| | Aisha Bewley rendition of Surah The Emissaries, Winds Sent Forth(al-Mursalat) --- |
---|
77:1 | | By those sent forth in succession, |
77:2 | | by the violently gusting blasts, |
77:3 | | by the scatterers scattering, |
77:4 | | by the winnowers winnowing, |
77:5 | | by those hurling a reminder, |
77:6 | | excusing or warning, |
77:7 | | what you are promised will certainly happen. |
77:8 | | When the stars are extinguished, |
77:9 | | when heaven is split open, |
77:10 | | when the mountains are pulverised, |
77:11 | | when the Messengers´ time is appointed |
77:12 | | until what day is that deferred? |
77:13 | | Until the Day of Decision. |
77:14 | | And what will teach you what the Day of Decision is? |
77:15 | | On that Day, woe to the deniers! |
77:16 | | Did We not destroy the earlier peoples, |
77:17 | | then succeed them with later ones? |
77:18 | | That is how We deal with evildoers. |
77:19 | | On that Day, woe to the deniers! |
77:20 | | Did We not create you from a base fluid, |
77:21 | | then place it in a secure repository |
77:22 | | for a recognised term? |
77:23 | | It is We who determine. What an excellent Determiner! |
77:24 | | On that Day, woe to the deniers! |
77:25 | | Did We not make the earth a receptacle |
77:26 | | for the living and the dead? |
77:27 | | Did We not place firmly embedded mountains in it, soaring high into the air, and give you sweet fresh water to drink? |
77:28 | | On that Day, woe to the deniers! |
77:29 | | Proceed to that which you denied! |
77:30 | | Proceed to a shadow which forks into three |
77:31 | | but gives no shade or protection from the flames, |
77:32 | | shooting up great sparks the size of castles, |
77:33 | | like a herd of yellow camels. |
77:34 | | On that Day, woe to the deniers! |
77:35 | | This is the Day they will not say a single word, |
77:36 | | nor will they be allowed to offer any excuses. |
77:37 | | On that Day, woe to the deniers! |
77:38 | | ´This is the Day of Decision. We have gathered you and the earlier peoples. |
77:39 | | So if you have a ploy, use it against Me now!´ |
77:40 | | On that Day, woe to the deniers! |
77:41 | | The people with taqwa will be amid shade and fountains |
77:42 | | and have any fruits that they desire: |
77:43 | | ´Eat and drink with relish for what you did. |
77:44 | | This is the way We reward good-doers.´ |
77:45 | | On that Day, woe to the deniers! |
77:46 | | ´Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little while. You are evildoers.´ |
77:47 | | On that Day, woe to the deniers! |
77:48 | | When they are told to bow, they do not bow. |
77:49 | | On that Day, woe to the deniers! |
77:50 | | In what discourse after this, then, will they have iman? |
