بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
77:1
وَٱلْمُرْسَلَٰتِ عُرْفًا
By those [winds] sent forth in succession,
77:2
فَٱلْعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصْفًا
those that blow violently,
77:3
وَٱلنَّٰشِرَٰتِ نَشْرًا

77:6
عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا
leaving no excuse or giving warning –
77:7
إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٌ
what you are promised will surely come to pass.
77:8

and when the mountains are blown away,
77:11
وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ
and when the messengers are summoned²,
77:12
لِأَىِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ
until which Day has all this been postponed?
77:13
لِيَوْمِ ٱلْفَصْلِ
Until the Day of Judgment.
77:14
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ

فَجَعَلْنَٰهُ فِى قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ
then We placed it in a secure repository
77:22
إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
for a determined period⁴?
77:23
فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْقَٰدِرُونَ
For We determined it; How excellently We determine!

أَحْيَآءً وَأَمْوَٰتًا
for the living and the dead,
77:27
وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ شَٰمِخَٰتٍ وَأَسْقَيْنَٰكُم مَّآءً فُرَاتًا

Proceed to the shadow [of smoke] ascending in three columns,
77:31
لَّا ظَلِيلٍ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ

كَأَنَّهُۥ جِمَٰلَتٌ صُفْرٌ
as if they were tawny camels⁶.
