Surah “The Emissaries, Winds Sent Forth”

as rendered by Faridul Haque — 50 verses

By oath of those that are sent, one after the other. (The verses of the Holy Qur’an or the angels or the winds)
Then by oath of those that push with a strong gust
Then by oath of those that lift and carry
Then by those that clearly differentiate the right and wrong
And then by those that instil Remembrance into the hearts
To complete the argument or to warn
Indeed what you are promised, will surely befall
So when the lights of the stars are put out
And when the sky is split apart
And when the mountains are made into dust and blown away
And when the time of the Noble Messengers arrives
For which day were they appointed
For the Day of Decision
And what do you know, what the Day of Decision is
Ruin is for the deniers on that day
Did We not destroy the earlier people
We shall then send the latter after them
This is how We deal with the guilty
Ruin is for the deniers on that day
Did We not create you from an abject fluid
We then kept it in a safe place
For a known calculated term
We then calculated; so how excellently do We control
Ruin is for the deniers on that day
Did We not make the earth a storehouse
For the living and the dead among you
And We placed high mountains as anchors in it and gave you sweet water to drink
Ruin is for the deniers on that day
“Move towards what you used to deny!”
“Move towards the shadow of the smoke having three branches.”
“Which neither gives shade, nor saves from the flame.”
Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles
Seeming like yellow camels
Ruin is for the deniers on that day
This is a day in which they will not be able to speak
Nor will they be given permission to present excuses
Ruin is for the deniers on that day
This is the Day of Decision; We have gathered you and all the earlier men
If you now have any conspiracy, carry it out on Me
Ruin is for the deniers on that day
Indeed the pious are in shade and springs
And among fruits whichever they may desire
“Eat and drink with pleasure, the reward of your deeds.”
This is how We reward the virtuous
Ruin is for the deniers on that day
“Eat and enjoy for a while - indeed you are guilty.”
Ruin is for the deniers on that day
And when it is said to them, “Offer the prayer” – they do not
Ruin is for the deniers on that day
So after this, in what matter will they believe
