By the (winds) sent forth in quick succession, 1 storming tempestuously 2 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive; 3 then the criterion (the verses of Koran), separating 4 And those winds that bring down the remembrance. 5 to excuse some and warn others: 6 Surely, what you are promised must come to pass. 7 Then when the stars lose their lights; 8 It will throw out sparks as logs of wood 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 11 For what day is the time appointed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what knowest thou what the Day of Decision is? 14 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients, 16 So shall We make later (generations) follow them. 17 This is how We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you of a mean fluid, 20 The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed, 21 For a known period (determined by gestation)? 22 So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things). 23 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 24 Made We not the earth to be a housing 25 for the living and the dead, 26 and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 28 Walk on to that which you called a lie. 29 Proceed to a shadow rising in three columns: 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts, 32 "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)." 33 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 34 That will be a Day when they shall not speak (during some part of it), 35 nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses. 36 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 37 This is the Day of Decision; We have gathered you and all the earlier men. 38 So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now). 39 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 40
