to blame;
 
55.  *     And continue to remind, for surely the reminder profits the believers.
 
56.  *     And I have not created the jinn and the men except that they should serve Me.
 
57.  *     I do not desire from them any sustenance and I do not desire that they should feed Me.
 
58.  *     Surely Allah is the Bestower of sustenance, the Lord of Power, the Strong.
 
59.  *     So surely those who are unjust shall have a portion like the portion of their companions, therefore let them not ask Me to hasten on.
 
60.  *     Therefore woe to those who disbelieve because of their day which they are threatened with.
