[77.1] By the emissary
winds, (sent) one after another
[77.2] By the raging hurricanes,
[77.3] By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive;
[77.4] By those who winnow with a winnowing,
[77.5] By those who bring down the Reminder,
[77.6] To excuse or to warn,
[77.7] Surely that which ye are promised will befall.
[77.8] So when the stars are put out,
[77.9] And when the sky is riven asunder,
[77.10] And when the mountains are blown away,
[77.11] And when the messengers are brought unto their time
appointed -
[77.12] For what day is the time appointed ?
[77.13] For the Day of Decision.
[77.14] And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision
is! -
[77.15] Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77.16] Destroyed We not the former folk,
[77.17] Then caused the latter folk to follow after ?
[77.18] Thus deal We ever with the guilty.
[77.19] Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77.20] Did We not create you from a base fluid
[77.21] Which We laid up in a safe abode
[77.22] For a known term ?
[77.23] Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging!
[77.24] Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77.25] Have We not made the earth a receptacle
[77.26] Both for the living and the dead,
[77.27] And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink
sweet water therein ?
[77.28] Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77.29] (It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom)
which ye used to deny;
[77.30] Depart unto the shadow falling threefold,
[77.31] (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame.
[77.32] Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles,
[77.33] (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue.
[77.34] Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77.35] This is a day wherein they speak not,
[77.36] Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses.
[77.37] Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77.38] This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the
men of old together.
[77.39] If now ye have any wit, outwit Me.
[77.40] Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77.41] Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and
fountains,
[77.42] And fruits such as they desire.
[77.43] (Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye
blessed, in return for what ye did.
[77.44] Thus do We reward the good.
[77.45] Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77.46] Eat and take your ease (on earth) a little. Lo! ye are
guilty.
[77.47] Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77.48] When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down!
[77.49] Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
[77.50] In what statement, after this, will they believe ? |
