    English - Chapter 77

    Translation by Safi Kaskas

    Verse 1

    By those [winds] sent forth in gusts

    Verse 2

    and those violently storming

    Verse 3

    consider these [messages] that spread [the Truth] far and wide

    Verse 4

    thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity

    Verse 5

    and then delivering a reminder

    Verse 6

    [promising] freedom from blame or [offering] a warning

    Verse 7

    what you are promised will surely happen

    Verse 8

    So when the stars are extinguished

    Verse 9

    the heaven is split open

    Verse 10

    the mountains are blown away

    Verse 11

    And when the messengers are called together to an appointed time

    Verse 12

    for what Day was it postponed

    Verse 13

    For the Day of Decision

    Verse 14

    And what do you know about the Day of Decision

    Verse 15

    How horrible is that Day for those who deny the truth

    Verse 16

    Did We not destroy the earlier people

    Verse 17

    And We shall make the latter follow them

    Verse 18

    This is how We deal with those who forced others to reject Our messages

    Verse 19

    How horrible is that Day for those who reject the truth

    Verse 20

    Did We not create you from an insignificant liquid

    Verse 21

    Then lodged it in a secure place

    Verse 22

    for a known term

    Verse 23

    And We determined it, how excellently We determine

    Verse 24

    How terrible is that Day for the deniers of the truth

    Verse 25

    Have We not made the earth a home

    Verse 26

    for the living and the dead

    Verse 27

    And We placed firmly embedded mountains in it, rising high, and given you sweet water to drink

    Verse 28

    How terrible is that Day for the deniers of the truth

    Verse 29

    Proceed to what you used to deny

    Verse 30

    Proceed to a shadow with three columns

    Verse 31

    that has no shade and will not prevent you from the flame

    Verse 32

    It shoots sparks [as huge] as a fortress

    Verse 33

    like giant fiery ropes

    Verse 34

    How terrible is that Day for those who deny the truth

    Verse 35

    On that Day they will be speechless

    Verse 36

    and they not be given permission to offer any excuses

    Verse 37

    How terrible is that Day for those who deny the truth

    Verse 38

    This is the Day of Decision; We will have gathered you together with the earlier people

    Verse 39

    So if you have a ploy, then use it against my plan now

    Verse 40

    How terrible is that Day for those who deny the truth

    Verse 41

    The God-conscious will be amidst shades and springs

    Verse 42

    and any fruits they desire

    Verse 43

    Eat and drink and enjoy it as a reward for your deeds

    Verse 44

    This is how We reward those who do good

    Verse 45

    How terrible is that Day for those who deny the truth

    Verse 46

    You are but dissenters. So eat and enjoy yourselves a little [while you can]

    Verse 47

    How terrible is that Day for the deniers of the truth

    Verse 48

    And when It is said to them, "Bow down [in prayer]," they do not bow

    Verse 49

    How terrible is that Day for those who denied the truth

    Verse 50

    In what message beyond this will they believe
