English - Chapter 77 - Al-Mursalat

By those sent forth in succession

by the scatterers scattering

by the winnowers winnowing

by those hurling a reminder

excusing or warning

what you are promised will certainly happen

When the stars are extinguished

when heaven is split open

when the mountains are pulverised

when the Messengers´ time is appointed —

until what day is that deferred

Until the Day of Decision

And what will teach you what the Day of Decision is

On that Day, woe to the deniers

Did We not destroy the earlier peoples

´This is the Day of Decision. We have gathered you and the earlier peoples

On that Day, woe to the deniers

The people with taqwa will be amid shade and fountains

and have any fruits that they desire

´Eat and drink with relish for what you did

This is the way We reward good-doers.´

On that Day, woe to the deniers

´Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little while. You are evildoers.´

On that Day, woe to the deniers

When they are told to bow, they do not bow

On that Day, woe to the deniers

In what discourse after this, then, will they have iman
