and by the scatterers scattering (rain) (3)

then the criterion (the verses of Koran), separating (4)

and those (angels) dropping, reminding (5)

excusing or warning, (6)

surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! (7)

When the stars are extinguished, (8)

and when the sky is rent asunder (9)

and the mountains scattered, (10)

and when the Messengers' time is set (11)

to what day shall they be deferred? (12)
