| In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. |
| 1. |

By the winds (or
angels or the Messengers of Allâh) sent forth one after
another. |
| 2. |

And by the winds
that blow violently, |
| 3. |

And by the winds
that scatter clouds and rain; |
| 4. |

And by the Verses
(of the Qur'ân) that separate the right from the wrong. |
| 5. |

And by the angels
that bring the revelations to the Messengers, |
| 6. |

To cut off all
excuses or to warn; |
| 7. |

Surely, what you
are promised must come to pass. |
| 8. |

Then when the
stars lose their lights; |
| 9. |

And when the heaven
is cleft asunder; |
| 10. |

And when the
mountains are blown away; |
| 11. |

And when the
Messengers are gathered to their time appointed; |
| 12. |

For what Day
are these signs postponed? |
| 13. |

For the Day of
sorting out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell). |
| 14. |

And what will
explain to you what is the Day of sorting out? |
| 15. |

Woe that Day
to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! |
| 16. |

Did We not destroy
the ancients? |
| 17. |

So shall We make
later generations to follow them. |
| 18. |

Thus do We deal
with the Mujrimûn (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners,
criminals, etc.)! |
| 19. |

Woe that Day
to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! |
| 20. |

Did We not create
you from a worthless water (semen, etc.)? |
| 21. |

Then We placed
it in a place of safety (womb), |
| 22. |

For a known period
(determined by gestation)? |
| 23. |

So We did measure,
and We are the Best to measure (the things). |
| 24. |

Woe that Day
to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! |
| 25. |

Have We not made
the earth a receptacle? |
| 26. |

For the living
and the dead. |
| 27. |

And have placed
therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink
sweet water? |
| 28. |

Woe that Day
to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! |
| 29. |

(It will be said
to the disbelievers): "Depart you to that which you used
to deny! |
| 30. |

"Depart
you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) in three columns, |
| 31. |

"Neither
shading, nor of any use against the fierce flame of the Fire." |
| 32. |

Verily! It (Hell)
throws sparks (huge) as Al-Qasr [a fort or a Qasr (huge
log of wood)], |
| 33. |

As if they were
Jimâlatun Sufr (yellow camels or bundles of ropes)." |
| 34. |

Woe that Day
to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! |
| 35. |

That will be
a Day when they shall not speak (during some part of it), |
| 36. |

And they will
not be permitted to put forth any excuse. |
| 37. |

Woe that Day
to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! |
| 38. |

That will be
a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together! |
| 39. |

So if you have
a plot, use it against Me (Allâh swt
)! |
| 40. |

Woe that Day
to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! |
| 41. |

Verily, the Muttaqûn
(pious - see V.2:2) shall be amidst shades and springs. |
| 42. |

And fruits,
such as they desire. |
| 43. |

"Eat and
drink comfortably for that which you used to do. |
| 44. |

Verily, thus
We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers). |
| 45. |

Woe that Day
to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! |
| 46. |

(O you disbelievers)!
Eat and enjoy yourselves (in this worldly life) for a little while.
Verily, you are the Mujrimûn (polytheists, disbelievers,
sinners, criminals, etc.). |
| 47. |

Woe that Day
to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! |
| 48. |

And when it is
said to them: "Bow down yourself (in prayer)!" They
bow not down (offer not their prayers)[] . |
| 49. |

Woe that Day
to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! |
| 50. |

Then in what
statement after this (the Qur'ân) will they believe? |
