Surah 77 The Emissaries - Al-Mursalat, 50 verses (Makka)
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to
man's profit);
- Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts,
- And scatter (things) far and wide;
- Then separate them, one from another,
- Then spread abroad a Message,
- Whether of Justification or of Warning;-
- Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass.
- Then when the stars become dim;
- When the heaven is cleft asunder;
- When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as
dust;
- And when the apostles are (all) appointed a time
(to collect);-
- For what Day are these (portents) deferred?
- For the Day of Sorting out.
- And what will explain to thee what is the Day of
Sorting out?
- Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
- Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?
- So shall We make later (generations) follow them.
- Thus do We deal with men of sin.
- Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
- Have We not created you from a fluid (held)
despicable?-
- The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly
fixed,
- For a period (of gestation), determined (according
to need)?
- For We do determine (according to need); for We are
the best to determine (things).
- Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth!
- Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw
together.
- The living and the dead,
- And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in
stature); and provided for you water sweet (and
wholesome)?
- Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
- (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used
to reject as false!
- "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in
three columns,
- "(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no
use against the fierce Blaze.
- "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts,
- "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels
(marching swiftly)."
- Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
- That will be a Day when they shall not be able to
speak.
- Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas.
- Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
- That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather
you together and those before (you)!
- Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against
Me!
- Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
- As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool)
shades and springs (of water).
- And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire.
- "Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for
that ye worked (Righteousness).
- Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good.
- Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
- (O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a
little while, for that ye are Sinners.
- Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
- And when it is said to them, "Prostrate
yourselves!" they do not so.
- Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
- Then what Message, after that, will they believe
in?
