1.  *     By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit);
 
2.  *     Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts,
 
3.  *     And scatter (things) far and wide;
 
4.  *     Then separate them, one from another,
 
5.  *     Then spread abroad a Message,
 
6.  *     Whether of Justification or of Warning;-
 
7.  *     Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass.
 
8.  *     Then when the stars become dim;
 
9.  *     When the heaven is cleft asunder;
 
10.  *     When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;
 
11.  *     And when the apostles are (all) appointed a time (to collect);-
 
12.  *     For what Day are these (portents) deferred?
 
13.  *     For the Day of Sorting out.
 
14.  *     And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?
 
15.  *     Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
 
16.  *     Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?
 
17.  *     So shall We make later (generations) follow them.
 
18.  *     Thus do We deal with men of sin.
 
19.  *     Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
 
20.  *     Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?-
 
21.  *     The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed,
 
22.  *     For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)?
 
23.  *     For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things).
 
24.  *     Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth!
 
25.  *     Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together.
 
26.  *     The living and the dead,
 
27.  *     And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)?
 
28.  *     Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
 
29.  *     (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false!
 
30.  *     "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns,
 
31.  *     "(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze.
 
32.  *     "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts,
 
33.  *     "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)."
 
34.  *     Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
 
35.  *     That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak.
 
36.  *     Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas.
 
37.  *     Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
 
38.  *     That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)!
 
39.  *     Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me!
 
40.  *     Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
 
41.  *     As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).
 
42.  *     And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire.
 
43.  *     "Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness).
 
44.  *     Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good.
 
45.  *     Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
 
46.  *     (O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners.
 
47.  *     Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
 
48.  *     And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so.
 
49.  *     Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
 
50.  *     Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?
