> 77. al-Mursalat: The Emissaries
> 
> 1 By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another 
> 
> 2 By the raging hurricanes, 
> 
> 3 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive; 
> 
> 4 By those who winnow with a winnowing, 
> 
> 5 By those who bring down the Reminder, 
> 
> 6 To excuse or to warn, 
> 
> 7 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 
> 
> 8 So when the stars are put out, 
> 
> 9 And when the sky is riven asunder, 
> 
> 10 And when the mountains are blown away, 
> 
> 11 And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed - 
> 
> 12 For what day is the time appointed ? 
> 
> 13 For the Day of Decision. 
> 
> 14 And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! - 
> 
> 15 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
> 
> 16 Destroyed We not the former folk, 
> 
> 17 Then caused the latter folk to follow after ? 
> 
> 18 Thus deal We ever with the guilty. 
> 
> 19 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
> 
> 20 Did We not create you from a base fluid 
> 
> 21 Which We laid up in a safe abode 
> 
> 22 For a known term ? 
> 
> 23 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! 
> 
> 24 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
> 
> 25 Have We not made the earth a receptacle 
> 
> 26 Both for the living and the dead, 
> 
> 27 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein ? 
> 
> 28 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
> 
> 29 (It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny; 
> 
> 30 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, 
> 
> 31 (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame. 
> 
> 32 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, 
> 
> 33 (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. 
> 
> 34 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
> 
> 35 This is a day wherein they speak not, 
> 
> 36 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 
> 
> 37 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
> 
> 38 This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together. 
> 
> 39 If now ye have any wit, outwit Me. 
> 
> 40 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
> 
> 41 Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains, 
> 
> 42 And fruits such as they desire. 
> 
> 43 (Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye blessed, in return for what ye did. 
> 
> 44 Thus do We reward the good. 
> 
> 45 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
> 
> 46 Eat and take your ease (on earth) a little. Lo! ye are guilty. 
> 
> 47 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
> 
> 48 When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down! 
> 
> 49 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 
> 
> 50 In what statement, after this, will they believe ?
