Al-Mursalât

وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا ١

By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another

فَالْعَاصِفَاتِ عَصْفًا ٢

By the raging hurricanes,

وَالنَّاشِرَاتِ نَشْرًا ٣

By those which cause earth’s vegetation to revive;

فَالْفَارِقَاتِ فَرْقًا ٤

By those who winnow with a winnowing,

فَالْمُلْقِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا ٥

By those who bring down the Reminder,

عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا ٦

To excuse or to warn,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَاقِعٌ ٧

Surely that which ye are promised will befall.

فَإِذَا النُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ ٨

So when the stars are put out,

وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ فُرِجَتْ ٩

And when the sky is riven asunder,

وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ ١٠

And when the mountains are blown away,

وَإِذَا الرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ ١١

And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed -

لِأَيِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ ١٢

For what day is the time appointed ?

لِيَوْمِ الْفَصْلِ ١٣

For the Day of Decision.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ ١٤

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

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٥

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ الْأَوَّلِينَ ١٦

Destroyed We not the former folk,

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ الْآخِرِينَ ١٧

Then caused the latter folk to follow after ?

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ ١٨

Thus deal We ever with the guilty.

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٩

Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّاءٍ مَّهِينٍ ٢٠

Did We not create you from a base fluid
