In the name of Allah,
the Gracious, the Merciful
- By those unleashed in succession.
- Storming turbulently.
- Scattering far and wide.
- Separating decisively.
- Delivering a message.
- Excusing or warning.
- Surely what you are promised will happen.
- When the stars are obliterated.
- And the sky is fractured.
- And the mountains are blown away.
- And the messengers are alerted.
- Until which day is it deferred?
- Until the Day of Decision.
- And what will teach you what the Day of
Decision is? - Woe on that Day to the liars.
- Did We not destroy the ancients?
- Then succeeded them with the others?
- This is how We deal with the guilty.
- Woe on that Day to the rejecters.
- Did We not create you from an insignificant fluid?
- Then lodged it in a secure place?
- For a known term?
- We measured precisely. We are the best to
measure. - Woe on that Day to the falsifiers.
- Did We not make the earth a homestead?
- For the living and the dead?
- And set on it lofty mountains, and given
you pure water to drink? - Woe on that Day to the deniers.
- “Proceed to what you used to deny.”
- “Proceed to a shadow of three different
masses.” - Offering no shade, and unavailing against
the flames. - It shoots sparks as castles.
- As if they were yellow camels.
- Woe on that Day to the liars.
- This is a Day when they will not speak.
- And they will not be allowed to apologize.
- Woe on that Day to the rejecters.
- This is the Day of Separation; We have
gathered you, together with the ancients. - So if you have a strategy, use it against Me.
- Woe on that Day to the falsifiers.
- The righteous will be amidst shades and
fountains. - And fruits as they desire.
- “Eat and drink pleasantly, for what you
used to do.” - This is how We reward the doers of good.
- Woe on that Day to the deniers.
- “Eat and enjoy yourselves a little; you are
indeed criminals.” - Woe on that Day to the liars.
- And when it is said to them, “Kneel”, they
do not kneel. - Woe on that Day to the rejecters.
- In what message, beyond this, will they believe?
