Surah Al-Mursalat المرسلات

وَٱلۡمُرۡسَلَٰتِ عُرۡفٗا ١

By the [winds] sent forth in swift succession,

فَٱلۡعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصۡفٗا ٢

violently storming,

وَٱلنَّٰشِرَٰتِ نَشۡرٗا ٣

scattering far and wide,

فَٱلۡفَٰرِقَٰتِ فَرۡقٗا ٤

separating forcefully,

فَٱلۡمُلۡقِيَٰتِ ذِكۡرًا ٥

delivering a reminder,

عُذۡرًا أَوۡ نُذۡرًا ٦

as a proof or a warning:

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٞ ٧

what you are promised will come to pass.

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتۡ ٨

When the stars are dimmed

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتۡ ٩

and the sky is torn apart,

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ نُسِفَتۡ ١٠

when the mountains are turned to dust

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتۡ ١١

and the messengers given their appointed time––

لِأَيِّ يَوۡمٍ أُجِّلَتۡ ١٢

for what Day has all this been set?

لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ١٣

The Day of Decision.

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ١٤

What will explain to you what the Day of Decision is?

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٥

Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth!

أَلَمۡ نُهۡلِكِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ١٦

Did We not destroy the first [of them]?

ثُمَّ نُتۡبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ١٧

We shall make the last follow them:

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ ١٨

this is how We deal with the guilty.

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٩

Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth!

أَلَمۡ نَخۡلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٖ مَّهِينٖ ٢٠

Did We not make you from an underrated fluid

فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ فِي قَرَارٖ مَّكِينٍ ٢١

which We housed in a safe lodging

إِلَىٰ قَدَرٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ ٢٢

for a determined period?

فَقَدَرۡنَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡقَٰدِرُونَ ٢٣

We determine [it]: how excellently We determine!

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٢٤

Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth!

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ كِفَاتًا ٢٥

Did We not make the earth a home

أَحۡيَآءٗ وَأَمۡوَٰتٗا ٢٦

for the living and the dead?

وَجَعَلۡنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ شَٰمِخَٰتٖ وَأَسۡقَيۡنَٰكُم مَّآءٗ فُرَاتٗا ٢٧

Did We not place firm, lofty mountains on it and provide you with sweet water?

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٢٨

Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth!

ٱنطَلِقُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٩

They will be told, ‘Go to that which you used to deny!

ٱنطَلِقُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ ظِلّٖ ذِي ثَلَٰثِ شُعَبٖ ٣٠

Go to a shadow of smoke!’ It rises in three columns;

لَّا ظَلِيلٖ وَلَا يُغۡنِي مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ ٣١

no shade does it give, nor relief from the flame;

إِنَّهَا تَرۡمِي بِشَرَرٖ كَٱلۡقَصۡرِ ٣٢

It shoots out sparks as large as tree trunks

كَأَنَّهُۥ جِمَٰلَتٞ صُفۡرٞ ٣٣

and as bright as copper.

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٣٤

Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth!

هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ لَا يَنطِقُونَ ٣٥

On that Day they will be speechless,

وَلَا يُؤۡذَنُ لَهُمۡ فَيَعۡتَذِرُونَ ٣٦

and they will be given no chance to offer any excuses.

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٣٧

Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth!

هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِۖ جَمَعۡنَٰكُمۡ وَٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٣٨

[They will be told], ‘This is the Day of Decision: We have gathered you and earlier generations.

فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمۡ كَيۡدٞ فَكِيدُونِ ٣٩

If you have any plots against Me, try them now.’

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٤٠

Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth!

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي ظِلَٰلٖ وَعُيُونٖ ٤١

But those who took heed of God will enjoy cool shade, springs,

وَفَوَٰكِهَ مِمَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ ٤٢

and any fruit they desire;

كُلُواْ وَٱشۡرَبُواْ هَنِيٓـَٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٤٣

[they will be told], ‘Eat and drink to your hearts’ content as a reward for your deeds:

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ٤٤

this is how We reward those who do good.’

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٤٥

Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth!

كُلُواْ وَتَمَتَّعُواْ قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُم مُّجۡرِمُونَ ٤٦

[You may] eat and enjoy yourselves for a short while, evildoers that you are.

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٤٧

Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth!

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱرۡكَعُواْ لَا يَرۡكَعُونَ ٤٨

When they are told, ‘Bow down in prayer,’ they do not do so.

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ٤٩

Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth!

فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثِۭ بَعۡدَهُۥ يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٥٠

In what revelation, after this, will they believe?
