1
Your Lord swears by the blowing winds.
2
Your Lord swears by those clouds that are carrying a heavy mass of water.
3
Your Lord swears by those clouds that glide with ease.
4
Your Lord swears by those clouds that distribute their water equally throughout their trip by the order of the Almighty.
5
That whatever your Lord has promised will take place.
6
That one day you will be questioned for what you have done in your life.
7
In spit of the fact that you observe the majestic heaven, which God has created with many trajectories in it,…
8
you keep disputing the truth that He has revealed to you!
9
God, therefore, will turn away from those who have chosen to deny their Creator.
10
Doomed are those who choose their religion based upon guesses and incomplete evidences.
11
Who are deeply ignorant and careless about their religion.
12
They jokingly ask: "When will be the Day of Judgment? Why does not it happen soon, if it is true?]"
13
The answer is: "When they will be thrown into the Fire. "
14
They will be told: "Taste the result of your mischief. This is the event that you wanted to take place soon."
15
On that Day, the righteous ones will be welcomed to the gardens with water springs.
16
They will joyfully receive the reward that their Lord will give them for doing good deeds in their worldly lives.
17
They cut their sleeping at night short to worship their Lord.
18
And around dawn ask their Lord for forgiveness.
19
And gave a part of their wealth to the needy ones (whether the latter asked for it or not) realizing that what they own is not completely theirs.
20
Earth is full of signs [indicating the existence of God, Oneness of God, hasting toward a doomed destiny, etc. ] for those who believe.
21
In your own selves, too, the believer find many signs to strengthen their faith.
22
Your provision, as well as whatever is promised to you [destiny, talent, new discoveries, achievements, etc. ], is already decided in the heaven.
23
By the Lord of Heaven [the world of unseen] and the earth [materialistic world] whatever you have heard is as true as any truth that you speak yourself about.
24
Have you ever heard the story of the Abraham’s honored guests?
25
When they [angles appearing like human beings] reached him they wished peace for him. Abraham returned their salutation saying: "Peace also be with you my noble stranger guests."
26
He asked his family to roast a fat cow for his guests.
27
When they did not touch the food, Abraham asked "Do not you want to eat?"
28
As they refused to eat, fear overtook him. The angles said: "Do not be afraid, we are here to give you a good news: Pretty soon God will give you a wise and knowledgeable son."
29
His wife, overhearing them, came out (struck her forehead) saying: "From an old and barren woman like me?"
30
They said: "That is what your Lord has decided; He is the Most Wise, the Most Knowledgeable. "
31
Abraham asked then: "It sounds that you have come to accomplish an important mission. "
32
They replied: "We are sent to punish the guilty people [of Prophet Lot]. "
33
"To shower them with hot clays. "
34
"Each stone being marked by Lord to punish a specific sinner. "
35
"Another mission of ours is to evacuate the town from believers. "
36
"But we have found only one Muslim (submitted to God) household [Lot’s household]. "
37
"We set it up as an example for those who do not want to face the punishment of the Lord. "
38
And the story of Moses whom God sent with the most clear signs to Pharaoh.
39
But Pharaoh rejected did not believe in those miracles out of pride and said: "This man is either crazy or a magician. "
40
Then I (God) punished him and his army by casting them into the sea. He is the one to be blamed for his fate.
41
And the story of Ad whom God sent a disastrous wind to his guilty people.
42
Which destroyed anything on its path.
43
And the story of Thamud when they were told: "You are given only a short time to enjoy [may you take advantage of it and change] your style of life. "
44
As they continued to challenge their Lord, they were overtaken by a sudden thunderbolt.
45
They did not even have time to stand up and run.
46
And the story of Noah’s people whom I destroyed as they were so wicked.
47
I (God) have created the universe myself and will continue to expand it [confirmation of the expansion theory of the universe after the Big Bang. ]
48
I have made the earth habitable for its inhabitant; excellently designed [eco-system].
49
I have put a pair of everything in it so that you may wonder about the creative power of your Creator.
50
Tell them: "Take refuge in God; I (Mohammad) am sent to you as His Warner. "
51
"Do not set up another God [idol, boss, money, woman, etc. ] to worship beside Him; I am sent to you as His Warner."
52
This is a trend: whenever a Prophet is sent to a people, they would say: "He is a crazy magician. "
53
Is it because they have arrived to such after a rational debate? Indeed not. The fact of the matter is that such accusations are the natural reactions of rebellious people.
54
So, forget about them. Your job has been to relay the message. You (Mohammed) are not responsible for their behaviors.
55
Continue admonishing; the believers will benefit from the admonition.
56
I have created men and extra-terrestrials (Jinns) to serve only me [not a ruler, a woman, a constitution, etc. ]
57
I (God) do not need any provision from them, nor do I ask them to feed Me.
58
On the contrary, God, the supreme and the Most Powerful, is the One Who provides provision for his creatures.
59
The sinners will have the same destiny as those who sinned before them. Tell them not to jokingly ask Me to accelerate it.
60
What a miserable Day will be when the disbelievers face their fate.
