77:5

فَٱلْمُلْقِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا

By those who bring down the Reminder,

77:6

عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا

لِأَىِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ

For what day is the time appointed?

77:13

لِيَوْمِ ٱلْفَصْلِ

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

77:16

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Destroyed We not the former folk,

77:17

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ

أَحْيَآءًۭ وَأَمْوَٰتًۭا

Both for the living and the dead,

77:27

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ شَٰمِخَٰتٍۢ وَأَسْقَيْنَٰكُم مَّآءًۭ فُرَاتًۭا
