77. Al-Mursalaat - Those sent forth
| 1 | I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, |
| 2 | And those that strike violently, |
| 3 | And those that revive by quickening, |
| 4 | And those that distinguish distinctly, |
| 5 | And those that bring down the Reminder |
| 6 | To end all argument or to warn. |
| 7 | What is promised will surely come to pass. |
| 8 | When the stars are obliterated, |
| 9 | The heavens split asunder, |
| 10 | The mountains reduced to dust and blown away, |
| 11 | And when the time comes for raising the little girls (buried alive) -- |
| 12 | For what day is that time fixed? |
| 13 | The Day of Judgement. |
| 14 | How will you comprehend what the Day of Judgement is? |
| 15 | Alas the woe that day for those who deny! |
| 16 | Have We not destroyed the earlier generations? |
| 17 | So shall We make the later ones to follow them. |
| 18 | That is what We shall do to those who are guilty of crime. |
| 19 | Alas the woe that day for those who deny! |
| 20 | Did We not create you from contemptible water? |
| 21 | Then We lodged you in a secure place (the womb) |
| 22 | For a certain appointed time, |
| 23 | Then We facilitated (your birth). How well do We calculate! |
| 24 | Alas the woe that day for those who deny! |
| 25 | Have We not made the earth a repository |
| 26 | For the living and the dead, |
| 27 | And placed in it lofty and broad stablisers, and gave you sweet water to drink? |
| 28 | Alas the woe that day for those who deny! |
| 29 | "Go to what you used to deny; |
| 30 | Go to the shadow with three ramifications, |
| 31 | Neither shady nor protecting against the blazing Fire. |
| 32 | It will throw out sparks as logs of wood |
| 33 | So like golden camels." |
| 34 | Alas the woe that day for those who deny! |
| 35 | They will not be able to speak that day, |
| 36 | Nor given leave to make excuses. |
| 37 | Alas the woe that day for those who deny! |
| 38 | That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be (you) and the earlier (generations). |
| 39 | So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. |
| 40 | Alas the woe that day for those who deny! |
| 41 | Those who take heed for themselves and fear God, will be amidst shade and springs of water, |
| 42 | And such fruits as they desire. |
| 43 | "Eat and drink with relish as reward for what you had done." |
| 44 | That is how We reward the good. |
| 45 | Alas the woe that day for those who deny! |
| 46 | Eat and enjoy for a while: You are certainly sinners. |
| 47 | Alas the woe that day for those who deny! |
| 48 | When it is said to them: "Bow in homage," they do not bow. |
| 49 | Alas the woe that day for those who deny! |
| 50 | In what other lore after this will they then believe? |
