Asad, Surah 77: The Emissaries (Al-Mursalaat)

Surahs

[1] CONSIDER these [messages,] sent forth in waves

[2] and then storming on with a tempest's force!

[3] Consider these [messages] that spread [the truth] far and wide,

[4] thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity,

[5] and then giving forth a reminder,

[6] [promising] freedom from blame or [offering] a warning!

[7] BEHOLD, all that you are told to expect will surely come to pass.

[8] Thus, [it will come to pass] when the stars are effaced,

[9] and when the sky is rent asunder,

[10] and when the mountains are scattered like dust,

[11] and when all the apostles are called together at a time appointed...

[12] For what day has the term [of all this] been set?

[13] For the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false]!

[14] And what could make thee conceive what that Day of Distinction will be?

[15] Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth!

[16] Did We not destroy [so many of] those [sinners] of olden days?

[17] And We shall let them be followed by those of later times:

[18] [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin.

[19] Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth!

[20] Did We not create you out of a humble fluid

[21] which We then let remain in [the womb's] firm keeping

[22] for a term pre-ordained?

[23] Thus have We determined [the nature of man's creation]: and excellent indeed is Our power to determine [what is to be]!

[24] Woe, on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth!

[25] Have We not caused the earth to hold within itself

[26] the living and the dead?

[27] and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink?

[28] Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth!

[29] GO ON towards that [resurrection] which you were wont to call a lie!

[30] Go on towards the threefold shadow

[31] that will offer no [cooling] shade and will be of no avail against the flame

[32] which – behold!- will throw up sparks like [burning] logs,

[33] like giant fiery ropes!

[34] Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth –

[35] that Day on which they will not [be able to] utter a word,

[36] nor be allowed to proffer excuses!

[37] Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth –

[38] that Day of Distinction [between the true and the false, when they will be told]: "We have brought you together with those [sinners] of olden times;

[39] and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!"

[40] Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth!

[41] [AS AGAINST this,] behold, the God-conscious shall dwell amidst [cooling] shades and springs,

[42] and [partake of] whatever fruit they may desire;

[43] [and they will be told:] "Eat and drink in good cheer in return for what you did [in life]!"

[44] Thus, behold, do We reward the doers of good;

[45] [but] woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth!

[46] EAT [your fill] and enjoy your life for a little while, O you who are lost in sin!

[47] [But] woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth,

[48] and when they are told, "Bow down [before God]", do not bow down:

[49] woe on that Day unto those who give the to the truth!

[50] In what other tiding, then, will they, after this, believe?
