Al Mursalat

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allah) sent forth one after another.

1 Waalmursalati AAurfan

2 And by the winds that blow violently.

2 FaalAAasifati AAasfan

3 And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain.

3 Waalnnashirati nashran

4 And by the Verses (of the Qur'an) that separate the right from the wrong.

4 Faalfariqati farqan

5 And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers,

5 Faalmulqiyati thikran

6 To cut off all excuses or to warn.

6 AAuthran aw nuthran

7 Surely, what you are promised must come to pass.

7 Innama tooAAadoona lawaqiAAun

8 Then when the stars lose their lights.

8 Faitha alnnujoomu tumisat

9 And when the heaven is cleft asunder.

9 Waitha alssamao furijat

10 And when the mountains are blown away.

10 Waitha aljibalu nusifat

11 And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed.

11 Waitha alrrusulu oqqitat

12 For what Day are these signs postponed?

12 Liayyi yawmin ojjilat

13 For the Day of Sorting Out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell).

13 Liyawmi alfasli

14 And what will explain to you what is the Day of Sorting Out?

14 Wama adraka ma yawmu alfasli

15 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

15 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

16 Did We not destroy the ancients?

16 Alam nuhliki alawwaleena

17 So shall We make later generations to follow them.

17 Thumma nutbiAAuhumu alakhireena

18 Thus do We deal with the Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals).

18 Kathalika nafAAalu bialmujrimeena

19 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

19 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

20 Did We not create you from a despised water (semen)?

20 Alam nakhluqkum min main maheenin

21 Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb),

21 FajaAAalnahu fee qararin makeenin

22 For a known period (determined by gestation)?

22 Ila qadarin maAAloomin

23 So We did measure; and We are the Best to measure (the things).

23 Faqadarna faniAAma alqadiroona

24 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

24 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

25 Have We not made the earth a receptacle

25 Alam najAAali alarda kifatan

26 For the living and the dead?

26 Ahyaan waamwatan

27 And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains, and have given you to drink sweet water?

27 WajaAAalna feeha rawasiya shamikhatin waasqaynakum maan furatan

28 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

28 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

29 (It will be said to the disbelievers): "Depart you to that which you used to deny!

29 Intaliqoo ila ma kuntum bihi tukaththiboona

30 "Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-Fire smoke ascending) in three columns,

30 Intaliqoo ila thillin thee thalathi shuAAabin

31 Neither shady, nor of any use against the fierce flame of the Fire."

31 La thaleelin wala yughnee mina allahabi

32 Verily, it (Hell) throws sparks (huge) as Al-Qasr (a fort or a huge log of wood),

32 Innaha tarmee bishararin kaalqasri

33 As if they were yellow camels or bundles of ropes.

33 Kaannahu jimalatun sufrun

34 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

34 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

35 That will be a Day when they shall not speak (during some part of it),

35 Hatha yawmu la yantiqoona

36 And they will not be permitted to put forth any excuse.

36 Wala yuthanu lahum fayaAAtathiroona

37 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

37 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

38 That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together!

38 Hatha yawmu alfasli jamaAAnakum waalawwaleena

39 So if you have a plot, use it against Me (Allah جل جلاله)!

39 Fain kana lakum kaydun fakeedooni

40 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

40 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

41 Verily, the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2) shall be amidst shades and springs.

41 Inna almuttaqeena fee thilalin waAAuyoonin

42 And fruits, such as they desire.

42 Wafawakiha mimma yashtahoona

43 "Eat and drink comfortably for that which you used to do."

43 Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima kuntum taAAmaloona

44 Verily, thus We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers. See V.2:112).

44 Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena

45 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

45 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

46 (O you disbelievers)! Eat and enjoy yourselves (in this worldly life) for a little while. Verily, you are the Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals).

46 Kuloo watamattaAAoo qaleelan innakum mujrimoona

47 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

47 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

48 And when it is said to them: "Bow down yourself (in prayer)!" They bow not down (offer not their prayers).

48 Waitha qeela lahumu irkaAAoo la yarkaAAoona

49 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

49 Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena

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

50 Fabiayyi hadeethin baAAdahu yuminoona
