| | Maulana Muhammad Ali rendition of Surah The Emissaries, Winds Sent Forth(al-Mursalat) --- |
---|
77:1 | | By those sent forth to spread goodness |
77:2 | | Then those driving off the chaff |
77:3 | | And those spreading (goodness), far and wide |
77:4 | | Then those making a distinction |
77:5 | | Then those offering the Reminder |
77:6 | | To clear or to warn! - |
77:7 | | Surely that which you are promised will come to pass |
77:8 | | So when the stars are made to disappear |
77:9 | | And when the heaven is rent asunder |
77:10 | | And when the mountains are carried away as dust |
77:11 | | And when the messengers are made to reach their appointed time |
77:12 | | To what day is the doom fixed |
77:13 | | To the day of Decision |
77:14 | | And what will make thee comprehend what the day of Decision is |
77:15 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:16 | | Did We not destroy the former generations |
77:17 | | Then We followed them up with later ones |
77:18 | | Thus do We deal with the guilty |
77:19 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:20 | | Did We not create you from ordinary water |
77:21 | | Then We placed it in a secure resting-place |
77:22 | | Till an appointed term |
77:23 | | So We determined -- how well are We at determining |
77:24 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:25 | | Have We not made the earth draw to itsel |
77:26 | | The living and the dead |
77:27 | | And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water |
77:28 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:29 | | Walk on to that which you called a lie |
77:30 | | Walk on to the shadow, having three branches |
77:31 | | Neither cool, nor availing against the flame |
77:32 | | It sends up sparks like palaces |
77:33 | | As if they were tawny camels |
77:34 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:35 | | This is the day on which they speak not |
77:36 | | Nor are they allowed to offer excuses |
77:37 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:38 | | This is the day of Decision; We have gathered you and those of yore |
77:39 | | So if you have a plan, plan against me (now) |
77:40 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:41 | | Surely the dutiful are amid shades and fountains |
77:42 | | And fruits such as they desire |
77:43 | | Eat and drink pleasantly for what you did |
77:44 | | Thus do We reward the doers of good |
77:45 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:46 | | East and enjoy yourselves for a little; surely you are guilty |
77:47 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:48 | | And when it is said to them, Bow down, they bow not down |
77:49 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:50 | | In what narration after it, will they believe |
