| 1. * | The Inevitable! (Day of Judgment). |
| 2. * | What is the Inevitable? |
| 3. * | Would that you knew (in detail) what the Inevitable is! |
| 4. * | The people of Thamud and Ad denied the Day of Judgment. |
| 5. * | The Thamuds were destroyed by a violent blast of sound. |
| 6. * | The Ads were destroyed by a swift, destructive gale |
| 7. * | which continued to strike them for seven and eight days so that eventually you could see the people lying dead like the hollow trunks of uprooted palm-trees. |
| 8. * | Can you see any of their survivors? |
| 9. * | The Pharaoh, those who lived before him and the people of the Subverted Cities all persisted in doing evil. |
| 10. * | They disobeyed the Messenger of their Lord and He seized them with torment which increased with time. |
| 11. * | When the flood rose high and covered the whole land, We carried you in the Ark. |
| 12. * | as a lesson for you, but only attentive ears will retain it. |
| 13. * | With the first blast of sound from the trumpet, |
| 14. * | the earth and mountains will be raised up high and crushed all together. |
| 15. * | On that day, the inevitable event will take place |
| 16. * | and the heavens will be rent asunder, and will turn frail, losing all force. |
| 17. * | The angels will be around the heavens and on that day eight of them will carry the Throne of your Lord above all the creatures. |
| 18. * | On that day all your secrets will be exposed. |
| 19. * | Those who will receive the books of the records of their deeds in their right hands will say, "Come and read my record. |
| 20. * | I was sure that the record of my deeds would be shown to me". |
| 21. * | They will have a pleasant life |
| 22. * | in an exalted garden |
| 23. * | with fruits within easy reach. |
| 24. * | Such people will be told, "Eat and drink with pleasure as the reward for what you did in the past". |
| 25. * | However, those who will receive the books of the records of their deeds in their left hands will say, "We wish that this record had never been given to us |
| 26. * | and that we would never knew what our records contained. |
| 27. * | Would that death had taken us away for good. |
| 28. * | Our wealth is of no benefit to us |
| 29. * | and our belief has destroyed us". |
| 30. * | The angels will be told, "Seize and chain them, |
| 31. * | then throw them into hell to be heated up therein. |
| 32. * | Fasten a chain to them - seventy cubits long - |
| 33. * | they did not believe in the great God, |
| 34. * | nor were they concerned with feeding the destitute. |
| 35. * | On this day, they will have no friends |
| 36. * | and no food except pus |
| 37. * | which only the sinners eat". |
| 38. * | I do not need to swear by what you see |
| 39. * | and what you do not see |
| 40. * | because the Quran is certainly the word of a reverent messenger. |
| 41. * | It is not the word of a poet but only a few of you have faith, |
| 42. * | nor is it the work of a soothsayer but only a few of you take heed. |
| 43. * | It is a revelation from the Lord of the Universe. |
| 44. * | Had Muhammad invented some words against Us, |
| 45. * | We would have caught hold of him by his right hand |
| 46. * | and cut-off his main artery. |
| 47. * | None of you would be able to prevent Us from doing this to him. |
| 48. * | The Quran is certainly a reminder for the pious ones. |
| 49. * | We certainly know that some of you have rejected it |
| 50. * | and (on the Day of Judgment) this will be a great source of regret for the unbelievers. |
| 51. * | This is the Truth beyond any doubt. |
| 52. * | (Muhammad), glorify the name of your Lord, the Great One. |
