| 077.000 The Emissaries
|
| 077.001 |
By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another |
| 077.002 |
By the raging hurricanes, |
| 077.003 |
By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive; |
| 077.004 |
By those who winnow with a winnowing, |
| 077.005 |
By those who bring down the Reminder, |
| 077.006 |
To excuse or to warn, |
| 077.007 |
Surely that which ye are promised will befall. |
| 077.008 |
So when the stars are put out, |
| 077.009 |
And when the sky is riven asunder, |
| 077.010 |
And when the mountains are blown away, |
| 077.011 |
And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed - |
| 077.012 |
For what day is the time appointed ? |
| 077.013 |
For the Day of Decision. |
| 077.014 |
And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! - |
| 077.015 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 077.016 |
Destroyed We not the former folk, |
| 077.017 |
Then caused the latter folk to follow after ? |
| 077.018 |
Thus deal We ever with the guilty. |
| 077.019 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 077.020 |
Did We not create you from a base fluid |
| 077.021 |
Which We laid up in a safe abode |
| 077.022 |
For a known term ? |
| 077.023 |
Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! |
| 077.024 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 077.025 |
Have We not made the earth a receptacle |
| 077.026 |
Both for the living and the dead, |
| 077.027 |
And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein ? |
| 077.028 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 077.029 |
(It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny; |
| 077.030 |
Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, |
| 077.031 |
(Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame. |
| 077.032 |
Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, |
| 077.033 |
(Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. |
| 077.034 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 077.035 |
This is a day wherein they speak not, |
| 077.036 |
Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. |
| 077.037 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 077.038 |
This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together. |
| 077.039 |
If now ye have any wit, outwit Me. |
| 077.040 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 077.041 |
Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains, |
| 077.042 |
And fruits such as they desire. |
| 077.043 |
(Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye blessed, in return for what ye did. |
| 077.044 |
Thus do We reward the good. |
| 077.045 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 077.046 |
Eat and take your ease (on earth) a little. Lo! ye are guilty. |
| 077.047 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 077.048 |
When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down! |
| 077.049 |
Woe unto the repudiators on that day! |
| 077.050 |
In what statement, after this, will they believe ? |
