| | Yusuf Ali (Saudi Rev. 1985) rendition of Surah The Emissaries, Winds Sent Forth(al-Mursalat) --- |
---|
77:1 | | By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit) |
77:2 | | Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts |
77:3 | | And scatter (things) far and wide |
77:4 | | Then separate them, one from another |
77:5 | | Then spread abroad a Message |
77:6 | | Whether of Justification or of Warning; |
77:7 | | Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass |
77:8 | | Then when the stars become dim |
77:9 | | When the heaven is cleft asunder |
77:10 | | When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust |
77:11 | | And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect); |
77:12 | | For what Day are these (portents) deferred |
77:13 | | For the Day of Sorting out |
77:14 | | And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out |
77:15 | | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth |
77:16 | | Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil) |
77:17 | | So shall We make later (generations) follow them |
77:18 | | Thus do We deal with men of sin |
77:19 | | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth |
77:20 | | Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable? |
77:21 | | The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed |
77:22 | | For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need) |
77:23 | | For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things) |
77:24 | | Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth |
77:25 | | Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together |
77:26 | | The living and the dead |
77:27 | | And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome) |
77:28 | | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth |
77:29 | | (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false |
77:30 | | "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns |
77:31 | | "(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze |
77:32 | | "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts |
77:33 | | "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)." |
77:34 | | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth |
77:35 | | That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak |
77:36 | | Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas |
77:37 | | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth |
77:38 | | That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you) |
77:39 | | Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me |
77:40 | | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth |
77:41 | | As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water) |
77:42 | | And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire |
77:43 | | "Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness) |
77:44 | | Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good |
77:45 | | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth |
77:46 | | (O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners |
77:47 | | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth |
77:48 | | And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so |
77:49 | | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth |
77:50 | | Then what Message, after that, will they believe in |
