By the (Winds) Sent Forth\n One after another\n (To man's profit);\n2. Which then blow violently\n In tempestuous Gusts,\n3. And scatter (things)\n Far and wide;\n4. Then separate them,\n One from another,\n5. Then spread abroad\n A Message,\n6. Whether of Justification\n Or of Warning;\u2014\n7. Assuredly, what ye are\n Promised must come to pass.\n8. Then when the stars\n Become dim;\n9. When the heaven\n Is cleft asunder;\n10. When the mountains are\n Scattered (to the winds) as dust;\n11. And when the apostles\n Are (all) appointed a time\n (To collect);\u2014\n12. For what Day are these\n (Portents) deferred?\n13. For the Day of Sorting out.\n14. And what will explain\n To thee what is\n The Day of Sorting out?\n15. Ah woe, that Day,\n To the Rejecters of Truth!\n16. Did We not destroy\n The men of old\n (For their evil)?\n17. So shall We make\n Later (generations)\n Follow them.\n18. Thus do We deal\n With men of sin.\n19. Ah woe, that Day,\n To the Rejecters of Truth!\n20. Have We not created\n You from a fluid\n (Held) despicable?\u2014\n21. The which We placed\n In a place of rest,\n Firmly fixed,\n22. For a period (of gestation),\n Determined (according to need)?\n23. For We do determine\n (According to need); for We\n Are the Best to determine (things).\n24. Ah woe, that Day!\n To the Rejecters of Truth!\n25. Have We not made\n The earth (as a place)\n To draw together\n26. The living and the dead,\n27. And made therein\n Mountains standing firm,\n Lofty (in stature);\n And provided for you\n Water sweet (and wholesome)?\n28. Ah woe, that Day,\n To the Rejecters of Truth!\n29. (It will be said:)\n \"Depart ye to that\n Which ye used to reject\n As false!\n30. \"Depart ye to a Shadow\n (Of smoke ascending)\n In three columns,\n31. \"(Which yields) no shade\n Of coolness, and is\n Of no use against\n The fierce Blaze.\n32. \"Indeed it throws about\n Sparks (huge) as Forts,\n33. \"As if there were\n (A string of) yellow camels\n (Marching swiftly).\n34. Ah woe, that Day,\n To the Rejecters of Truth!\n35. That will be a Day\n When they shall not\nBe able to speak,\n36. Nor will it be\n Open to them\n To put forth pleas.\n37. Ah woe, that Day,\n To the Rejecters of Truth!\n38. That will be a Day\n Of Sorting out! We shall\n Gather you together\n And those before (you)!\n39. Now, if ye have\n A trick (or plot),\n Use it against Me!\n40. Ah woe, that Day,\n To the Rejecters of Truth!\n41. As to the Righteous,\n They shall be amidst\n (Cool) shades and springs\n (Of water),\n42. And (they shall have)\n Fruits,\u2014all they desire.\n43. \"Eat ye and drink ye\n To your heart's content:\n For that ye worked\n (Righteousness).\n44. Thus do We certainly\n Reward the Doers of Good.\n45. Ah woe, that Day,\n To the Rejecters of Truth!\n46. (O ye Unjust!)\n Eat ye and enjoy yourselves\n (But) a little while,\n For that ye are Sinners.\n47. Ah woe, that Day,\n To the Rejecters of Truth!\n48. And when it is said\n To them, \"Prostrate yourselves!\"\n They do not so.\n49. Ah woe, that Day,\n To the Rejecters of Truth!\n50. Then what Message,\n After that,\n Will they believe in?","title":"The Holy Quran: S\u016bra LXXVII. Mursal\u0101t, or Those...","type":"page"}
