المرسلات
Al-Mursalat
Those Sent Forth
بسم ٱلله ٱلرحمن ٱلرحيم
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
By those sent forth in succession, and those scattering violently, and those deploying far and wide, and those separating distinctly, and those addressing a reminder, as justification or as warning: what you are promised will surely befall.
وٱلمرسلت عرفا فٱلعصفت عصفا وٱلنشرت نشرا فٱلفرقت فرقا فٱلملقيت ذكرا عذرا أو نذرا إنما توعدون لوقع
So when the stars are obliterated, and when the sky is cracked open, and when the mountains are blasted away, and when the messengers' time is set — for what Day were they adjourned? For the Day of Separation.
فإذا ٱلنجوم طمست وإذا ٱلسمآء فرجت وإذا ٱلجبال نسفت وإذا ٱلرسل أقتت لأى يوم أجلت ليوم ٱلفصل
And what will give you an idea of what the Day of Separation is?
ومآ أدرىك ما يوم ٱلفصل
Woe, that Day, to the deniers!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Did We not annihilate the former peoples?
ألم نهلك ٱلأولين
Then We will make the later ones follow them.
ثم نتبعهم ٱلءاخرين
Thus do We deal with the severed.
كذلك نفعل بٱلمجرمين
Woe, that Day, to the deniers!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Did We not create you from a despised water? Then We placed it in a secure and stable place, until a known measure; We determined —
ألم نخلقكم من مآء مهين فجعلنه في قرار مكين إلى قدر معلوم فقدرنا
and excellent are We at determining!
فنعم ٱلقدرون
Woe, that Day, to the deniers!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Have We not made the earth a receptacle for the living and the dead? And placed therein firm and lofty anchors, and given you fresh water to drink?
ألم نجعل ٱلأرض كفاتا أحيآء وأموتا وجعلنا فيها روسي شمخت وأسقينكم مآء فراتا
Woe, that Day, to the deniers!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
"Depart to that which you used to deny! Depart to a shadow of three branches, neither shading nor availing against the flame."
ٱنطلقوا إلى ما كنتم به تكذبون ٱنطلقوا إلى ظل ذي ثلث شعب لا ظليل ولا يغني من ٱللهب
It throws up sparks as huge as palaces, as though they were yellow camels.
إنها ترمي بشرر كٱلقصر كأنه جملت صفر
Woe, that Day, to the deniers!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
This is the Day they will utter nothing, nor will they be given permission to make excuses.
هذا يوم لا ينطقون ولا يؤذن لهم فيعتذرون
Woe, that Day, to the deniers!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
This is the Day of Separation; We have brought together you and the former peoples. So if you have a scheme, then scheme against Me!
هذا يوم ٱلفصل جمعنكم وٱلأولين فإن كان لكم كيد فكيدون
Woe, that Day, to the deniers!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
Indeed, those who guarded themselves will be amid shades and springs, and savoury fruits of whatever they desire:
إن ٱلمتقين في ظلل وعيون وفوكه مما يشتهون
"Eat and drink
كلوا وٱشربوا
pleasantly, for what you used to do."
هنيا بما كنتم تعملون
Thus do We recompense those who do good.
إنا كذلك نجزي ٱلمحسنين
Woe, that Day, to the deniers!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
"Eat and enjoy yourselves a little, for you are severed."
كلوا وتمتعوا قليلا إنكم مجرمون
Woe, that Day, to the deniers!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
And when it is said to them, "Kneel," they do not kneel.
وإذا قيل لهم ٱركعوا لا يركعون
Woe, that Day, to the deniers!
ويل يومئذ للمكذبين
In what discourse, after this one, will they then believe?
فبأى حديث بعده يؤمنون
