77. "The Emissaries"
  
     
1.
 By the emissary winds, sent one after another
 
2.
 By the raging hurricanes,  
3.
 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive;
 
4.
 By those who strip vegetation bare with a howling,
 
5.
 By those who bring down the Reminder,
 
6.
 To excuse or to warn,  
7.
 Surely that which you are promised will befall.
 
8.
 So when the stars are put out,  
9.
 And when the world is in turmoil,
 
10.
 And when the mountains are blown away,
 
11.
 And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed -
 
12.
 For what day is the time appointed?
 
13.
 For the Day of Decision.  
14.
 And what will convey unto you what the Day of Decision is! -
 
15.
 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
 
16.
 Destroyed We not the former folk,
 
17.
 Then caused the latter folk to follow after?
 
18.
 Thus deal We ever with the guilty.
 
19.
 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
 
20.
 Did The Lord not create you from a base stream of awareness
 
21.
 Which He laid up in a safe abode
 
22.
 For a known term?  
23.
 Thus He arranged. How excellent is the Lord's arranging!
 
24.
 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
 
25.
 Has the Lord not made the earth a receptacle
 
26.
 Both for the living and the dead,
 
27.
 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein?
 
28.
 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
 
29.
 It will be said unto them: Depart unto that doom which you used to deny;
 
30.
 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold,
 
31.
 (Which yet is no relief nor shelter from the self appointed anguish.
 
32.
 Behold! it throweth up sparks like the castles,
 
33.
 Or as it might be camels of bright yellow hue.  
34.
 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
 
35.
 This is a day wherein they speak not,
 
36.
 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses.
 
37.
 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
 
38.
 This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together.
 
39.
 If now you have any wit, outwit these words of truth.
 
40.
 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
 
41.
 Behold! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains of One Heaven
 
42.
 And fruits such as they desire.
 
43.
 Unto them it is said: Eat, drink and welcome, O you blessed, in return for what you did.  
44.
 Thus do We reward the good.
 
45.
 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
 
46.
 So Eat and take your ease on Earth a little while. For behold! you are guilty.
 
47.
 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
 
48.
 When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down!
 
49.
 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
 
50.
 In what statement, after this, will they believe?
