| 77:1 | | By the angels which are sent by God, following one another in a continual series; and those which move swiftly |
| 77:2 | | with a rapid motion |
| 77:3 | | and by those which disperse his commands, by divulging them through the earth |
| 77:4 | | and by those which separate truth from falsehood, by distinguishing the same |
| 77:5 | | and by those which communicate the divine admonitions |
| 77:6 | | to excuse, or to threaten |
| 77:7 | | Verily that which ye are promised is inevitable |
| 77:8 | | When the stars, therefore, shall be put out |
| 77:9 | | and when the heaven shall be cloven in sunder |
| 77:10 | | and when the mountains shall be winnowed |
| 77:11 | | and when the apostles shall have a time assigned them to appear and bear testimony against their respective people |
| 77:12 | | to what a day shall that appointment be deferred |
| 77:13 | | To the day of separation |
| 77:14 | | And what shall cause thee to understand what the day of separation is |
| 77:15 | | On that day, woe be unto them who accused the prophets of imposture |
| 77:16 | | Have We not destroyed the obstinate unbelievers of old |
| 77:17 | | We will also cause those of the latter times to follow them |
| 77:18 | | Thus do We deal with the wicked |
| 77:19 | | Woe be, on that day, unto them who accused the prophets of imposture |
| 77:20 | | Have We not created you of a contemptible drop of seed |
| 77:21 | | which We placed in a sure repository |
| 77:22 | | until the fixed term of delivery |
| 77:23 | | And We were able to do this: For We are most powerful |
| 77:24 | | On that day, woe be unto those who accused the prophets of imposture |
| 77:25 | | Have We not made the earth to contai |
| 77:26 | | the living and the dead |
| 77:27 | | and placed therein stable and lofty mountains, and given you fresh water to drink |
| 77:28 | | Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture |
| 77:29 | | It shall be said unto them, go ye to the punishment which ye denied as a falsehood |
| 77:30 | | Go ye into the shadow of the smoke of hell, which shall ascend in three columns |
| 77:31 | | and shall not shade you from the heat, neither shall it be of service against the flame |
| 77:32 | | but it shall cast forth sparks as big as towers |
| 77:33 | | resembling yellow camels in colour |
| 77:34 | | Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture |
| 77:35 | | This shall be a day whereon they shall not speak to any purpose |
| 77:36 | | neither shall they be permitted to excuse themselves |
| 77:37 | | Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture |
| 77:38 | | This shall be the day of separation: We will assemble both you and your predecessors |
| 77:39 | | Whereofore, if ye have any cunning stratagem, employ stratagems against Me |
| 77:40 | | Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture |
| 77:41 | | But the pious shall dwell amidst shades and fountains |
| 77:42 | | and fruits of the kinds which they shall desire |
| 77:43 | | And it shall be said unto them, eat and drink with easy digestion, in recompense for that which ye have wrought |
| 77:44 | | for thus do We reward the righteous doers |
| 77:45 | | Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture |
| 77:46 | | Eat, O unbelievers, and enjoy the pleasures of this life, for a little while: Verily ye are wicked men |
| 77:47 | | Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture |
| 77:48 | | And when it is said unto them, bow down; they do not bow down |
| 77:49 | | Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture |
| 77:50 | | In what new revelation will they believe, after this |
