1. |
By the (Winds) Sent Forth one after another (to man's profit);
|
2. |
Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts,
|
3. |
And scatter (things) far and wide;
|
4. |
Then separate them, one from another,
|
5. |
Then spread abroad a Reminder,
|
6. |
Whether of Justification or of Warning;-
|
7. |
Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass.
|
8. |
Then when the stars become dim;
|
9. |
When the heaven is cleft asunder;
|
10. |
When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;
|
11. |
And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);-
|
12. |
For what Day are these (portents) deferred?
|
13. |
For the Day of Sorting out.
|
14. |
And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?
|
15. |
Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
|
16. |
Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?
|
17. |
So shall We make later (generations) follow them.
|
18. |
Thus do We deal with men of sin.
|
19. |
Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
|
20. |
Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?-
|
21. |
The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed,
|
22. |
For a period (of gestation), determined?
|
23. |
For We do determine; for We are the best to determine (things).
|
24. |
Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth!
|
25. |
Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together.
|
26. |
The living and the dead,
|
27. |
And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)?
|
28. |
Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
|
29. |
(It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false!
|
30. |
"Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns,
|
31. |
"(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze.
|
32. |
"Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts,
|
33. |
"As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)."
|
34. |
Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
|
35. |
That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak.
|
36. |
Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas.
|
37. |
Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
|
38. |
That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)!
|
39. |
Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me!
|
40. |
Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
|
41. |
As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).
|
42. |
And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire.
|
43. |
"Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness).
|
44. |
Thus do We certa 2f8 inly reward the Doers of Good.
|
45. |
Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
|
46. |
(O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners.
|
47. |
Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
|
48. |
And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so.
|
49. |
Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
|
50. |
Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?
