The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
| Surah 77
- The Sent Forth |
In the name of Allah,
tho Beneficent, the Merciful.
[77.1] I swear
by the emissary winds, sent one
after another (for men's benefit),
[77.2] By the raging
hurricanes,
[77.3] Which scatter clouds
to their destined places,
[77.4] Then separate them one
from another,
[77.5] Then I swear by the
angels who bring down the
revelation,
[77.6] To clear or to warn.
[77.7] Most surely what you
are threatened with must come to
pass.
[77.8] So when the stars are
made to lose their light,
[77.9] And when the heaven is
rent asunder,
[77.10] And when the
mountains are carried away as dust,
[77.11] And when the apostles
are gathered at their appointed time
li. To what day is the doom fixed?
[77.13] To the day of
decision.
[77.14] And what will make
you comprehend what the day of
decision is?
[77.15] Woe on that day to
the rejecters.
[77.16] Did We not destroy
the former generations?
[77.17] Then did We follow
them up with later ones.
[77.18] Even thus shall We
deal with the guilty.
[77.19] Woe on that day to
the rejecters.
[77.20] Did We not create you
from contemptible water?
[77.21] Then We placed it in
a secure resting-place,
[77.22] Till an appointed
term,
[77.23] So We proportion it--
how well are We at proportioning
(things).
[77.24] Woe on that day to
the rejecters.
[77.25] Have We not made the
earth to draw together to itself,
[77.26] The living and the
dead,
[77.27] And made therein
lofty mountains, and given you to
drink of sweet water?
[77.28] Woe on that day to
the rejecters.
[77.29] Walk on to that which
you called a lie.
[77.30] Walk on to the
covering having three branches,
[77.31] Neither having the
coolness of the shade nor availing
against the flame.
[77.32] Surely it sends up
sparks like palaces,
[77.33] As if they were tawny
camels.
[77.34] Woe on that day to
the rejecters.
[77.35] This is the day on
which they shall not speak,
[77.36] And permission shall
not be given to them so that they
should offer excuses.
[77.37] Woe on that day to
the rejecters.
[77.38] This is the day of
decision: We have gathered you and
those of yore.
[77.39] So if you have a
plan, plan against Me (now).
[77.40] Woe on that day to
the rejecters.
[77.41] Surely those who
guard (against evil) shall be amid
shades and fountains,
[77.42] And fruits such as
they desire.
[77.43] Eat and drink
pleasantly because of what you did.
[77.44] Surely thus do We
reward the doers of good.
[77.45] Woe on that day to
the rejecters.
[77.46] Eat and enjoy
yourselves for a little; surely you
are guilty.
[77.47] Woe on that day to
the rejecters.
[77.48] And where it is said
to them: Bow down, they do not bow
down.
[77.49] Woe on that day to
the rejecters.
[77.50] In what announcement,
then, after it, will they believe? |
