77. Al-Mursalaat - Those sent forth
| 1 | By the loosed ones successively |
| 2 | storming tempestuously |
| 3 | by the scatterers scattering |
| 4 | and the severally severing |
| 5 | and those hurling a reminder |
| 6 | excusing or warning, |
| 7 | surely that which you are promised is about to fall! |
| 8 | When the stars shall be extinguished, |
| 9 | when heaven shall be split |
| 10 | when the mountains shall be scattered |
| 11 | and when the Messengers' time is set, |
| 12 | to what day shall they be delayed? |
| 13 | To the Day of Decision. |
| 14 | And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision? |
| 15 | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 16 | Did We not destroy the ancients, |
| 17 | and then follow them with the later folk? |
| 18 | So We serve the sinners. |
| 19 | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 20 | Did We not create you of a mean water, |
| 21 | that We laid within a sure lodging |
| 22 | till a known term decreed? |
| 23 | We determined; excellent determiners are We. |
| 24 | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 25 | Made We not the earth to be a housing |
| 26 | for the living and for the dead? |
| 27 | Set We not therein soaring mountains? Sated you with sweetest water? |
| 28 | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 29 | Depart to that you cried was lies! |
| 30 | Depart to a triple-massing shadow |
| 31 | unshading against the blazing flame |
| 32 | that shoots sparks like dry faggots, |
| 33 | sparks like to golden herds. |
| 34 | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 35 | This is the day they shall not speak |
| 36 | neither be given leave, and excuse themselves. |
| 37 | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 38 | 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; |
| 39 | if you have a trick, try you now to trick Me!' |
| 40 | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 41 | Truly the godfearing shall dwell amid shades and fountains, |
| 42 | and such fruits as their hearts desire: |
| 43 | 'Eat and drink, with wholesome appetite, for that you were working.' |
| 44 | Even so do We recompense the good-doers. |
| 45 | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 46 | 'Eat and take your joy a little; you are sinners!' |
| 47 | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 48 | When it is said to them, 'Prostrate yourselves!' they prostrate not. |
| 49 | Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! |
| 50 | In what discourse after this will they believe? |
