When the stars are put out
77:1-14
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,
9And when the sky is riven asunder,
10And 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?
When the stars are put out,
the sky is ripped apart.
and the mountains blown away,
13For the Day of Decision.
14
And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! -
Woe to the deniers on that day!
15Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
16Destroyed We not the former folk,
17Then caused the latter folk to follow after?
18Thus deal We ever with the guilty.
19Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Woe to the deniers on that day!
Didn't we [Allah] destroy people before?
And then caused people after them to follow them?
That's what we do to guilty people.
Woe to the deniers on that day!
20Did We not create you from a base fluid
21
Which We laid up in a safe abode
22
For a known term?
Didn't we create ou from a base fluid? [1]
23
Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging!
We are excellent arrangers!
24Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Woe to the deniers on that day!
25Have We not made the earth a receptacle
26Both for the living and the dead,
27
And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein?
Didn't we make the earth a container
for both the living and dead?
28Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Woe to the deniers 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,
Someone will say to them,
Go to the doom which you used to deny.
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.
Where there is no shelter from the flame.
34Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
35
This is a day wherein they speak not,
36
Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses.
Woe to the deniers on that day!
37Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
38
This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together.
39If now ye have any wit, outwit Me.
40Woe 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.
Woe to the deniers on that day!
This is the day of decison.
When you and the men of old are gathered together.
If you have any wit, outwite me.
Woe to the deniers on that day!
45Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
46Eat and take your ease (on earth) a little. Lo! ye are guilty.
47Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
48When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down!
49Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Woe to the deniers on that day!
Eat and enyoy yourselves a little. Lo! you are guilty.
Woe to the deniers on that day!
When they are commanded to bow down, the refuse!
Woe to the deniers on that day!
