English - Chapter 77 - Al-Mursalat

By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit)

Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts

Then separate them, one from another

Then spread abroad a Message

Whether of Justification or of Warning

Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass

Then when the stars become dim

When the heaven is cleft asunder

When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust

And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect)

For what Day are these (portents) deferred

For the Day of Sorting out

And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth

Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)

So shall We make later (generations) follow them

Thus do We deal with men of sin

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth

Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable

The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed

For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)

For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things)

Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth

Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together

The living and the dead

And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth

(It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false

Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns

(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze

Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts

As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth

That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak

Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth

That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)

Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth

As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water)

And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire

Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness)

Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth

(O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth

And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth

Then what Message, after that, will they believe in
