In the name of Allah, tho Beneficent, the Merciful.

"77.1":    I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),

"77.2":    By the raging hurricanes,

"77.3":    Which scatter clouds to their destined places,

"77.4":    Then separate them one from another,

"77.5":     Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,

"77.6":    To clear or to warn.

"77.7":    Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass.

"77.8":    So when the stars are made to lose their light,

"77.9":    And when the heaven is rent asunder,

"77.10":    And when the mountains are carried away as dust,

"77.11":    And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time.

"77.12":     To what day is the doom fixed?

"77.13":    To the day of decision.

"77.14":    And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is?

"77.15":    Woe on that day to the rejecters.

"77.16":    Did We not destroy the former generations?

"77.17":     Then did We follow them up with later ones.

"77.18":     Even thus shall We deal with the guilty.

"77.19":    Woe on that day to the rejecters.

"77.20":    Did We not create you from contemptible water?

"77.21":    Then We placed it in a secure resting-place,

"77.22":    Till an appointed term,

"77.23":    So We proportion it -- how well are We at proportioning (things).

"77.24":    Woe on that day to the rejecters.

"77.25":    Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself,

"77.26":    The living and the dead,

"77.27":    And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water?

"77.28":    Woe on that day to the rejecters.

"77.29":    Walk on to that which you called a lie.

"77.30":    Walk on to the covering having three branches,

"77.31":    Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame.

"77.32":    Surely it sends up sparks like palaces,

"77.33":    As if they were tawny camels.

"77.34":    Woe on that day to the rejecters.

"77.35":    This is the day on which they shall not speak,

"77.36":    And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses.

"77.37":    Woe on that day to the rejecters.

"77.38":    This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore.

"77.39":    So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now).

"77.40":    Woe on that day to the rejecters.

"77.41":    Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be amid shades and fountains,

"77.42":    And fruits such as they desire.

"77.43":    Eat and drink pleasantly because of what you did.

"77.44":    Surely thus do We reward the doers of good.

"77.45":    Woe on that day to the rejecters.

"77.46":    Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little; surely you are guilty.

"77.47":    Woe on that day to the rejecters.

"77.48":    And where it is said to them: Bow down, they do not bow down.

"77.49":    Woe on that day to the rejecters.

"77.50":    In what announcement, then, after it, will they believe?
