[077:001] By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit); [077:002] Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts, [077:003] And scatter (things) far and wide; [077:004] Then separate them, one from another, [077:005] Then spread abroad a Message, [077:006] Whether of Justification or of Warning;- [077:007] Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. [077:008] Then when the stars become dim; [077:009] When the heaven is cleft asunder; [077:010] When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust; [077:011] And when the apostles are (all) appointed a time (to collect);- [077:012] For what Day are these (portents) deferred? [077:013] For the Day of Sorting out. [077:014] And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out? [077:015] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! [077:016] Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)? [077:017] So shall We make later (generations) follow them. [077:018] Thus do We deal with men of sin. [077:019] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! [077:020] Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?- [077:021] The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed, [077:022] For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)? [077:023] For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things). [077:024] Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth! [077:025] Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together. [077:026] The living and the dead, [077:027] And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)? [077:028] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! [077:029] (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false! [077:030] "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns, [077:031] "(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze. [077:032] "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts, [077:033] "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)." [077:034] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! [077:035] That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak. [077:036] Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas. [077:037] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! [077:038] That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)! [077:039] Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! [077:040] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! [077:041] As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water). [077:042] And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire. [077:043] "Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness). [077:044] Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good. [077:045] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! [077:046] (O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners. [077:047] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! [077:048] And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so. [077:049] Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! [077:050] Then what Message, after that, will they believe in? |
