    1 By those scattering broadcast

    2 And those bearing the load!

    3 And those running easily!

    4 And those distributing the Affair! -

    5 What you are promised is surely true,

    6 And the Judgment will surely come to pass

    7 By the heaven full of paths!

    8 Surely you are of varying opinion -

    9 He is turned away from it who would be turned away

    10 Cursed be the liars!

    11 Who are in an abyss, neglectful;

    12 They ask: When is the day of Judgment?

    13 (It is) the day when they are tried at the Fire

    14 Taste your persecution! This is what you would hasten on

    15 Surely the dutiful are amidst Gardens and fountains,

    16 Taking that which their Lord gives them. Surely they were before that the doers of good

    17 They used to sleep but little at night

    18 And in the morning they asked (Divine) protection

    19 And in their wealth there was a due share for the beggar and for one who is denied (good)

    20 And in the earth are signs for those who are sure,

    21 And in yourselves do you not see?

    22 And in the heavens is your sustenance and that which you are promised

    23 So by the Lord of the heavens and the earth! it is surely the truth, just as you speak

    24 Has the story of Abraham's honoured guests reached thee?

    25 When they came to him, they said Peace! Peace! said he. Strangers!

    26 Then he turned aside to his family and brought a fat calf

    27 So he placed it before them. He said: Will you not eat?

    28 So he conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not. And they gave him the good news of a boy possessing knowledge

    29 Then his wife came up in grief, and she smote her face and said: A barren old woman!

    30 They said: Thus says thy Lord. Surely He is the Wise, the Knowing

    31 He said: What is your errand, O messengers!

    32 They said: We have been sent to a guilty people

    33 That we may send upon them stones of clay,

    34 Marked from thy Lord for the prodigal

    35 Then We brought forth such believers as were there

    36 And We found there but a (single) house of Muslims

    37 And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful chastisement

    38 And in Moses, when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority

    39 But he turned away on account of his might and said: An enchanter or a madman!

    40 So We seized him and his hosts and hurled them into the sea, and he was blameable

    41 And in 'Ad, when We sent upon them the destructive wind

    42 It spared naught that it came against, but it made it like ashes

    43 And in Thamad, when it was said to them: Enjoy yourselves for a while

    44 But they revolted against the commandment of their Lord, so the punishment overtook them, while they saw

    45 So they were unable to rise up, nor could they defend themselves;

    46 And the people of Noah before. Surely they were a transgressing people

    47 And the heaven, We raised it high with power, and We are Makers of the vast extent
