Amatul Rahman Omar - Sura: 77. Al-Mursalat - Those Sent Forth

  1. I call to witness those (messengers of Truth) who are sent forth to spread goodness (in continual series),

  2. Those that drive off forcefully (falsehood and forces of evil as chaff is carried before the wind),

  3. And those that spread (the truth) far and wide,

  4. And those that fully distinguish (the right from the wrong),

  5. And those carrying the Message of (rising to) eminence far and wide (- the Qur´ân),

  6. (And those presenting this source of eminence) in an attempt to purify (some) from the abomination of sin and to warn (others),

  7. Verily, that which you are promised must come to pass.

  8. So when the small stars will be made to lose their light,

  9. And when the heaven shall be opened,

  10. And when the mountains shall be blown down to pieces,

  11. And when the Messengers shall be made to appear (in the guise of one person) at the appointed time. (It is after that the Resurrection shall take place).

  12. To what day have these (portents) been deferred;

  13. To the Day of Judgment.

  14. How shall you know what the Day of Judgment is?

  15. On that day woe shall befall those who belie (the truth).

  16. Did We not destroy the earlier peoples?

  17. We will now cause the later generations to follow suit.

  18. That is how We deal with the guilty.

  19. On that day woe shall befall those who belie (the truth).

  20. Did We not create you from an insignificant fluid,

  21. Then We placed it in a secure and safe place,

  22. Till an appointed term?

  23. Thus did We determine, and how good We are at determining!

  24. On that day woe shall befall those who belie (the truth).

  25. Have We not made the earth revolving and capable of drawing (other bodies) towards itself,

  26. The living and the dead?

  27. And (have We not) made therein lofty mountains and (by means of them) We provide you sweet and wholesome water to drink?

  28. On that day woe shall befall those who belie (the truth).

  29. (It will be said to the followers of Trinity,) `Now, move on towards that (punishment) which you cried lies to,

  30. `Move on to the shadow that has three branches,

  31. `(Which is) neither affording shade (to you) nor protects (you) from the flame.´

  32. Rather it throws huge sparks as huge and high as towers,

  33. (Sparks) that look like tawny camels.

  34. On that day woe shall befall those who belie (the truth).

  35. This is a day when they shall not be able to speak,

  36. Nor shall they be allowed to offer excuses.

  37. On that day woe shall befall those who belie (the truth).

  38. (God will tell them,) `This is the Day of Judgment (when) We have gathered you and all the earlier peoples together;

  39. `If you have any device try it against Me (to escape this punishment).´

  40. On that day woe shall befall those who belie (the truth)

  41. (As for) those who guarded against evil and were dutiful (to God and mankind) they shall, indeed, on that day live in the midst of comforts and (in places with) springs,

  42. And fruits, such as they desire.

  43. (It will be said to them,) `Eat and drink delightfully as a reward for that which you used to do (in your life-time).´

  44. Truly that is how We reward the doers of good.

  45. On that day woe shall befall those who belie (the Truth).

  46. (Disbelievers!) eat and enjoy yourselves for a little while (in the world). Surely, you are the guilty (ones).

  47. On that day woe shall befall those who belie (the Truth).

  48. When it is said to them, `Bow down (before your Lord)!´ they bow not down.

  49. On that day woe shall befall those who belie (the Truth).

  50. Look! in what other revelation will they believe after this (when they have refused to accept such an infallible Book as this Qur´ân).
