77 - The Emissaries | |
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. | |
| 1 | I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), |
| 2 | By the raging hurricanes, |
| 3 | Which scatter clouds to their destined places, |
| 4 | Then separate them one from another, |
| 5 | Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation, |
| 6 | To clear or to warn. |
| 7 | Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass. |
| 8 | So when the stars are made to lose their light, |
| 9 | And when the heaven is rent asunder, |
| 10 | And when the mountains are carried away as dust, |
| 11 | And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time li. To what day is the doom fixed? |
| 13 | To the day of decision. |
| 14 | And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? |
| 15 | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 16 | Did We not destroy the former generations? |
| 17 | Then did We follow them up with later ones. |
| 18 | Even thus shall We deal with the guilty. |
| 19 | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 20 | Did We not create you from contemptible water? |
| 21 | Then We placed it in a secure resting-place, |
| 22 | Till an appointed term, |
| 23 | So We proportion it-- how well are We at proportioning (things). |
| 24 | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 25 | Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself, |
| 26 | The living and the dead, |
| 27 | And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water? |
| 28 | Woe on that day to the rejecters. water? |
| 29 | Walk on to that which you called a lie. water? |
| 30 | Walk on to the covering having three branches, water? |
| 31 | Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame. water? |
| 32 | Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, water? |
| 33 | As if they were tawny camels. water? |
| 34 | Woe on that day to the rejecters. water? |
| 35 | This is the day on which they shall not speak, water? |
| 36 | And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses water? |
| 37 | Woe on that day to the rejecters. water? |
| 38 | This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore. |
| 39 | So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now). |
| 40 | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 41 | Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be amid shades and fountains, |
| 42 | And fruits such as they desire. |
| 43 | Eat and drink pleasantly because of what you did. |
| 44 | Surely thus do We reward the doers of good. |
| 45 | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 46 | Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little; surely you are guilty. |
| 47 | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 48 | And where it is said to them: Bow down, they do not bow down. |
| 49 | Woe on that day to the rejecters. |
| 50 | In what announcement, then, after it, will they believe? |
