Сура 77.

[1]   By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit);
[2]   Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts,
[3]   And scatter (things) far and wide;
[4]   Then separate them, one from another,
[5]   Then spread abroad a Message,
[6]   Whether of Justification or of Warning;-
[7]   Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass.
[8]   Then when the stars become dim;
[9]   When the heaven is cleft asunder;
[10]   When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;
[11]   And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);-
[12]   For what Day are these (portents) deferred?
[13]   For the Day of Sorting out.
[14]   And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?
[15]   Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[16]   Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?
[17]   So shall We make later (generations) follow them.
[18]   Thus do We deal with men of sin.
[19]   Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[20]   Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?-
[21]   The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed,
[22]   For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)?
[23]   For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things).
[24]   Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth!
[25]   Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together.
[26]   The living and the dead,
[27]   And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)?
[28]   Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[29]   (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false!
[30]   "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns,
[31]   "(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze.
[32]   "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts,
[33]   "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)."
[34]   Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[35]   That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak.
[36]   Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas.
[37]   Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[38]   That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)!
[39]   Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me!
[40]   Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[41]   As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).
[42]   And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire.
[43]   "Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness).
[44]   Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good.
[45]   Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[46]   (O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners.
[47]   Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[48]   And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so.
[49]   Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
[50]   Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?
