Surah 77. Al-Moersalaat — Those Sent Forth

By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit);

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلْمُرْسَلَٰتِ عُرْفًا

Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts,

فَٱلْعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصْفًا

And scatter (things) far and wide;

وَٱلنَّٰشِرَٰتِ نَشْرًا

Then separate them, one from another,

فَٱلْفَٰرِقَٰتِ فَرْقًا

Then spread abroad a Message,

فَٱلْمُلْقِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا

Whether of Justification or of Warning;-

عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا

Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass.

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٌ

Then when the stars become dim;

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ

When the heaven is cleft asunder;

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتْ

When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ

And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);-

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ

For what Day are these (portents) deferred?

لِأَىِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ

For the Day of Sorting out.

لِيَوْمِ ٱلْفَصْلِ

And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

So shall We make later (generations) follow them.

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

Thus do We deal with men of sin.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?-

أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٍ مَّهِينٍ

The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed,

فَجَعَلْنَٰهُ فِى قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ

For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)?

إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things).

فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْقَٰدِرُونَ

Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth!

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together.

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا

The living and the dead,

أَحْيَآءً وَأَمْوَٰتًا

And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)?

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ شَٰمِخَٰتٍ وَأَسْقَيْنَٰكُم مَّآءً فُرَاتًا

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

(It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false!"

ٱنطَلِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

"Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns,"

ٱنطَلِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّ ذِى ثَلَٰثِ شُعَبٍ

"(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze."

لَّا ظَلِيلٍ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ

"Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts,"

إِنَّهَا تَرْمِى بِشَرَرٍ كَٱلْقَصْرِ

"As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)."

كَأَنَّهُۥ جِمَٰلَتٌ صُفْرٌ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak.

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ لَا يَنطِقُونَ

Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas.

وَلَا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُونَ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)!

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ جَمَعْنَٰكُمْ وَٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me!

فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمْ كَيْدٌ فَكِيدُونِ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى ظِلَٰلٍ وَعُيُونٍ

And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire.

وَفَوَٰكِهَ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ

"Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness)."

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good.

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

(O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners.

كُلُوا۟ وَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُم مُّجْرِمُونَ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱرْكَعُوا۟ لَا يَرْكَعُونَ

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?

فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثٍۭ بَعْدَهُۥ يُؤْمِنُونَ
