Surah Al-Mursalaat
The Emissaries · Meccan · 50 Ayahs
وَالْمُرْسَلٰتِ عُرْفًا ١ۙ
1By the [angelic] emissaries sent successively,
فَالْعٰصِفٰتِ عَصْفًا ٢ۙ
2by those who sweep along like gale,
وَّالنّٰشِرٰتِ نَشْرًا ٣ۙ
3by those who publish [the Divine messages] far and wide,
فَالْفٰرِقٰتِ فَرْقًا ٤ۙ
4by those who separate [the truth from falsehood] distinctly,
فَالْمُلْقِيٰتِ ذِكْرًا ٥ۙ
5by those who inspire [God’s] remembrance,
عُذْرًا اَوْ نُذْرًا ٦ۙ
6as exemption or warning:
اِنَّمَا تُوْعَدُوْنَ لَوَاقِعٌ ٧ؕ
7what you are promised will surely befall.
فَاِذَا النُّجُوْمُ طُمِسَتْ ٨ۙ
8When the stars are blotted out
وَاِذَا السَّمَا࢜ءُ فُرِجَتْ ٩ۙ
9and the sky is cleft,
وَاِذَا الْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ ١٠ۙ
10when the mountains are scattered [like dust]
وَاِذَا الرُّسُلُ اُقِّتَتْ ١١ؕ
11and time is set for the apostles [to bear witness]
لِاَيِّ يَوْمٍ اُجِّلَتْ ١٢ؕ
12—for what day has [all] that been set [to occur]?
لِيَوْمِ الْفَصْلِ ١٣ۚ
13For the Day of Judgement!
وَمَا͏ٓ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ ١٤ؕ
14And what will show you what is the Day of Judgement!?
وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ ١٥
15Woe to the deniers on that day!
اَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ١٦ؕ
16Did We not destroy the former generations,
ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ الْاٰخِرِيْنَ ١٧
17[and] then made the latter ones follow them?
كَذٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِيْنَ ١٨
18That is how We deal with the guilty.
وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ ١٩
19Woe to the deniers on that day!
اَلَمْ نَخْلُقْكُّمْ مِّنْ مَّا࢜ءٍ مَّهِيْنٍ ٢٠ۙ
20Have We not created you from a base fluid,
فَجَعَلْنٰهُ فِيْ قَرَارٍ مَّكِيْنٍ ٢١ۙ
21[and] then lodged it in a secure abode
اِلٰي قَدَرٍ مَّعْلُوْمٍ ٢٢ۙ
22until a known span [of time]?
فَقَدَرْنَاࣗۖ فَنِعْمَ الْقٰدِرُوْنَ ٢٣
23Then We determined; and how excellent determiners We are!
وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ ٢٤
24Woe to the deniers on that day!
اَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْاَرْضَ كِفَاتًا ٢٥ۙ
25Have We not made the earth a receptacle
اَحْيَا࢜ءً وَّاَمْوَاتًا ٢٦ۙ
26for the living and the dead,
وَّجَعَلْنَا فِيْهَا رَوَاسِيَ شٰمِخٰتٍ وَّاَسْقَيْنٰكُمْ مَّا࢜ءً فُرَاتًا ٢٧ؕ
27and set in it lofty [and] firm mountains, and given you agreeable water to drink?
وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ ٢٨
28Woe to the deniers on that day!
اِنْطَلِقُوْٓا اِلٰي مَا كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تُكَذِّبُوْنَ ٢٩ۚ
29[The faithless will be told:] ‘Proceed toward what you used to deny!
اِنْطَلِقُوْٓا اِلٰي ظِلٍّ ذِيْ ثَلٰثِ شُعَبٍ ٣٠ۙ
30Proceed toward the triple-forked shadow,
لَّا ظَلِيْلٍ وَّلَا يُغْنِيْ مِنَ اللَّهَبِ ٣١ؕ
31neither shady nor of any avail against the flames.
اِنَّهَا تَرْمِيْ بِشَرَرٍ كَالْقَصْرِ ٣٢ۚ
32Indeed it throws up [giant] sparks like castles,
كَاَنَّهٗ جِمٰلَتٌ صُفْرٌ ٣٣ؕ
33[bright] like yellow camels.
وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ ٣٤
34Woe to the deniers on that day!
هٰذَا يَوْمُ لَا يَنْطِقُوْنَ ٣٥ۙ
35This is a day wherein they will not speak,
وَلَا يُو͏ٔ͏ْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُوْنَ ٣٦
36nor will they be permitted to offer excuses.
وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ ٣٧
37Woe to the deniers on that day!
هٰذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِۚ جَمَعْنٰكُمْ وَالْاَوَّلِيْنَ ٣٨
38‘This is the Day of Judgement. We have brought you together with the former generations.
فَاِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ كَيْدٌ فَكِيْدُوْنِ ٣٩
39If you have any stratagems [left], try them out against Me!’
وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ ٤٠ࣖ
40Woe to the deniers on that day!
اِنَّ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ فِيْ ظِلٰلٍ وَّعُيُوْنٍ ٤١ۙ
41Indeed the Godwary will be amid shades and springs
وَّفَوَاكِهَ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُوْنَ ٤٢ؕ
42and [enjoying] such fruits as they desire.
كُلُوْا وَاشْرَبُوْا هَنِيْ࢜ـًٔاۢ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ٤٣
43[They will be told:] ‘Enjoy your food and drink, [a reward] for what you used to do.
اِنَّا كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ ٤٤
44Thus do We reward the virtuous.’
وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ ٤٥
45Woe to the deniers on that day!
كُلُوْا وَتَمَتَّعُوْا قَلِيْلًا اِنَّكُمْ مُّجْرِمُوْنَ ٤٦
46‘Eat and enjoy a little! You are indeed guilty.’
وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ ٤٧
47Woe to the deniers on that day!
وَاِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمُ ارْكَعُوْا لَا يَرْكَعُوْنَ ٤٨
48When they are told, ‘Bow down [in prayer],’ they do not bow down!
وَيْلٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ ٤٩
49Woe to the deniers on that day!
فَبِاَيِّ حَدِيْثٍۭ بَعْدَهٗ يُو͏ٔ͏ْمِنُوْنَ ٥٠ࣖ
50So what discourse will they believe after this?
