| 77:1 | | Witness are these Messages (to the Sublime Truth), sent forth one after another |
| 77:2 | | As they gain strength like a tempest |
| 77:3 | | And spread (the Truth) far and wide |
| 77:4 | | While distinguishing the Right from Wrong with a clear distinction |
| 77:5 | | In order to deliver the Reminder (into the hearts) |
| 77:6 | | Whether one erases his faults or sees the danger signs. ('Uzr' = Excuse = Justification = Good news = Reasoning = Attempt to get rid of one's shortcomings. 'Nuzr' = Warning = Posting danger signs) |
| 77:7 | | Behold, all that you are promised in this Writ will come to pass |
| 77:8 | | So when the stars lose their luster. (The small groups of opponents fade away) |
| 77:9 | | And when the sky is rent asunder. (Every high tyrant is decimated) |
| 77:10 | | And when the mountains are blown away as dust. (The great ones who enslave the weak float around like flakes of wool). (20:105), (56:5) |
| 77:11 | | And when all Messengers are summoned at the time appointed. (The unanimity of the Message of all Messengers will become evident) |
| 77:12 | | For what Day is the term delayed |
| 77:13 | | For the Day of Decision |
| 77:14 | | And what will enlighten you what that Day of Decision is |
| 77:15 | | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice! ('Kizb' = Lie = Belie = Deny the Truth in practical dealings = Deny by action. 'Kufr' = Frank denial in word and action) |
| 77:16 | | Did We not annihilate the former generations |
| 77:17 | | Then We made them followed by later generations |
| 77:18 | | Thus do We always deal with the guilty |
| 77:19 | | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice |
| 77:20 | | Did We not create you from a humble fluid? (How, then, you forget your common origin and being humble to one another? |
| 77:21 | | Which We then kept in a safe place. (23:13) |
| 77:22 | | For a term appointed |
| 77:23 | | Thus We have determined (all things). How excellent is Our determining! (Appointing due measure of all things) |
| 77:24 | | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice |
| 77:25 | | Have We not made the earth a vessel |
| 77:26 | | Both for the living and the dead? (The cycle of life and death goes on right here). (3:27), (6:95), (10:31), (30:19) |
| 77:27 | | And placed therein firm lofty mountains (serving as water reservoirs), and given you fresh water to drink |
| 77:28 | | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice |
| 77:29 | | Walk unto that which you used to belie |
| 77:30 | | Walk unto the threefold shadow |
| 77:31 | | Giving neither cooling shade nor shelter from the Flame |
| 77:32 | | Behold, it throws up sparks huge as castles |
| 77:33 | | Moving like the caravans of bright yellow camels |
| 77:34 | | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice |
| 77:35 | | This is a Day when they are not able to speak |
| 77:36 | | Nor will they be allowed to make excuses |
| 77:37 | | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice |
| 77:38 | | This is the Day of Decision. We have brought you and the generations of old together |
| 77:39 | | Now, if you have a trick, try it against Me |
| 77:40 | | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice |
| 77:41 | | Behold, those who walk aright, are amid shades and springs |
| 77:42 | | And fruit as they desire |
| 77:43 | | Enjoy, eat and drink. Welcome for what you have accomplished |
| 77:44 | | Behold, thus do We reward the doers of good to others |
| 77:45 | | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice |
| 77:46 | | Behold, you guilty ones! Enjoy and take your ease for a little while |
| 77:47 | | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice |
| 77:48 | | And now when they are told, "Bow down", they bow not down! (They do not submit to Divine Commands) |
| 77:49 | | Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice |
| 77:50 | | In what Hadith, after this, will they believe |
