By the winds that scatter the dust,
2
and those that bear the burden (of the rain),
3
and those speeding along with ease,
4
and distributing the command of God at His behest!
5
What you are promised is certainly true:
6
the Judgement will surely come to pass
7
by the heaven full of tracks,
8
surely you are deeply at variance (as to what to believe)
9
he is turned away from (the truth) who is destined to be so turned away.
10
May the conjecturers perish,
11
who flounder in the depths of ignorance.
12
They ask, 'When will the Day of Judgement come?'
13
It will be the Day when they are tormented at the Fire.
14
'Taste your trial. This is what you sought to hasten.'
15

16
They shall receive what their Lord will bestow on them. They have done good works in the past,
17

19
and sharing their possessions with the beggars and the deprived.
20
On the earth, and in yourselves,
21
there are signs for firm believers. Do you not see then?
22
In heaven is your sustenance, and also that which you are promised.
23
By the Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is certainly the truth. It is as true as your ability to speak.

25
When they came to him they said, 'Peace!' He answered, 'Peace!' (saying to himself). 'They are strangers.'
26
Then he turned quickly to his household, and brought a fatted calf,
27
and placed it before them. 'Will you not eat?' he said,
28
beginning to be afraid of them. But they said, 'Don't be afraid'; and they gave him the good news of a son who would be endowed with knowledge.
29
Then his wife came forward, crying and beating her brow. She said, 'I am surely a barren, old woman.'
30
'Such is the will of your Lord,' they replied. 'He is the Wise, the All Knowing.'
