In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

By the (winds) which are sent in succession,

which then blow tempestuously,

and lift up (the clouds) and scatter them,

then split (them) asunder,

then infuse (the hearts) with the remembrance (of God),

as an excuse or as a warning.

That which you are being promised, must happen.

Then, when the stars become dim4

and the heaven is rent asunder,

and the mountains are thrashed into dust,

and the time of the Messengers' appointment comes (that Day it shall happen).

For what day has all this been deferred?

For the Day of Decision.

And what do you know what the Day of Decision is?

Woe on that Day to the deniers (of Truth)!

Did We not destroy the former peoples?

Then We shall follow them up with those of latter day.

Thus do We deal with the culprits.

Woe on that Day to the deniers (of Truth)!

Did We not create you out of a mean fluid,

and kept it lodged in a secure place

for an appointed term?

Behold! We had power to do this, as We are excellent Possessors of power!

Woe on that Day to the deniers (of Truth)!

Have We not made the earth a receptacle,

both for the living and for the dead,

and set in it high mountains, and given you sweet water to drink?

Woe on that Day to the deniers (of Truth)!

Go off now to the same that you used to deny.

Go off to the shadow which has three branches.

It neither gives coolness nor shelter from the flame of Fire.

The Fire shall throw off sparks as huge as castles

as though they were yellow camels.

Woe on that Day to the deniers (of Truth)!

That is the Day when they shall neither speak

nor be given leave to offer excuses.

Woe on that Day to the deniers (of Truth!)

This is the Day of Decision. We have gathered both you and those who had gone before you together.

Now, if you have a trick, use it against Me.

Woe on that Day to the deniers (of Truth)!
