(I swear by the wind) that is sent in waves, and buffets gently
And the violent wind that raises storms
Then, scatters things around
And splits them asunder
And instills (in man) the remembrance (of Allah)
As a plea, and as a warning
What you are being promised, (the Day of Decision), will very surely occur
(It will occur) when the stars lose their luster
The sky bursts asunder
The mountains (blow up and) crumble
And when all the messengers are summoned (to bear witness)
Until what day has it been put off
Till the Day of Decision
And what do you suppose is the Day of Decision
Misery that day is for those who (dispute and) deny (the truth)
Did We not wipe out the unbelievers of earlier times
We will make (the unbelievers of) the later generations follow (the same fate as that of) the earlier ones
This is what We do to the criminals
Misery that day is for those who (dispute and) deny (the truth)
Did We not create you from a (tiny) drop of filthy fluid
Which We lodged in a secure and stable setting
For a known period
This is what We destined! How very excellent is Our destiny
Misery that day is for those who (dispute and) deny (the truth)
Did We not appoint the earth to accommodate
The living, and the dead
And on the earth, We placed the high mountains; and We gave you sweet water to drink
Misery that day is for those who (dispute and) deny (the truth)
(They would be told), "Proceed now and enter (hell), the very thing you used to deny (so vehemently)."
"Proceed under the three-pronged shadow."
It neither provides the cool shade, nor lends protection against the (fierce) flames
Indeed, it will hurl sparks as tall as a (lofty) palace
Which would look like yellow camels
Misery that day is for those who (dispute and) deny (the truth)
Nothing will they say that day
Nor would they be allowed to offer excuses (and explanations)
Misery that day is for those who (dispute and) deny (the truth)
"This is the Day of Decision. (Today) We have assembled all of you together, along with (all) the earlier generations."
"If you have a trick left (up your sleeves), play it now! Outwit Me!"
Misery that day is for those who (dispute and) deny (the truth)
The pious ones (that day) would be amidst cool shades, fountains
And fruits of their choice
"Eat and drink, and relish your rewards! (It is yours) in return for what you used to do."
This is really how We reward the righteous
Misery that day is for those who (dispute and) deny (the truth)
(Oh unbelievers)! Eat and enjoy (your possessions) just a little while longer. Indeed, you are the criminals
Misery that day is for those who (dispute and) deny (the truth)
When asked to kneel (before their Lord), they refused
Misery that day is for those who (dispute and) deny (the truth)
So, after this (Qur´an), is there any other discourse they can (accept and) believe
