Al-Mursalaat

وَٱلْمُرْسَلَـٰتِ عُرْفًا

By those ˹winds˺ sent forth successively

فَٱلْعَـٰصِفَـٰتِ عَصْفًا

and those blowing violently

وَٱلنَّـٰشِرَٰتِ نَشْرًا

and those scattering ˹rainclouds˺ widely!

فَٱلْفَـٰرِقَـٰتِ فَرْقًا

And ˹by˺ those ˹angels˺ fully distinguishing ˹truth from falsehood˺

فَٱلْمُلْقِيَـٰتِ ذِكْرًا

and those delivering revelation

عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا

ending excuses and giving warnings.

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٌ

Surely, what you are promised will come to pass.

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ

So when the stars are put out

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتْ

and the sky is torn apart

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ

and the mountains are blown away

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ

and the messengers’ time ˹to testify˺ comes up—

لِأَىِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ

for which Day has all this been set?

لِيَوْمِ ٱلْفَصْلِ

For the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision!

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ

And what will make you realize what the Day of Decision is?

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Did We not destroy earlier disbelievers?

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

And We will make the later disbelievers follow them.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

This is how We deal with the wicked.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٍ مَّهِينٍ

Did We not create you from a humble fluid

فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ فِى قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ

placing it in a secure place

إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

until an appointed time?

فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْقَـٰدِرُونَ

We ˹perfectly˺ ordained ˹its development˺. How excellent are We in doing so!

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا

Have We not made the earth a lodging

أَحْيَآءً وَأَمْوَٰتًا

for the living and the dead

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ شَـٰمِخَـٰتٍ وَأَسْقَيْنَـٰكُم مَّآءً فُرَاتًا

and placed upon it towering, firm mountains, and given you fresh water to drink?

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

ٱنطَلِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

˹The disbelievers will be told,˺ “Proceed into that ˹Fire˺ which you used to deny!

ٱنطَلِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّ ذِى ثَلَـٰثِ شُعَبٍ

Proceed into the shade ˹of smoke˺ which rises in three columns

لَّا ظَلِيلٍ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ

providing neither coolness nor shelter from the flames.

إِنَّهَا تَرْمِى بِشَرَرٍ كَٱلْقَصْرِ

Indeed, it hurls sparks ˹as big˺ as huge castles

كَأَنَّهُۥ جِمَـٰلَتٌ صُفْرٌ

and ˹as dark˺ as black camels.”

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ لَا يَنطِقُونَ

On that Day they will not ˹be in a position to˺ speak

وَلَا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُونَ

nor will they be permitted to offer excuses.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ۖ جَمَعْنَـٰكُمْ وَٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

˹They will be told by Allah,˺ “This is the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision: We have gathered you along with earlier disbelievers ˹for punishment˺.

فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمْ كَيْدٌ فَكِيدُونِ

So if you have a scheme ˹to save yourselves˺, then use it against Me.”

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى ظِلَـٰلٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Indeed, the righteous will be amid ˹cool˺ shade and springs

وَفَوَٰكِهَ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

and any fruit they desire.

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

˹They will be told,˺ “Eat and drink happily for what you used to do.”

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Surely this is how We reward the good-doers.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

˹But˺ woe on that Day to the deniers!

كُلُوا۟ وَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُم مُّجْرِمُونَ

“Eat and enjoy yourselves for a little while, ˹for˺ you are truly wicked.”

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱرْكَعُوا۟ لَا يَرْكَعُونَ

When it is said to them, “Bow down ˹before Allah,” they do not bow.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to the deniers!

فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثٍۭ بَعْدَهُۥ يُؤْمِنُونَ

So what message after this ˹Quran˺ would they believe in?
