77 - The Emissaries | |
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. | |
| 1 | By the (Winds) Sent Forth one after another (to man's profit); |
| 2 | Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts, |
| 3 | And scatter (things) far and wide; |
| 4 | Then separate them, one from another, |
| 5 | Then spread abroad a Reminder, |
| 6 | Whether of Justification or of Warning;- |
| 7 | Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. |
| 8 | Then when the stars become dim; |
| 9 | When the heaven is cleft asunder; |
| 10 | When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust; |
| 11 | And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);- |
| 12 | For what Day are these (portents) deferred? |
| 13 | For the Day of Sorting out. |
| 14 | And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out? |
| 15 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 16 | Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)? |
| 17 | So shall We make later (generations) follow them. |
| 18 | Thus do We deal with men of sin. |
| 19 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 20 | Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?- |
| 21 | The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed, |
| 22 | For a period (of gestation), determined? |
| 23 | For We do determine; for We are the best to determine (things). |
| 24 | Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 25 | Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together. |
| 26 | The living and the dead, |
| 27 | And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)? |
| 28 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 29 | (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false! |
| 30 | "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns, |
| 31 | "(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze. |
| 32 | "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts, |
| 33 | "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)." |
| 34 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 35 | That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak. |
| 36 | Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas. |
| 37 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 38 | That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)! |
| 39 | Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! |
| 40 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 41 | As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water). |
| 42 | And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire. |
| 43 | "Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness). |
| 44 | Thus do We certa 2f8 inly reward the Doers of Good. |
| 45 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 46 | (O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners. |
| 47 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 48 | And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so. |
| 49 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 50 | Then what Message, after that, will they believe in? |
