4 By those who winnow with a winnowing,

Saheeh International

4 And those [angels] who bring criterion

5 By those who bring down the Reminder,

Saheeh International

5 And those [angels] who deliver a message

Pickthall

6 To excuse or to warn,

Saheeh International

6 As justification or warning,

Pickthall

7 Surely that which ye are promised will befall.

Saheeh International

7 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.

Pickthall

8 So when the stars are put out,

Saheeh International

8 So when the stars are obliterated

Pickthall

9 And when the sky is riven asunder,

Saheeh International

9 And when the heaven is opened

Pickthall

10 And when the mountains are blown away,

Saheeh International

10 And when the mountains are blown away

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

Pickthall

16 Destroyed We not the former folk,

Saheeh International

16 Did We not destroy the former peoples?

Pickthall

17 Then caused the latter folk to follow after ?

Saheeh International

17 Then We will follow them with the later ones.

Pickthall

20 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained?

Pickthall

21 Which We laid up in a safe abode

Saheeh International

21 And We placed it in a firm lodging

Pickthall

22 For a known term ?

Saheeh International

22 For a known extent.

Pickthall

23 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging!

Saheeh International

23 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine.

Pickthall

24 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

Saheeh International

Saheeh International

25 Have We not made the earth a container

Pickthall

26 Both for the living and the dead,

Saheeh International

26 Of the living and the dead?

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

28 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

29 [They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny.

Pickthall

30 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold,

Saheeh International

30 Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

31 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame."

Pickthall

32 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles,

Saheeh International

32 Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress,

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

33 As if they were yellowish [black] camels.

Pickthall

34 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

38 This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples.

Pickthall

39 If now ye have any wit, outwit Me.

Saheeh International

39 So if you have a plan, then plan against Me.

Pickthall

40 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

Saheeh International

40 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

41 Indeed, the righteous will be among shades and springs

Pickthall

42 And fruits such as they desire.

Saheeh International

42 And fruits from whatever they desire,

Pickthall

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

Saheeh International

43 [Being told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do."

Pickthall

44 Thus do We reward the good.

Saheeh International
