77. Al-Mursalaat

1 By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another

2 By the raging hurricanes

3 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive

4 By those who winnow with a winnowing

5 By those who bring down the Reminder

6 To excuse or to warn

7 Surely that which ye are promised will befall

8 So when the stars are put out

9 And when the sky is riven asunder

10 And when the mountains are blown away

11 And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed

12 For what day is the time appointed

13 For the Day of Decision

14 And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is

15 Woe unto the repudiators on that day

16 Destroyed We not the former folk

17 Then caused the latter folk to follow after

18 Thus deal We ever with the guilty

19 Woe unto the repudiators on that day

20 Did We not create you from a base fluid

21 Which We laid up in a safe abode

22 For a known term

23 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging

24 Woe unto the repudiators on that day

25 Have We not made the earth a receptacle

26 Both for the living and the dead

27 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein

28 Woe unto the repudiators on that day

29 (It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny

30 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold

31 (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame

32 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles

33 (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue

34 Woe unto the repudiators on that day

35 This is a day wherein they speak not

36 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses

37 Woe unto the repudiators on that day

38 This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together

39 If now ye have any wit, outwit Me

40 Woe unto the repudiators on that day

41 Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains

42 And fruits such as they desire

43 (Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye blessed, in return for what ye did

44 Thus do We reward the good

45 Woe unto the repudiators on that day

46 Eat and take your ease (on earth) a little. Lo! ye are guilty

47 Woe unto the repudiators on that day

48 When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down

49 Woe unto the repudiators on that day

50 In what statement, after this, will they believe
