An-Naba'

(1)What are they asking (one another)?

(2)About the great news, (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism, the Qur'ân, which Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)brought and the Day of Resurrection, etc.),

(3)About which they are in disagreement.

(4)Nay, they will come to know!

(5)Nay, again, they will come to know!

(6)Have We not made the earth as a bed,

(7)And the mountains as pegs?

(8)And We have created you in pairs (male and female, tall and short, good and bad, etc.).

(9)And have made your sleep as a thing for rest.

(10)And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness),

(11)And have made the day for livelihood.

(12)And We have built above you seven strong (heavens),

(13)And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun).

(14)And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water.

(15)That We may produce therewith corn and vegetations,

(16)And gardens of thick growth.

(17)Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time,

(18)The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups);

(19)And the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates,

(20)And the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage.

(21)Truly, Hell is a place of ambush,

(22)A dwelling place for the Tâghûn (those who transgress the boundry limits set by Allâh like polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh, hyprocrites, sinners, criminals, etc.),

(23)They will abide therein for ages,

(24)Nothing cool shall they taste therein, nor any drink.

(25)Except boiling water, and dirty wound discharges.

(26)An exact recompense (according to their evil crimes).

(27)For verily, they used not to look for a reckoning.

(28)But they belied Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, and that which Our Prophet (Peace be upon him) brought) completely.

(29)And all things We have recorded in a Book.

(30)So taste you (the results of your evil actions); no increase shall We give you, except in torment.

(31)Verily, for the Muttaqûn[], there will be a success (Paradise);

(32)Gardens and grapeyards;

(33)And young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age;

(34)And a full cup (of wine).

(35)No Laghw (dirty, false, evil talk) shall they hear therein, nor lying;

(36)A reward from your Lord, an ample calculated gift (according to the best of their good deeds)[].

(37)(From) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and whatsoever is in between them, the Most Beneficent, none can dare to speak with Him (on the Day of Resurrection except after His Leave).

(38)The Day that Ar-Rûh [Jibrael (Gabriel) or another angel] and the angels will stand forth in rows, none shall speak except him whom the Most Beneficent (Allâh) allows, and he will speak what is right.

(39)That is without doubt the True Day, so, whosoever wills, let him seek a place with (or a way to) His Lord (by obeying Him in this worldly life)!

(40)Verily, We have warned you of a near torment, the Day when man will see that (the deeds) which his hands have sent forth, and the disbeliever will say: "Woe to me! Would that I were dust!"

Al-Mursalât

(1)By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allâh) sent forth one after another.

(2)And by the winds that blow violently,

(3)And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain;

(4)And by the Verses (of the Qur'ân) that separate the right from the wrong.

(5)And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers,

(6)To cut off all excuses or to warn;

(7)Surely, what you are promised must come to pass.

(8)Then when the stars lose their lights;

(9)And when the heaven is cleft asunder;

(10)And when the mountains are blown away;

(11)And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed;

(12)For what Day are these signs postponed?

(13)For the Day of sorting out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell).

(14)And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out?

(15)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(16)Did We not destroy the ancients?

(17)So shall We make later generations to follow them.

(18)Thus do We deal with the Mujrimûn (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.)!

(19)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(20)Did We not create you from a worthless water (semen, etc.)?

(21)Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb),

(22)For a known period (determined by gestation)?

(23)So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things).

(24)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(25)Have We not made the earth a receptacle?

(26)For the living and the dead.

(27)And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water?

(28)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(29)(It will be said to the disbelievers): "Depart you to that which you used to deny!

(30)"Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) in three columns,

(31)"Neither shading, nor of any use against the fierce flame of the Fire."

(32)Verily! It (Hell) throws sparks (huge) as Al-Qasr [a fort or a Qasr (huge log of wood)],

(33)As if they were Jimâlatun Sufr (yellow camels or bundles of ropes)."

(34)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(35)That will be a Day when they shall not speak (during some part of it),

(36)And they will not be permitted to put forth any excuse.

(37)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(38)That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together!

(39)So if you have a plot, use it against Me (Allâh swt )!

(40)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(41)Verily, the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2) shall be amidst shades and springs.

(42)And fruits, such as they desire.

(43)"Eat and drink comfortably for that which you used to do.

(44)Verily, thus We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers).

(45)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(46)(O you disbelievers)! Eat and enjoy yourselves (in this worldly life) for a little while. Verily, you are the Mujrimûn (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.).

(47)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(48)And when it is said to them: "Bow down yourself (in prayer)!" They bow not down (offer not their prayers)[] .

(49)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(50)Then in what statement after this (the Qur'ân) will they believe?
