6 And as for A'ad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind,

7 Which Allah imposed on them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so that you could see men lying overthrown (destroyed), as if they were hollow trunks of date-palms!

7 Which He imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown, as they were hollow trunks of palm - trees.

8 Do you see any remnants of them?

8 Canst thou (O Muhammad) see any remnant of them ?

9 And Pharaoh and those before him, and the communities that were destroyed, brought error,

10 And they disobeyed their Lord's Messenger, so He seized them with a strong punishment.

10 And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, therefor did He grip them with a tightening grip.

11 Verily, when the water rose beyond its limits [Nuh's (Noah) Flood], We carried you (mankind) in the floating [ship that was constructed by Nuh (Noah)]

11 Lo! when the waters rose, We carried you upon the ship

12 That We might make it (Noah's ship) an admonition for you and that it might be retained by the retaining ears.

12 That We might make it a memorial for you, and that remembering ears (that heard the story) might remember.

13 Then when the Trumpet will be blown with one blowing (the first one).

13 And when the trumpet shall sound one blast

14 And the earth and the mountains shall be removed from their places, and crushed with a single crushing.

15 Then on that Day shall the (Great) Event befall.

15 Then, on that day will the Event befall.

16 And the heaven will be rent asunder, for that Day it (the heaven) will be frail and torn up.

16 And the heaven will split asunder, for that day it will be frail.

17 And the angels will be on its sides, and eight angels will, that Day, bear the Throne of your Lord above them.

22 In a high garden

23 The fruits in bunches whereof will be low and near at hand.

23 Whereof the clusters are in easy reach.

24 Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent on before you in days past!

24 (And it will be said unto those therein): Eat and drink at ease for that which ye sent on before you in past days.

36 Nor any food save filth

37 None will eat it except the Khati'un (sinners, disbelievers, polytheists).

37 Which none but sinners eat.

38 So I swear by whatsoever you see,

38 But nay! I swear by all that ye see

40 That this is verily, the word of an honoured Messenger [i.e. Jibril (Gabriel) or Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم which he has brought from Allah].

40 That it is indeed the speech of an illustrious messenger.

41 It is not the word of a poet: little is that you believe!

41 It is not poet's speech - little is it that ye believe!

42 Nor is it the word of a soothsayer (or a foreteller): little is that you remember!

42 Nor diviner's speech - little is it that ye remember!

43 This is the Revelation sent down from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).

43 It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

44 And if he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allah جل جلاله),

44 And if he had invented false sayings concerning Us,

45 We surely would have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might),

45 We assuredly had taken him by the right hand

46 And then We certainly would have cut off his life artery (aorta),

46 And then severed his life - artery,

47 And none of you could have withheld Us from (punishing) him.

47 And not one of you could have held Us off from him.

48 And verily, this (Qur'an) is a Reminder for the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2).

48 And lo! it is a warrant unto those who ward off (evil).

49 And verily, We know that there are some among you that belie (this Qur'an). (Tafsir At-Tabari)

49 And lo! We know that some among you will deny (it).

50 And indeed it (this Qur'an) will be an anguish for the disbelievers (on the Day of Resurrection).

50 And lo! it is indeed an anguish for the disbelievers.

51 And verily, it (this Qur'an) is an absolute truth with certainty.
