I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),
Waalmursalati AAurfan
Chapter 77, 50 verses
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),
Waalmursalati AAurfan
By the raging hurricanes,
FaalAAasifati AAasfan
Which scatter clouds to their destined places,
Waalnnashirati nashran
Then separate them one from another,
Faalfariqati farqan
Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,
Faalmulqiyati thikran
To clear or to warn.
AAuthran aw nuthran
Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass.
Innama tooAAadoona lawaqiAAun
So when the stars are made to lose their light,
Faitha alnnujoomu tumisat
And when the heaven is rent asunder,
Waitha alssamao furijat
And when the mountains are carried away as dust,
Waitha aljibalu nusifat
And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time
Waitha alrrusulu oqqitat
To what day is the doom fixed?
Liayyi yawmin ojjilat
To the day of decision.
Liyawmi alfasli
And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is?
Wama adraka ma yawmu alfasli
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Did We not destroy the former generations?
Alam nuhliki alawwaleena
Then did We follow them up with later ones.
Thumma nutbiAAuhumu alakhireena
Even thus shall We deal with the guilty.
Kathalika nafAAalu bialmujrimeena
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Did We not create you from contemptible water?
Alam nakhluqkum min main maheenin
Then We placed it in a secure resting - place,
FajaAAalnahu fee qararin makeenin
Till an appointed term,
Ila qadarin maAAloomin
So We proportion it - - how well are We at proportioning (things).
Faqadarna faniAAma alqadiroona
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself,
Alam najAAali alarda kifatan
The living and the dead,
Ahyaan waamwatan
And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water?
WajaAAalna feeha rawasiya shamikhatin waasqaynakum maan furatan
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Walk on to that which you called a lie.
Intaliqoo ila ma kuntum bihi tukaththiboona
Walk on to the covering having three branches,
Intaliqoo ila thillin thee thalathi shuAAabin
Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame.
La thaleelin wala yughnee mina allahabi
Surely it sends up sparks like palaces,
Innaha tarmee bishararin kaalqasri
As if they were tawny camels.
Kaannahu jimalatun sufrun
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
This is the day on which they shall not speak,
Hatha yawmu la yantiqoona
And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses.
Wala yuthanu lahum fayaAAtathiroona
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore.
Hatha yawmu alfasli jamaAAnakum waalawwaleena
So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now).
Fain kana lakum kaydun fakeedooni
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be amid shades and fountains,
Inna almuttaqeena fee thilalin waAAuyoonin
And fruits such as they desire.
Wafawakiha mimma yashtahoona
Eat and drink pleasantly because of what you did.
Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima kuntum taAAmaloona
Surely thus do We reward the doers of good.
Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little; surely you are guilty.
Kuloo watamattaAAoo qaleelan innakum mujrimoona
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
And where it is said to them: Bow down, they do not bow down.
Waitha qeela lahumu irkaAAoo la yarkaAAoona
Woe on that day to the rejecters.
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
In what announcement, then, after it, will they believe?
Fabiayyi hadeethin baAAdahu yuminoona
