| | Rashad Khalifa rendition of Surah The Emissaries, Winds Sent Forth(al-Mursalat) --- |
---|
77:1 | | (Angels) dispatched in succession |
77:2 | | To drive the wind |
77:3 | | Stir up clouds |
77:4 | | Distribute the provisions |
77:5 | | Deliver messages |
77:6 | | Good news, as well as warnings |
77:7 | | What is promised will come to pass |
77:8 | | Thus, when the stars are put out |
77:9 | | The sky is opened u |
77:10 | | The mountains are blown up |
77:11 | | The messengers are summoned |
77:12 | | That is the appointed day |
77:13 | | The Day of Decision |
77:14 | | What a Day of Decision |
77:15 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:16 | | Did we not annihilate the earlier generations |
77:17 | | Then we made others follow them |
77:18 | | This is what we do to the criminals |
77:19 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:20 | | Did we not create you from a lowly liquid |
77:21 | | Then we placed it in a well-protected repository |
77:22 | | For a specific period |
77:23 | | We measured it precisely. We are the best designer |
77:24 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:25 | | Did we not make the earth an abode |
77:26 | | For the living and the dead |
77:27 | | We placed on it high mountains, and provided you with fresh water to drink |
77:28 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:29 | | Go to what you used to disbelieve in |
77:30 | | Go to a shade of three different densities |
77:31 | | Yet, it provides neither coolness, nor protection from the heat |
77:32 | | It throws sparks as big as mansions |
77:33 | | As yellow as the color of camels |
77:34 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:35 | | That is the day they do not spea |
77:36 | | Nor are they given permission to apologize |
77:37 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:38 | | This is the Day of Decision. We have summoned you and the previous generations |
77:39 | | If you have any schemes, go ahead and scheme |
77:40 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:41 | | The righteous will enjoy shade and springs |
77:42 | | And fruits that they desire |
77:43 | | Eat and drink happily in return for your works |
77:44 | | We thus reward the virtuous |
77:45 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:46 | | Eat and enjoy temporarily; you are guilty |
77:47 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:48 | | When they are told, "Bow down," they do not bow down |
77:49 | | Woe on that day to the rejectors |
77:50 | | Which Hadith, other than this, do they uphold |
