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 Message,
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 apostles 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 (according to need)?
23. For We do determine
(according to need); 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 certainly 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? |
