WINDS SENT FORTH

In the name of God,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful
| 77:1 | By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit); |
| 77:2 | Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts, |
| 77:3 | And scatter (things) far and wide; |
| 77:4 | Then separate them, one from another, |
| 77:5 | Then spread abroad a Message, |
| 77:6 | Whether of Justification or of Warning;- |
| 77:7 | Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. |
| 77:8 | Then when the stars become dim; |
| 77:9 | When the heaven is cleft asunder; |
| 77:10 | When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust; |
| 77:11 | And when the apostles are (all) appointed a time (to collect);- |
| 77:12 | For what Day are these (portents) deferred? |
| 77:13 | For the Day of Sorting out. |
| 77:14 | And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out? |
| 77:15 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 77:16 | Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)? |
| 77:17 | So shall We make later (generations) follow them. |
| 77:18 | Thus do We deal with men of sin. |
| 77:19 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 77:20 | Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?- |
| 77:21 | The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed, |
| 77:22 | For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)? |
| 77:23 | For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things). |
| 77:24 | Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 77:25 | Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together. |
| 77:26 | The living and the dead, |
| 77:27 | And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)? |
| 77:28 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 77:29 | (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false! |
| 77:30 | "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns, |
| 77:31 | "(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze. |
| 77:32 | "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts, |
| 77:33 | "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)." |
| 77:34 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 77:35 | That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak. |
| 77:36 | Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas. |
| 77:37 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 77:38 | That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)! |
| 77:39 | Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! |
| 77:40 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 77:41 | As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water). |
| 77:42 | And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire. |
| 77:43 | "Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness). |
| 77:44 | Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good. |
| 77:45 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 77:46 | (O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners. |
| 77:47 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 77:48 | And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so. |
| 77:49 | Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! |
| 77:50 | Then what Message, after that, will they believe in? |
