Al Mursalat

1 I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),

1 Waalmursalati AAurfan

2 By the raging hurricanes,

2 FaalAAasifati AAasfan

3 Which scatter clouds to their destined places,

3 Waalnnashirati nashran

4 Then separate them one from another,

4 Faalfariqati farqan

5 Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,

5 Faalmulqiyati thikran

6 To clear or to warn.

6 AAuthran aw nuthran

7 Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass.

7 Innama tooAAadoona lawaqiAAun

8 So when the stars are made to lose their light,

8 Faitha alnnujoomu tumisat

9 And when the heaven is rent asunder,

9 Waitha alssamao furijat

10 And when the mountains are carried away as dust,

10 Waitha aljibalu nusifat

11 And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time

11 Waitha alrrusulu oqqitat

12 To what day is the doom fixed?

12 Liayyi yawmin ojjilat

13 To the day of decision.

13 Liyawmi alfasli

14 And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is?

14 Wama adraka ma yawmu alfasli

15 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

15 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

16 Did We not destroy the former generations?

16 Alam nuhliki alawwaleena

17 Then did We follow them up with later ones.

17 Thumma nutbiAAuhumu alakhireena

18 Even thus shall We deal with the guilty.

18 Kathalika nafAAalu bialmujrimeena

19 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

19 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

20 Did We not create you from contemptible water?

20 Alam nakhluqkum min main maheenin

21 Then We placed it in a secure resting - place,

21 FajaAAalnahu fee qararin makeenin

22 Till an appointed term,

22 Ila qadarin maAAloomin

23 So We proportion it - - how well are We at proportioning (things).

23 Faqadarna faniAAma alqadiroona

24 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

24 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

25 Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself,

25 Alam najAAali alarda kifatan

26 The living and the dead,

26 Ahyaan waamwatan

27 And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water?

27 WajaAAalna feeha rawasiya shamikhatin waasqaynakum maan furatan

28 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

28 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

29 Walk on to that which you called a lie.

29 Intaliqoo ila ma kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

30 Walk on to the covering having three branches,

30 Intaliqoo ila thillin thee thalathi shuAAabin

31 Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame.

31 La thaleelin wala yughnee mina allahabi

32 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces,

32 Innaha tarmee bishararin kaalqasri

33 As if they were tawny camels.

33 Kaannahu jimalatun sufrun

34 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

34 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

35 This is the day on which they shall not speak,

35 Hatha yawmu la yantiqoona

36 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses.

36 Wala yuthanu lahum fayaAAtathiroona

37 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

37 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

38 This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore.

38 Hatha yawmu alfasli jamaAAnakum waalawwaleena

39 So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now).

39 Fain kana lakum kaydun fakeedooni

40 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

40 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

41 Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be amid shades and fountains,

41 Inna almuttaqeena fee thilalin waAAuyoonin

42 And fruits such as they desire.

42 Wafawakiha mimma yashtahoona

43 Eat and drink pleasantly because of what you did.

43 Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima kuntum taAAmaloona

44 Surely thus do We reward the doers of good.

44 Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena

45 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

45 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

46 Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little; surely you are guilty.

46 Kuloo watamattaAAoo qaleelan innakum mujrimoona

47 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

47 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

48 And where it is said to them: Bow down, they do not bow down.

48 Waitha qeela lahumu irkaAAoo la yarkaAAoona

49 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

49 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

50 In what announcement, then, after it, will they believe?

50 Fabiayyi hadeethin baAAdahu yuminoona
