English - Chapter 77 - Al-Mursalat

By those sent forth in succession

By the storming tempests

By the spreaders spreading

By the discerners discerning

And by those who bring forth the Reminder

to excuse or to warn

surely what you are promised will befall

So when the stars are blotted out

and when the sky is riven asunder

when the mountains are scattered

and when the messengers are slated

for what day is it appointed

For the Day of Division

And what shall apprise thee of the Day of Division

Woe that Day to the deniers

Did We not destroy those of old

then make those of later times follow them

Thus do We deal with the guilty

Woe that Day to the deniers

Did We not create you from a base fluid

then lodge it in a secure dwelling place

for a known measure

Thus do We determine; what excellent determiners

Woe that Day to the deniers

Did We not make the earth a receptacle

for the living and the dead

And We placed therein firm, soaring mountains and gave you sweet water to drink

Woe that Day to the deniers

Away to that which you used to deny

Away to a threefold shadow

that provides no shade, nor avails against the flame

as though they were yellow camels

Woe that Day to the deniers

That is the Day on which they speak not

nor is permission granted them, such that they might offer excuses

Woe that Day to the deniers

This is the Day of Division, “We have gathered you and those of old.”

So if you have a scheme, then scheme against Me

Woe that Day to the deniers

Truly the reverent shall be amid shade and springs

and fruits such as they desire

“Eat and drink in enjoyment for that which you used to do.”

Thus do We recompense the virtuous

Woe that Day to the deniers

Eat and enjoy yourselves a little; truly you are guilty

Woe that Day to the deniers

And when it is said unto them, “Bow!” they bow not

Woe that Day to the deniers

So in what discourse after this will they believe
