Al Mursalat

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

1 By those [winds] sent forth in gusts

Shakir

2 By the raging hurricanes,

Saheeh International

2 And the winds that blow violently

Shakir

3 Which scatter clouds to their destined places,

Saheeh International

3 And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

Shakir

4 Then separate them one from another,

Saheeh International

4 And those [angels] who bring criterion

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

5 And those [angels] who deliver a message

Shakir

6 To clear or to warn.

Saheeh International

6 As justification or warning,

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

7 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

8 So when the stars are obliterated

Shakir

9 And when the heaven is rent asunder,

Saheeh International

9 And when the heaven is opened

Shakir

10 And when the mountains are carried away as dust,

Saheeh International

10 And when the mountains are blown away

Shakir

11 And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time

Saheeh International

11 And when the messengers' time has come...

Shakir

12 To what day is the doom fixed?

Saheeh International

12 For what Day was it postponed?

Shakir

13 To the day of decision.

Saheeh International

13 For the Day of Judgement.

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

14 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement?

Shakir

15 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

Saheeh International

15 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

Shakir

16 Did We not destroy the former generations?

Saheeh International

16 Did We not destroy the former peoples?

Shakir

17 Then did We follow them up with later ones.

Saheeh International

17 Then We will follow them with the later ones.

Shakir

18 Even thus shall We deal with the guilty.

Saheeh International

Shakir

19 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

Shakir

20 Did We not create you from contemptible water?

Saheeh International

20 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained?

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

21 And We placed it in a firm lodging

Shakir

22 Till an appointed term,

Saheeh International

22 For a known extent.

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

23 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine.

Shakir

24 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

Saheeh International

24 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

25 Have We not made the earth a container

Shakir

26 The living and the dead,

Saheeh International

26 Of the living and the dead?

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

27 And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water.

Shakir

28 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

Saheeh International

28 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

Shakir

29 Walk on to that which you called a lie.

Saheeh International

29 [They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny.

Shakir

30 Walk on to the covering having three branches,

Saheeh International

30 Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

31 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame."

Shakir

32 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces,

Saheeh International

32 Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress,

Shakir

33 As if they were tawny camels.

Saheeh International

33 As if they were yellowish [black] camels.

Shakir

34 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

Saheeh International

34 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

35 This is a Day they will not speak,

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

36 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse.

Shakir

37 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

Saheeh International

37 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

38 This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples.

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

39 So if you have a plan, then plan against Me.

Shakir

40 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

41 Indeed, the righteous will be among shades and springs

Shakir

42 And fruits such as they desire.

Saheeh International

42 And fruits from whatever they desire,

Shakir

43 Eat and drink pleasantly because of what you did.

Saheeh International

43 [Being told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you used to do."

Shakir

44 Surely thus do We reward the doers of good.

Saheeh International

44 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

Shakir

45 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

Saheeh International

Shakir

47 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

Saheeh International

47 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

Shakir

Shakir

49 Woe on that day to the rejecters.

Saheeh International

49 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

Shakir

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

Saheeh International

50 Then in what statement after the Qur'an will they believe?
