Surah “The Emissaries, Winds Sent Forth”

as rendered by Muhammad Sarwar — 50 verses

By (the angels) sent forth with the commands of God
by (the angels) as swift as blowing winds
by (the angels) spreading (the words of God) far and wide
by (the angels) who make a clear distinction between right and wrong
and by those who reveal revelations (to the prophets
to provide excuses for some and to give warnings to others
that whatever with which you have been warned will inevitably come to pass
Then the stars will lose their light
Heavens will rent asunder
The mountains will be blown away as dust
The Messengers will receive their appointments
If one asks, "To which day have such calamitous events been postponed?"
one will be told,"To the Day of Distinction"
Would that you knew about the Day of Judgment
On that day, woe will be to those who have rejected God's revelations
Did We not destroy the ancient people
and make others settle after them in their land
Thus do We deal with the sinful ones
On that day, woe upon those who have rejected God's revelations
Did We not create you from an insignificant drop of fluid
and place it in a secure place
for an appointed time
Thus did We Plan and how excellent is Our planning
On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected the revelations of God
Did We not make the earth as a gathering place
for the living and the dead
place on it high mountains and provide you with fresh water
On that Day (of Judgment) woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations
Proceed to that (the Day of Judgment) which you have rejected
Proceed to that shadow, rising in three columns
which neither gives shade nor protects one from the flames
The fire will shoot out sparks as big as huge tower
and yellow camels
On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations
On that day they will not be able to speak
nor will they be permitted to offer any excuses
On that day, woe would be those who have rejected God's revelations
That is the Day of Judgment. We will bring you together with all the ancient peoples
If you have any plans, use them
On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations
The pious ones will rest amid the shade, springs
and fruits of the kind which they desire
(They will be told), "Eat and drink in good health as a reward for what you have done"
Thus do We reward the righteous ones
On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations
(Disbelievers), eat and enjoy yourselves for a little while. You are certainly sinful ones
On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations
When they are told to say their prayers, they do not bow down (in prayer)
On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations
In which word other than the Quran will they believe
