77:1  I swear by (or call to witness) the emissary winds sent one after another for men´s benefit

77:2  By the raging hurricanes

77:3  Which scatter things far and wide

77:4  And separate things one from another

77:5  Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation (or message)

77:6  To clarify or to warn

77:7  Most surely what you are promised must come to pass

77:8  So when the stars are made dim

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 messengers are gathered at their appointed tim

77:12  To what Day are these signs appointed

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 a fluid regarded contemptible

77:21  Which We laid in a safe abode (the womb)

77:22  Till an appointed term

77:23  Thus We arrange things - how well are We at arranging things

77:24  Woe on that day to the rejecters

77:25  Have We not made the earth draw together to itself

77:26  The living and the dead

77:27  And placed therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink sweet water from them

77:28  Woe on that day to the rejecters

77:29  Go on to that which you used to deny!

77:30  Go on to the smoke with three branches (or three fold shadow)

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  Nor are they permitted to make excuses (or pleas)

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 when it is said to them, "Bow down (in humility), they bow not

77:49  Woe on that day to the rejecters

77:50  In what announcement, then, after this, will they believe
