English - Chapter 77 - Al-Mursalat

By the angels which are sent by God, following one another in a continual series; and those which move swiftly

with a rapid motion

and by those which disperse his commands, by divulging them through the earth

and by those which separate truth from falsehood, by distinguishing the same

and by those which communicate the divine admonitions

to excuse, or to threaten

Verily that which ye are promised is inevitable

When the stars, therefore, shall be put out

and when the heaven shall be cloven in sunder

and when the mountains shall be winnowed

and when the apostles shall have a time assigned them to appear and bear testimony against their respective people

to what a day shall that appointment be deferred

To the day of separation

And what shall cause thee to understand what the day of separation is

On that day, woe be unto them who accused the prophets of imposture

Have We not destroyed the obstinate unbelievers of old

We will also cause those of the latter times to follow them

Thus do We deal with the wicked

Woe be, on that day, unto them who accused the prophets of imposture

Have We not created you of a contemptible drop of seed

which We placed in a sure repository

And We were able to do this: For We are most powerful

On that day, woe be unto those who accused the prophets of imposture

Have We not made the earth to contain

the living and the dead

and placed therein stable and lofty mountains, and given you fresh water to drink

Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture

It shall be said unto them, go ye to the punishment which ye denied as a falsehood

Go ye into the shadow of the smoke of hell, which shall ascend in three columns

and shall not shade you from the heat, neither shall it be of service against the flame

but it shall cast forth sparks as big as towers

resembling yellow camels in colour

Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture

This shall be a day whereon they shall not speak to any purpose

neither shall they be permitted to excuse themselves

Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture

This shall be the day of separation: We will assemble both you and your predecessors

Whereofore, if ye have any cunning stratagem, employ stratagems against Me

Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture

But the pious shall dwell amidst shades and fountains

and fruits of the kinds which they shall desire

And it shall be said unto them, eat and drink with easy digestion, in recompense for that which ye have wrought

for thus do We reward the righteous doers

Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture

Eat, O unbelievers, and enjoy the pleasures of this life, for a little while: Verily ye are wicked men

Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture

And when it is said unto them, bow down; they do not bow down

Woe be, on that day, unto those who accused the prophets of imposture

In what new revelation will they believe, after this
