Chap 77: THE EMISSARIES, WINDS SENT FORTH (77:0)

By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit); (77:1)

Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts, (77:2)

And scatter (things) far and wide; (77:3)

Then separate them, one from another, (77:4)

Then spread abroad a Message, (77:5)

Whether of Justification or of Warning;- (77:6)

Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass (77:7)

Then when the stars become dim; (77:8)

When the heaven is cleft asunder; (77:9)

When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust; (77:10)

And when the apostles are (all) appointed a time (to collect);- (77:11)

For what Day are these (portents) deferred? (77:12)

For the Day of Sorting out (77:13)

And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out? (77:14)

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! (77:15)

Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)? (77:16)

So shall We make later (generations) follow them (77:17)

Thus do We deal with men of sin (77:18)

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! (77:19)

Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?- (77:20)

The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed, (77:21)

For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)? (77:22)

For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things) (77:23)

Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth! (77:24)

Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together (77:25)

The living and the dead, (77:26)

And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)? (77:27)

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! (77:28)

(It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false! (77:29)

"Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns, (77:30)

"(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze (77:31)

"Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts, (77:32)

"As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)." (77:33)

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! (77:34)

That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak (77:35)

Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas (77:36)

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! (77:37)

That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)! (77:38)

Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! (77:39)

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! (77:40)

As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water) (77:41)

And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire (77:42)

"Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness) (77:43)

Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good (77:44)

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! (77:45)

(O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners (77:46)

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! (77:47)

And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so (77:48)

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! (77:49)

Then what Message, after that, will they believe in? (77:50)
