---|
77:1 | | By those sent in a series |
77:2 | | And by those who speed swiftly |
77:3 | | And by the dispensers abroad |
77:4 | | And by the separators apart |
77:5 | | And by those who instil the reminder |
77:6 | | as an excuse or warning |
77:7 | | Verily, what ye are threatened with shall surely happen |
77:8 | | And when the stars shall be erased |
77:9 | | And when the heaven shall be cleft |
77:10 | | And when the mountains shall be winnowed |
77:11 | | And when the apostles shall have a time appointed for them |
77:12 | | For what day is the appointment made |
77:13 | | For the day of decision |
77:14 | | and what shall make thee know what the decision is |
77:15 | | Woe on that day for those who say it is a lie |
77:16 | | Have we not destroyed those of yore |
77:17 | | and then followed them up with those of the latter day |
77:18 | | Thus do we with the sinners |
77:19 | | Woe on that day for those who say it is a lie |
77:20 | | Did we not create you from contemptible water |
77:21 | | and place it in a sure depositor |
77:22 | | unto a certain decreed term |
77:23 | | for we are able and well able too |
77:24 | | Woe on that day for those who say it is a lie |
77:25 | | Have we not made for them the eart |
77:26 | | to hold the living and the dead |
77:27 | | and set thereon firm mountains reared aloft? and given you to drink water in streams |
77:28 | | Woe on that day for those who say it is a lie |
77:29 | | Go off to that which ye did call a lie |
77:30 | | Go off to the shadow of three columns |
77:31 | | that shall not shade nor avail against the flame |
77:32 | | Verily, it throws off sparks like towers, |
77:33 | | as though they were yellow camels |
77:34 | | Woe on that day for those who say it is a lie |
77:35 | | This is the day when they may not speak, |
77:36 | | when they are not permitted to excuse themselves |
77:37 | | Woe on that day for those who say it is a lie |
77:38 | | This is the day of decision! We have assembled you with those of yore |
77:39 | | if ye have any stratagem employ it now |
77:40 | | Woe on that day for those who say it is a lie |
77:41 | | Verily, the pious are amid shades and spring |
77:42 | | and fruit such as they love. |
77:43 | | 'Eat and drink with good digestion, for that which ye have done! |
77:44 | | Verily, thus do we reward those who do well |
77:45 | | Woe on that day for those who say it is a lie |
77:46 | | 'Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little; verily, ye are sinners! |
77:47 | | Woe on that day for those who say it is a lie |
77:48 | | And when it is said to them bow down, they bow not down |
77:49 | | Woe on that day for those who say it is a lie |
77:50 | | And in what new discourse after it will they believe |
