77:1  By the winds blowing in any of the four directions and of gradual degrees of force perceptible to the senses
77:2  Then they become high, causing violent disturbance of the atmosphere and may engender a storm
77:3  and by the winds carrying clouds* floating at various heights and scatter them and drift them to where a nimbus must form
77:4  and by the angels carrying Allah's Messages to His Messengers heralding the standard by which anything is judged right or wrong, virtuous or immoral, permissible or forbidden
77:5  Then they disclose to them -to the Messengers- Allah's revelations and ordinances which inspirit the faith
77:6  To admonish the responsive who opens his hearts' ears and warn the irresponsive, who turns a deaf ear
77:7  That all that you have been promised, from resurrection to judgment and paying off the equivalent will come to pass
77:8  When the stars are dimmed and emit no light,
77:9  And the heaven is split asunder
77:10  And the mountains melt and disappear out of sight
77:11  and at a later deferred date shall all the Messengers be made to convene
77:12  But as to which day has the Messengers convention been postponed and when will it then be made to supervene
77:13  It has been postponed until the Day of decision and adjudication
77:14  You just do not know what this Day of decision and adjudication is like
77:15  Woe then, to those who looked upon the truth as manifest falsification
77:16  Did We not destroy those who charged Our Messengers with falsehood among the predecessors
77:17  and in like manner did We destroy the successors
77:18  Thus do We requite people given to sin
77:19  Woe then, to those who looked upon the truth as an intentional assertion of falsehood
77:20  Did We not bring you into being from a contemptible fluid, an ejaculation
77:21  Fluid whose product, the fertilized seed,* We embedded in the depth of a safe and secure situation (the womb)
77:22  For a determined period of gestation
77:23  We then determined, besides the span of this period, the relevant constitution and how right is the determination
77:24  Woe then, to those who looked upon the truth as an intentional assertion of falsehood
77:25  Did We not make the earth widely spread,
77:26  To accommodate the living and the dead
77:27  Did We not establish therein firm mountains* to afford stabilization, and furnish you with a supply of fresh water from springs, rain fall and other sources, each, in a blessed stead
77:28  Woe then, to those who looked upon the truth as an intentional assertion of falsehood
77:29  There and then shall the wicked be told "Now suffer the consequence of what you denied and treated as falsehood"
77:30  "Go to the blaze, with its fumes and scarlet shade and its flames that are shooting out in three colossal branches"
77:31  Which neither screen, nor hide nor protect from the heat or from the blazing flames streaming in avalanches
77:32  Fire throwing off sparks as immense as the fortress
77:33  Sparks looking like huge implements covered with copper troubling the infidels grievously and subjecting them to a severe distress
77:34  Woe then to those who looked upon the truth as an intentional assertion of what is false
77:35  This is the Day they are dumbfounded and unable to talk
77:36  Nor are they permitted to plea in justification of their deeds of inequity nor of the deeds which with their words did not accor
77:37  Woe. then to those who looked upon the truth as an intentional assertion of falsehood
77:38  This is the Day of decision and adjudication, and thereon will We throng you all including all who came before
77:39  Now if you have a plan to evade judgment, conduct it to conclusion if you can
77:40  Woe then to those who looked upon the truth as an intentional assertion of what is false
77:41  But the righteous who keep Allah in mind with bosoms filled with reverential awe are amidst cool shades and spectacular springs
77:42  and delicious fruits to their hearts’ desire and all that righteousness merits and the felicity it brings
77:43  They shall be told: "Eat and drink and enjoy all that affords pleasure in return for your deeds and actions which involved effort directed to a definite and commendable end."
77:44  For thus do We reward those whose deeds are imprinted with wisdom and piety and the benevolence they spend
77:45  Woe then, to those who looked upon the truth as an intentional assertion of falsehood
77:46  You infidels may eat and enjoy yourselves here, but the span is short and then your iniquities shall be laid to your charge
77:47  Woe to those who looked upon the truth as an intentional assertion of falsehood
77:48  When told to engage in the act of worship and to humble themselves to Allah and bow down to Him in adoration, they refuse
77:49  Woe then. to those who looked upon the truth as an intentional assertion of what is false, for nothing then will serve as an excuse
77:50  What then will convince them if this Quran does not
