77:1  By the dispatches, bearing beneficence:
77:2  By the storms bearing transformational force
77:3  By the disseminators’ disseminating far and wide
77:4  By the differentiators differentiating
77:5  By the presentations offering a reminder
77:6  absolving, or warning—
77:7  Of certain, what you are promised is definite to happen.
77:8  So then when the stars are erased
77:9  And the sky is parted
77:10  And when the mountains are pulverized
77:11  And when the messengers are situated in their appointed time
77:12  For which day are these deferred?
77:13  — For the Day of Sorting [true from false].
77:14  What defines for you what the Day of Sorting is?
77:15  Woe, that day, unto the truth-beliers.
77:16  Did WE not eliminate the former ones?
77:17  And then WE had the others to follow them?
77:18  Thus, do WE deal with the flouters of divine guidance
77:19  Woe, that day, unto the truth-beliers.
77:20  Have WE not created you from an organic discharge?
77:21  Then placed it in an ingrained lodgment
77:22  through to a determined measure.
77:23  Thus, do WE measure out— how perfectly do WE ever measure out [every moment of existence].
77:24  Woe, that day, unto the truth-beliers.
77:25  Have WE not made the earth a container—
77:26  of the living as well as the dead?
77:27  And WE have placed therein towering, anchored mountains and WE have slaked you with water, fresh and sweet.
77:28  Woe, that day, unto the truth-beliers.
77:29  Head on to that which you had been persistently denying
77:30  Head to a shelter, comprising of three dimensions—
77:31  None of shade, and without avail against the flame
77:32  Indeed, bursting out with volleys of sparks—like a towering fortification
77:33  [collapsing under the fire] as if it were ropes, reduced to nothingness.
77:34  Woe, that day, unto the truth-beliers.
77:35  This day they are not to articulate,
77:36  Neither will they be given permission to make up excuses.
77:37  Woe, that day, unto the truth-beliers.
77:38  This is the Day of Sorting. WE have gathered you and all the preceding ones.
77:39  So, if there be a plan you have— then out-plan ME.
77:40  Woe, that day, unto the truth-beliers.
77:41  Indeed, the God-conscious are amidst shades and springs
77:42  And delicious fruits from whatever they desire:
77:43  “Eat and drink pleasurably, on account of what you were doing.”
77:44  Indeed, that is how WE recompense the ones who do good in selfless devotion to God.
77:45  Woe that day, unto the truth-beliers.
77:46  “Eat and indulge in worldly pursuits, a little. Surely, you are flouters of divine guidance.”
77:47  Woe, that day, unto the truth-beliers.
77:48  And when it said to them, “Bow!” They do not bow.
77:49  Woe, that day, unto the truth-beliers.
77:50  So, in which message after it [i.e., the Quran] will they believe?
