English - Chapter 77 - Al-Mursalat

By the [winds] sent forth for a purpose

and gales that rage on and on

then dividing them all up

and delivering a Reminder

either as a plea or a warning

you (all) are surely promised something inevitable

When the stars fade away

when the sky splits open

when mountains are pulverized

and when messengers´ time is set

till which day will they be put off? The Day for Sorting Things Out

Till the day for Sorting [things] out

What will make you realize what the day for Sorting is

It will be too bad for rejectors on that day

Did We not wipe out ancient men

Then We followed them up with later ones

Thus We deal with criminals

It will be too bad for rejectors on that day

Do We not create you (all) from a despised fluid

We place it in a firm resting-place

for a known period

We measure it out and how favored are Those Who measure it

It will be too bad for rejectors on that day

Have We not placed the earth as a round up

for the living and the dead

We have planted lofty headlands on it and offered you (all) fresh water to drink

It will be too bad for rejectors on that day

Hurry off to whatever you have been rejecting

Hurry away to shade which has three sections

which is not shady nor any help against flame

It throws off sparks like a palace [on fire]

[bright] as a yellow camel herd

It will be too bad for rejectors on that day

This will be a day when they will not utter [a sound]

nor will they be permitted to offer any excuse

It will be too bad for rejectors on that day

This is a day for Sorting [things] out; We shall bring you (all) together with the original men

If you have any scheme, then scheme against me

It will be too bad for rejectors on that day! Those who Do their Duty

The heedful will be in shady nooks by springs

and have whatever fruit they may hanker for

Eat and drink at leisure because of what you have been doing

Thus We reward those who act kindly

It will be too bad for rejectors on that day

Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little while, since you are criminals

It will be too bad for rejectors on that day

When someone told them: "Bow your heads!", they would not bow their heads [in prayer]

It will be too bad for rejectors on that day

Yet what report will they believe in later on
