77:1 | | By those unleashed in succession |
77:2 | | Storming turbulently |
77:3 | | Scattering far and wide |
77:4 | | Separating decisively |
77:5 | | Delivering a message |
77:6 | | Excusing or warning |
77:7 | | Surely what you are promised will happen |
77:8 | | When the stars are obliterated |
77:9 | | And the sky is fractured |
77:10 | | And the mountains are blown away |
77:11 | | And the messengers are alerted |
77:12 | | Until which day is it deferred |
77:13 | | Until the Day of Decision |
77:14 | | And what will teach you what the Day of Decision is |
77:15 | | Woe on that Day to the liars. |
77:16 | | Did We not destroy the ancients |
77:17 | | Then succeeded them with the others |
77:18 | | This is how We deal with the guilty |
77:19 | | Woe on that Day to the rejecters |
77:20 | | Did We not create you from an insignificant fluid |
77:21 | | Then lodged it in a secure place |
77:22 | | For a known term |
77:23 | | We measured precisely. We are the best to measure |
77:24 | | Woe on that Day to the falsifiers |
77:25 | | Did We not make the earth a homestead |
77:26 | | For the living and the dead |
77:27 | | And set on it lofty mountains, and given you pure water to drink |
77:28 | | Woe on that Day to the deniers |
77:29 | | 'Proceed to what you used to deny.' |
77:30 | | 'Proceed to a shadow of three different masses.' |
77:31 | | Offering no shade, and unavailing against the flames |
77:32 | | It shoots sparks as castles |
77:33 | | As if they were yellow camels |
77:34 | | Woe on that Day to the liars |
77:35 | | This is a Day when they will not speak |
77:36 | | And they will not be allowed to apologize |
77:37 | | Woe on that Day to the rejecters |
77:38 | | This is the Day of Separation; We have gathered you, together with the ancients |
77:39 | | So if you have a strategy, use it against Me |
77:40 | | Woe on that Day to the falsifiers |
77:41 | | The righteous will be amidst shades and fountains |
77:42 | | And fruits as they desire |
77:43 | | 'Eat and drink pleasantly, for what you used to do.' |
77:44 | | This is how We reward the doers of good |
77:45 | | Woe on that Day to the deniers |
77:46 | | 'Eat and enjoy yourselves a little; you are indeed criminals.' |
77:47 | | Woe on that Day to the liars |
77:48 | | And when it is said to them, 'Kneel', they do not kneel |
77:49 | | Woe on that Day to the rejecters |
77:50 | | In what message, beyond this, will they believe |
