77: The Emissaries

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, Allah destroyed "the former folk."
77:17 Then caused the latter folk to follow after ?
77:18 Thus deal We ever with the guilty.
(77:19, 24, 34, 37, 40, 45, 47, 49)
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
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;
"Depart unto that doom which ye used to deny."
Doom in the Quran
For disbelievers a painful doom
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 ?
