1
By those drawn up in ranks,
2
and by the warners crying warning,
3
and by the reciters of the Reminder:
5
Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything between them; Lord of the Easts.
6
We have adorned the lowest heaven with the beauty of the planets
7
and guarded it against every defiant shaytan.
8
They cannot eavesdrop on the Highest Assembly and they are stoned from every side,
9
repelled with harshness – they will suffer eternal punishment –
10
except for him who snatches a snippet and then is pursued by a piercing flame.
11
Ask them for a fatwa: is it they who are stronger in structure or other things We have created? We created them from sticky clay.
12
No wonder you are surprised as they laugh with scorn!
13
When they are reminded they do not pay heed.
14
When they see a Sign they only laugh with scorn.
15
They say, 'This is just downright magic.
16
When we are dead and turned to dust and bones will we then be raised up again alive?
17
And our earlier ancestors as well?'
18
Say: 'Yes, and you will be in a despicable state.'
19
There will be but one Great Blast and then their eyes will open.
20
They will say, 'Alas for us! This is the Day of Reckoning!'
21
This is the Day of Decision you used to deny.
22
Assemble those who did wrong together with their associates and what they worshipped
23
besides Allah, and guide them to the Path of the Blazing Fire!
24
And call them to a halt. They will be asked:
25
'Why are you not helping one another?'
26
No, today they come in absolute submission.
27
They will confront each other, questioning one another.
28
One group will say, 'You used to come at us from a position of power.'
29
The others will say, 'The truth is that you were not muminun.
30
We had no authority over you. Rather you were unbridled people.
