Surah 77

By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allâh) sent forth one after another.

And by the winds that blow violently.

And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain.

And by the Verses (of the Qur’ân) that separate the right from the wrong.

And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers,

To cut off all excuses or to warn.

Surely, what you are promised must come to pass.

Then when the stars lose their lights.

And when the heaven is cleft asunder.

And when the mountains are blown away.

And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed.

For what Day are these signs postponed?

For the Day of Sorting Out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell).

And what will explain to you what is the Day of Sorting Out?

Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

Did We not destroy the ancients?

So shall We make later generations to follow them.

Thus do We deal with the Mujrimûn (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals).

Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

Did We not create you from a despised water (semen)?
