English - Chapter 77 - Al-Mursalat

By those [winds] sent forth in succession

those that blow violently

and scatter [rainclouds] far and wide

And by those [angels] who bring criterion

and those who deliver revelation

leaving no excuse or giving warning –

what you are promised will surely come to pass

So when the stars are extinguished

and when the sky is split apart

and when the mountains are blown away

and when the messengers are summoned

until which Day has all this been postponed

Until the Day of Judgment

How do you know what the Day of Judgment is

Woe on that Day to the deniers

Did We not destroy the earlier nations

Then We will do likewise to the later ones

This is how We deal with the wicked

Woe on that Day to the deniers

Did We not create you from a worthless fluid

then We placed it in a secure repository

for a determined period

For We determined it; How excellently We determine

Woe on that Day to the deniers

Have We not made the earth a receptacle

for the living and the dead

and placed therein firm towering mountains, and given you fresh water to drink

Woe on that Day to the deniers

[They will be told,] “Proceed to that [Fire] which you used to deny

Proceed to the shadow [of smoke] ascending in three columns

that provides neither shade nor protection from the flames

Indeed, it [Hell] throws up sparks as big as castles

as if they were tawny camels

Woe on that Day to the deniers

On that Day they won’t speak

Woe on that Day to the deniers

[They will be told,] “This is the Day of Judgment: We have gathered you along with the earlier generations

So if you have any scheme, then plot it against Me.”

Woe on that Day to the deniers

Indeed, the righteous will be amid shades and springs

and will have whatever fruit they desire

[They will be told,] “Eat and drink joyfully, as a reward for what you used to do.”

This is how We reward those who do good

Woe on that Day to the deniers

“Eat and enjoy yourselves for a while; you are truly wicked.”

Woe on that Day to the deniers

When it is said to them, “Bow [in prayer]”, they do not bow

Woe on that Day to the deniers

In which message after this [Qur’an] will they believe
