Chapter 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? 17 Then did We follow them up with later ones. 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?
