English - Chapter 77 - Al-Mursalat

By those [winds] sent forth in gusts

and those violently storming

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

thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity

and then delivering a reminder

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

what you are promised will surely happen

So when the stars are extinguished

the heaven is split open

the mountains are blown away

And when the messengers are called together to an appointed time

for what Day was it postponed

For the Day of Decision

And what do you know about the Day of Decision

How horrible is that Day for those who deny the truth

Did We not destroy the earlier people

And We shall make the latter follow them

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

How horrible is that Day for those who reject the truth

Did We not create you from an insignificant liquid

Then lodged it in a secure place

for a known term

And We determined it, how excellently We determine

How terrible is that Day for the deniers of the truth

Have We not made the earth a home

for the living and the dead

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

How terrible is that Day for the deniers of the truth

Proceed to what you used to deny

Proceed to a shadow with three columns

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

It shoots sparks [as huge] as a fortress

like giant fiery ropes

How terrible is that Day for those who deny the truth

On that Day they will be speechless

and they not be given permission to offer any excuses

How terrible is that Day for those who deny the truth

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

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

How terrible is that Day for those who deny the truth

The God-conscious will be amidst shades and springs

and any fruits they desire

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

This is how We reward those who do good

How terrible is that Day for those who deny the truth

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

How terrible is that Day for the deniers of the truth

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

How terrible is that Day for those who denied the truth

In what message beyond this will they believe
