077 : The Emissaries

77:1

 

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

 

77:2

 

Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts,

 

77:3

 

And scatter (things) far and wide;

 

77:4

 

Then separate them, one from another,

 

77:5

 

Then spread abroad a Message,

 

77:6

 

Whether of Justification or of Warning;−

 

77:7

 

Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass.

 

77:8

 

Then when the stars become dim;

 

77:9

 

When the heaven is cleft asunder; When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;

 

77:11

 

And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);−

 

77:12

 

For what Day are these (portents) deferred?

 

77:13

 

For the Day of Sorting out.

 

77:14

 

And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?

 

77:15

 

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

 

77:16

 

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

 

77:17

 

So shall We make later (generations) follow them.

 

77:18

 

Thus do We deal with men of sin.

 

77:19

 

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?−

 

77:21

 

The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed,

 

77:22

 

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

 

77:23

 

For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things).

 

77:24

 

Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth!

 

77:25

 

Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together.

 

77:26

 

The living and the dead,

 

77:27

 

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

 

77:28

 

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

 

77:29

 

(It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false! "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns,

 

77:31

 

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

 

77:32

 

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

 

77:33

 

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

 

77:34

 

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

 

77:35

 

That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak.

 

77:36

 

Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas.

 

77:37

 

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

 

77:38

 

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

 

77:39

 

Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

 

77:41

 

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

 

77:42

 

And (they shall have) fruits,− all they desire.

 

77:43

 

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

 

77:44

 

Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good.

 

77:45

 

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

 

77:46

 

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

 

77:47

 

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

 

77:48

 

And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so.

 

77:49

 

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! Then what Message, after that, will they believe in? −− 077 : The Emissaries −−
