And the winds that blow violently

And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

And those [angels] who bring criterion

And those [angels] who deliver a message.

So when the stars are obliterated

And when the heaven is opened

And when the mountains are blown away

And when the messengers' time has come...

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

And We placed it in a firm lodging [i.e., the womb]

For a known extent.

And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine.

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

Have We not made the earth a container
