By ones who are sent successively,
by the storm and raging tempest,
by that which causes vegetation to revive, unfolding
by the ones who separate a separating
by ones who cast a remembrance
as excusing or warning,
truly, what you are promised will be that which falls.
Then, when the stars will be obliterated
and when the heaven will be cleaved asunder
and when the mountains will be scattered
and when the time will be set for the Messengers,
for which Day were these appointed?
For the Day of Decision.
And what would cause thee to recognize what the Day of Decision is?
Woe on that Day to the ones who deny!
Caused We not the ancient ones to perish?
Again, We will pursue the later ones.
Thus, We accomplish this with the ones who sin.
Woe on that Day to the ones who deny!
Create We you not of despicable water?
Then, We made it in a secure stopping place
for a known measuring?
And We measured. How bountiful are the ones who measure!
Woe on that day to the ones who deny!
Make We not the earth a place of drawing together
the living and the lifeless?
We made on it soaring, firm mountains. We satiated you with water of the sweetest kind.
Woe on that Day to the ones who deny!
Set out toward what you had been in it denying.
Set out to the shade. It is possessor of three columns,
having no shade nor availing you against the flaming!
Truly, it will throw up sparks of fire like the palace,
as though it was a string of saffron-colored male camels.
Woe on that Day to the ones who deny!
This Day they will not speak for themselves
nor will they be given permission so that they make excuses.
Woe on that Day to the ones who deny!
This is the Day of Decision; We gathered you and the ancient ones.
So if you had been cunning, then, try to outwit Me.
Woe on that Day to the ones who deny!
Truly, the ones who are Godfearing will be amidst shade and springs
and sweet fruit for which they lust:
Eat and drink wholesomely for what you had been doing.
Truly, We, thus, give recompense to the ones who are doers of good.
Woe on that Day to the ones who deny!
Eat, take joy for a little. You are ones who sin.
Woe on that Day to the ones who deny!
When it will be said: Bow down, they bow not down.
Woe on that Day to the ones who deny!
Then, in which discourse after this will they believe?
