English - Chapter 77 - Al-Mursalat

By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allah) sent forth one after another

And by the winds that blow violently

And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain

And by the Verses (of the Quran) that separate the right from the wrong

And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers

To cut off all excuses or to warn

Surely, what you are promised must come to pass

Then when the stars lose their lights

And when the heaven is cleft asunder

And when the mountains are blown away

And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed

For what Day are these signs postponed

For the Day of sorting out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell)

And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out

Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)

Did We not destroy the ancients

So shall We make later generations to follow them

Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)

Did We not create you from a worthless water (semen, etc)

Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb)

For a known period (determined by gestation)

So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things)

Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)

Have We not made the earth a receptacle

For the living and the dead

And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water

Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)

(It will be said to the disbelievers): "Depart you to that which you used to deny

Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) in three columns

Neither shading, nor of any use against the fierce flame of the Fire

Verily! It (Hell) throws sparks (huge) as Al-Qasr [a fort or a Qasr (huge log of wood]

As if they were Jimalatun Sufr (yellow camels or bundles of ropes)

Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)

That will be a Day when they shall not speak (during some part of it)

And they will not be permitted to put forth any excuse

Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)

That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together

So if you have a plot, use it against Me (Allah)

Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)

Verily, the Muttaqun (pious - see V. 2:2) shall be amidst shades and springs

And fruits, such as they desire

Eat and drink comfortably for that which you used to do

Verily, thus We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers)

Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)

(O you disbelievers)! Eat and enjoy yourselves (in this worldly life) for a little while. Verily, you are the Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc)

Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)

And when it is said to them: "Bow down yourself (in prayer)!" They bow not down (offer not their prayers)

Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)

Then in what statement after this (the Quran) will they believe
