77:1  CONSIDER these [messages,] sent forth in wave
77:2  and then storming on with a tempest's force
77:3  Consider these [messages] that spread [the truth] far and wide
77:4  thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity
77:5  and then giving forth a reminder
77:6  [promising] freedom from blame or [offering] a warning
77:7  BEHOLD, all that you are told to expect will surely come to pass
77:8  Thus, [it will come to pass] when the stars are effaced
77:9  and when the sky is rent asunder
77:10  and when the mountains are scattered like dust
77:11  and when all the apostles are called together at a time appointed..
77:12  For what day has the term [of all this] been set
77:13  For the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false]
77:14  And what could make thee conceive what that Day of Distinction will be
77:15  Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth
77:16  Did We not destroy [so many of] those [sinners] of olden days
77:17  And We shall let them be followed by those of later times
77:18  [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin
77:19  Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth
77:20  Did We not create you out of a humble flui
77:21  which We then let remain in [the womb's] firm keepin
77:22  for a term pre-ordained
77:23  Thus have We determined [the nature of man's creation]: and excellent indeed is Our power to determine [what is to be]
77:24  Woe, on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth
77:25  Have We not caused the earth to hold within itsel
77:26  the living and the dead
77:27  and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink
77:28  Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth
77:29  GO ON towards that [resurrection] which you were wont to call a lie
77:30  Go on towards the threefold shado
77:31  that will offer no [cooling] shade and will be of no avail against the flam
77:32  which – behold!- will throw up sparks like [burning] logs
77:33  like giant fiery ropes
77:34  Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth –
77:35  that Day on which they will not [be able to] utter a word
77:36  nor be allowed to proffer excuses
77:37  Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth –
77:38  that Day of Distinction [between the true and the false, when they will be told]: "We have brought you together with those [sinners] of olden times
77:39  and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!"
77:40  Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth
77:41  [AS AGAINST this,] behold, the God-conscious shall dwell amidst [cooling] shades and springs
77:42  and [partake of] whatever fruit they may desire
77:43  [and they will be told:] "Eat and drink in good cheer in return for what you did [in life]!"
77:44  Thus, behold, do We reward the doers of good
77:45  [but] woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth
77:46  EAT [your fill] and enjoy your life for a little while, O you who are lost in sin
77:47  [But] woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth
77:48  and when they are told, "Bow down [before God]", do not bow down
77:49  woe on that Day unto those who give the to the truth
77:50  In what other tiding, then, will they, after this, believe
