English - Chapter 77 - Al-Mursalat

By the loosed ones successively

storming tempestuously

by the scatterers scattering

and the severally severing

and those hurling a reminder

excusing or warning

surely that which you are promised is about to fall

When the stars shall be extinguished

when heaven shall be split

when the mountains shall be scattered

and when the Messengers' time is set

to what day shall they be delayed

To the Day of Decision

And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies

Did We not destroy the ancients

and then follow them with the later folk

So We serve the sinners

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies

Did We not create you of a mean water

that We laid within a sure lodging

till a known term decreed

We determined; excellent determiners are We

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies

Made We not the earth to be a housing

for the living and for the dead

Set We not therein soaring mountains? Sated you with sweetest water

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies

Depart to that you cried was lies

Depart to a triple-massing shadow

unshading against the blazing flame

that shoots sparks like dry faggots

sparks like to golden herds

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies

This is the day they shall not speak

neither be given leave, and excuse themselves

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies

This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients

if you have a trick, try you now to trick Me

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies

Truly the godfearing shall dwell amid shades and fountains

and such fruits as their hearts desire

Eat and drink, with wholesome appetite, for that you were working

Even so do We recompense the good-doers

Eat and take your joy a little; you are sinners

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies

When it is said to them, 'Prostrate yourselves!' they prostrate not

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies

In what discourse after this will they believe
