English - Chapter 77 - Al-Mursalat

By the train of THE SENT ones

And the swift in their swiftness

By the scatterers who scatter

And the distinguishers who distinguish

And by those that give forth the word

To excuse or warn

Verily that which ye are promised is imminent

When the stars, therefore, shall be blotted out

And when the heaven shall be cleft

And when the mountains shall be scattered in dust

And when the Apostles shall have a time assigned them

Until what day shall that time be deferred

To the day of severing

And who shall teach thee what the day of severing is

Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture

Have we not destroyed them of old

We will next cause those of later times to follow them

Thus deal we with the evil doers

Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture

Have we not created you of a sorry germ

Till the term decreed for birth

Such is our power! and, how powerful are We

Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture

Have we not made the earth to hold

The living and the dead

And placed on it the tall firm mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water

Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture

Begone to that Hell which ye called a lie

Begone to the shadows that lie in triple masses

But not against the flame shall they shade or help you

The sparks which it casteth out are like towers

Like tawny camels

Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture

On that day they shall not speak

Nor shall it be permitted them to allege excuses

Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture

This is the day of severing, when we will assemble you and your ancestors

If now ye have any craft try your craft on me

Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture

But the god-fearing shall be placed amid shades and fountains

And fruits, whatsoever they shall desire

Eat and drink, with health, as the meed of your toils

Thus recompense we the good

Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture

Eat ye and enjoy yourselves a little while. Verily, ye are doers of evil

Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture

For when it is said to them, bend the knee, they bend it not

Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture

In what other revelation after this will they believe
