| 1. * | What are they asking about? |
| 2. * | About the Great News! |
| 3. * | On which they disagree. |
| 4. * | Nay, they will soon come to know. |
| 5. * | Nay, again, they will soon come to know. |
| 6. * | Did We not make the earth a cradle for you? |
| 7. * | And the mountains as pegs? |
| 8. * | And We have created you in pairs. |
| 9. * | And We have made sleep so that you can rest. |
| 10. * | And We have made the night as a cloak. |
| 11. * | And made the day, life. ('Ma'ash' = Economy = Subsistence = All activities of life = The state of living). |
| 12. * | And We have built above you seven Cosmic Systems. |
| 13. * | And We have placed a Dazzling Lamp. |
| 14. * | And We send down from the rainy clouds abundant water. |
| 15. * | Thereby to bring forth grain and plant. |
| 16. * | And gardens of dense foliage. |
| 17. * | Behold, the Day of Decision is a thing appointed. |
| 18. * | A Day when the Trumpet is blown, and you come in throngs. |
| 19. * | When the gates of the sky are flung open. (Mankind learn about the high space). |
| 20. * | And the 'great ones' lose power as if they were mirage. (20:105), (56:5), (77:10), (81:3). |
| 21. * | Behold, Hell lurks in ambush. |
| 22. * | A home for the transgressors. |
| 23. * | They will abide in it for ages. (Hell is not forever. Allah's Grace comes to rescue the dwellers of the Hellfire (6:128), (11:107), (40:12). While the abode of Paradise is Eternal). |
| 24. * | Therein they taste not coolness of comfort nor drink of satisfaction. |
| 25. * | Only burning anguish and ice-cold darkness. (38:37). |
| 26. * | A befitting requital. |
| 27. * | For, behold, they never hoped to be held accountable. |
| 28. * | And they called Our Messages false with an adamant denial. |
| 29. * | But We place on Record everything. |
| 30. * | So, now, taste nothing but increasing punishment. |
| 31. * | Behold, there is supreme fulfillment for those who walk aright. |
| 32. * | Beautiful gardens and vineyards. |
| 33. * | And splendid companions, well-matched. (56:37). |
| 34. * | And a cup of delight overflowing. |
| 35. * | They shall hear no senseless talk, nor falsification therein. |
| 36. * | Reward from your Lord, a generous gift. |
| 37. * | Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is in between them, the Beneficent. None has the power to lecture Him. |
| 38. * | On the Day when the Divine Energy and the Universal forces stand forth in ranks, none will speak but he whom the Beneficent allows and say only what is right. |
| 39. * | That Day will be the Moment of Truth. So whoever wills, let him take the path that leads toward his Sustainer. |
| 40. * | Behold, We warn you of a retribution near at hand. A Day when every person will see what his own hands have sent forth. And when the denier of the Truth will say, "Oh, I wish I were mere dust." |
