77. Al-Mursalat

وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا

By those [winds] sent forth in gusts

فَالْعَاصِفَاتِ عَصْفًا

And the winds that blow violently

وَالنَّاشِرَاتِ نَشْرًا

And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

فَالْفَارِقَاتِ فَرْقًا

And those [angels] who bring criterion

فَالْمُلْقِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا

And those [angels] who deliver a message

عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا

As justification or warning,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَاقِعٌ

Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.

فَإِذَا النُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ

So when the stars are obliterated

وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ فُرِجَتْ

And when the heaven is opened

وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ

And when the mountains are blown away

وَإِذَا الرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ

And when the messengers' time has come...

لِأَيِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ

For what Day was it postponed?

لِيَوْمِ الْفَصْلِ

For the Day of Judgement.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ

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

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ الْأَوَّلِينَ

Did We not destroy the former peoples?

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ الْآخِرِينَ

Then We will follow them with the later ones.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ

Thus do We deal with the criminals.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّاءٍ مَّهِينٍ

Did We not create you from a liquid disdained?

فَجَعَلْنَاهُ فِي قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ

And We placed it in a firm lodging

إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

For a known extent.

فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ الْقَادِرُونَ

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

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا

Have We not made the earth a container

أَحْيَاءً وَأَمْوَاتًا

Of the living and the dead?

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ شَامِخَاتٍ وَأَسْقَيْنَاكُم مَّاءً فُرَاتًا

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

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

انطَلِقُوا إِلَىٰ مَا كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ

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

انطَلِقُوا إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّ ذِي ثَلَاثِ شُعَبٍ

Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns

لَّا ظَلِيلٍ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِنَ اللَّهَبِ

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

إِنَّهَا تَرْمِي بِشَرَرٍ كَالْقَصْرِ

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

كَأَنَّهُ جِمَالَتٌ صُفْرٌ

As if they were yellowish [black] camels.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ لَا يَنطِقُونَ

This is a Day they will not speak,

وَلَا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُونَ

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

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ ۖ جَمَعْنَاكُمْ وَالْأَوَّلِينَ

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

فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمْ كَيْدٌ فَكِيدُونِ

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

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي ظِلَالٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Indeed, the righteous will be among shades and springs

وَفَوَاكِهَ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

And fruits from whatever they desire,

كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيئًا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

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

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

كُلُوا وَتَمَتَّعُوا قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُم مُّجْرِمُونَ

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

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ارْكَعُوا لَا يَرْكَعُونَ

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

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ

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