By the (winds) sent forth in quick succession
which then blow tempestuousl
and raise (clouds) and scatter them around
then winnow them thoroughly
and then cast (Allah´s) remembrance (in people´s hearts)
to serve as an excuse or a warning
Surely what you are promised shall come to pass
So when the stars are extinguished
and the sky is rent asunder
and the mountains are blown away
and the appointed time to bring the Messengers together arrives, (then shall the promised event come to pass)
To which Day has this task been deferred
To the Day of Judgement
What do you know what the Day of Judgement is
Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth
Did We not destroy many a nation of the earlier times
And We shall cause those of later times to follow them
Thus do We deal with the guilty
Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth
Did We not create you of a mean fluid
which We then placed in a secure repositor
until an appointed time
See that We had the power to do so. Great indeed is Our power to do what We will
Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth
Did We not make the earth a receptacle
for the living and the dead
and did We not firmly fix towering mountains on it and give you sweet water to drink
Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth
Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false
proceed towards the three-pronged shadow
which neither provides (cooling) shade nor protection against the flames
it indeed throws up sparks like castles
which seem as though they are yellow-coloured camels
Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth
That will be the Day on which they will not (be able to) utter a word
nor will they be allowed to proffer excuses
Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth
That is the Day of Judgement on which We have assembled you as well as all those who went before you
So if you have any ploy, try it against Me
Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth
Behold, today the God-fearing will be amidst shades and springs
and the fruits that they desire (will be ready at hand)
Eat and drink and may every joy attend you as a reward for your deeds
Thus do We reward those that do good
Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth
Eat and enjoy yourselves for a while. Surely you are evil-doers
Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth
When it is said to them: "Bow down (before Allah)," they do not bow down
Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth
In what discourse after this (Qur´an) will they, then, believe
