1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another

1 I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),

2 By the raging hurricanes,

2 By the raging hurricanes,

3 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive;

3 Which scatter clouds to their destined places,

4 By those who winnow with a winnowing,

4 Then separate them one from another,

5 By those who bring down the Reminder,

5 Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,

6 To excuse or to warn,

6 To clear or to warn.

7 Surely that which ye are promised will befall.

7 Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass.

8 So when the stars are put out,

8 So when the stars are made to lose their light,

9 And when the sky is riven asunder,

9 And when the heaven is rent asunder,

10 And when the mountains are blown away,

10 And when the mountains are carried away as dust,

11 And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed -

11 And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time

12 For what day is the time appointed ?

12 To what day is the doom fixed?

13 For the Day of Decision.

13 To the day of decision.

14 And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! -

14 And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is?

15 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

15 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

16 Destroyed We not the former folk,

16 Did We not destroy the former generations?

17 Then caused the latter folk to follow after ?

17 Then did We follow them up with later ones.

18 Thus deal We ever with the guilty.

18 Even thus shall We deal with the guilty.

19 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

19 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

20 Did We not create you from a base fluid

20 Did We not create you from contemptible water?

21 Which We laid up in a safe abode

21 Then We placed it in a secure resting - place,

22 For a known term ?

22 Till an appointed term,

23 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging!

23 So We proportion it - - how well are We at proportioning (things).

24 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

24 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

25 Have We not made the earth a receptacle

25 Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself,

26 Both for the living and the dead,

26 The living and the dead,

27 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein ?

27 And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water?

28 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

28 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

29 (It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny;

29 Walk on to that which you called a lie.

30 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold,

30 Walk on to the covering having three branches,

31 (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame.

31 Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame.

32 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles,

32 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces,

33 (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue.

33 As if they were tawny camels.

34 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

34 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

35 This is a day wherein they speak not,

35 This is the day on which they shall not speak,

36 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses.

36 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses.

37 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

37 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

38 This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together.

38 This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore.

39 If now ye have any wit, outwit Me.

39 So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now).

40 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

40 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

41 Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains,

41 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be amid shades and fountains,

42 And fruits such as they desire.

42 And fruits such as they desire.

43 (Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye blessed, in return for what ye did.

43 Eat and drink pleasantly because of what you did.

44 Thus do We reward the good.

44 Surely thus do We reward the doers of good.

47 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

47 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

48 When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down!

48 And where it is said to them: Bow down, they do not bow down.

49 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

49 Woe on that day to the rejecters.
