Al Mursalat

1 By those [winds] sent forth in gusts

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another

2 And the winds that blow violently

2 By the raging hurricanes,

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

3 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive;

4 And those [angels] who bring criterion

4 By those who winnow with a winnowing,

5 And those [angels] who deliver a message

5 By those who bring down the Reminder,

6 As justification or warning,

6 To excuse or to warn,

7 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.

7 Surely that which ye are promised will befall.

8 So when the stars are obliterated

8 So when the stars are put out,

9 And when the heaven is opened

9 And when the sky is riven asunder,

10 And when the mountains are blown away

10 And when the mountains are blown away,

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

11 And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed -

12 For what Day was it postponed?

12 For what day is the time appointed ?

13 For the Day of Judgement.

13 For the Day of Decision.

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

14 And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! -

15 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

15 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

16 Did We not destroy the former peoples?

16 Destroyed We not the former folk,

17 Then We will follow them with the later ones.

17 Then caused the latter folk to follow after ?

18 Thus do We deal with the criminals.

18 Thus deal We ever with the guilty.

19 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

19 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

20 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained?

20 Did We not create you from a base fluid

21 And We placed it in a firm lodging

21 Which We laid up in a safe abode

22 For a known extent.

22 For a known term ?

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

23 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging!

24 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

24 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

25 Have We not made the earth a container

25 Have We not made the earth a receptacle

26 Of the living and the dead?

26 Both for the living and the dead,

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

27 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein ?

28 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

28 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

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

29 (It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny;

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

30 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold,

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

31 (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame.

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

32 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles,

33 As if they were yellowish [black] camels.

33 (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue.

34 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

34 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

35 This is a Day they will not speak,

35 This is a day wherein they speak not,

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

36 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses.

37 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

37 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

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

38 This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together.

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

39 If now ye have any wit, outwit Me.

40 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

40 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

41 Indeed, the righteous will be among shades and springs

41 Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains,

42 And fruits from whatever they desire,

42 And fruits such as they desire.

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

43 (Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye blessed, in return for what ye did.

44 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

44 Thus do We reward the good.

45 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

45 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

46 [O disbelievers], eat and enjoy yourselves a little; indeed, you are criminals.

46 Eat and take your ease (on earth) a little. Lo! ye are guilty.

47 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

47 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

48 And when it is said to them, "Bow [in prayer]," they do not bow.

48 When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down!

49 Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

49 Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

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

50 In what statement, after this, will they believe ?
