77. Al-Mursalat

وَٱلۡمُرۡسَلَٰتِ عُرۡفࣰ ا

By the (winds) sent forth in quick succession

فَٱلۡعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصۡفࣰ ا

which then blow tempestuously

وَٱلنَّٰشِرَٰتِ نَشۡرࣰ ا

and raise (clouds) and scatter them around

فَٱلۡفَٰرِقَٰتِ فَرۡقࣰ ا

then winnow them thoroughly

فَٱلۡمُلۡقِيَٰتِ ذِكۡرًا

and then cast (Allah's) remembrance (in people's hearts)

عُذۡرًا أَوۡ نُذۡرًا

to serve as an excuse or a warning

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعࣱ‏

Surely what you are promised shall come to pass

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتۡ

So when the stars are extinguished

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتۡ

and the sky is rent asunder

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ نُسِفَتۡ

and the mountains are blown away

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتۡ

and the appointed time to bring the Messengers together arrives, (then shall the promised event come to pass)

لِأَيِّ يَوۡمٍ أُجِّلَتۡ

To which Day has this task been deferred

لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ

To the Day of Judgement

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ

What do you know what the Day of Judgement is

وَيۡلࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth

أَلَمۡ نُهۡلِكِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Did We not destroy many a nation of the earlier times

ثُمَّ نُتۡبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

And We shall cause those of later times to follow them

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

Thus do We deal with the guilty

وَيۡلࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth

أَلَمۡ نَخۡلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءࣲ مَّهِينࣲ‏

Did We not create you of a mean fluid

فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ فِي قَرَارࣲ مَّكِينٍ

which We then placed in a secure repository

إِلَىٰ قَدَرࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ‏

until an appointed time

فَقَدَرۡنَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡقَٰدِرُونَ

See that We had the power to do so. Great indeed is Our power to do what We will

وَيۡلࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ كِفَاتًا

Did We not make the earth a receptacle

أَحۡيَآءࣰ وَأَمۡوَٰتࣰ ا

for the living and the dead

وَجَعَلۡنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِيَ شَٰمِخَٰتࣲ وَأَسۡقَيۡنَٰكُم مَّآءࣰ فُرَاتࣰ ا

and did We not firmly fix towering mountains on it and give you sweet water to drink

وَيۡلࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth

ٱنطَلِقُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false

ٱنطَلِقُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ ظِلࣲّ ذِي ثَلَٰثِ شُعَبࣲ‏

proceed towards the three-pronged shadow

لَّا ظَلِيلࣲ وَلَا يُغۡنِي مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ

which neither provides (cooling) shade nor protection against the flames

إِنَّهَا تَرۡمِي بِشَرَرࣲ كَٱلۡقَصۡرِ

it indeed throws up sparks like castles

كَأَنَّهُۥ جِمَٰلَتࣱ صُفۡرࣱ‏

which seem as though they are yellow-coloured camels

وَيۡلࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth

هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ لَا يَنطِقُونَ

That will be the Day on which they will not (be able to) utter a word

وَلَا يُؤۡذَنُ لَهُمۡ فَيَعۡتَذِرُونَ

nor will they be allowed to proffer excuses

وَيۡلࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth

هَٰذَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِۖ جَمَعۡنَٰكُمۡ وَٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

That is the Day of Judgement on which We have assembled you as well as all those who went before you

فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمۡ كَيۡدࣱ فَكِيدُونِ

So if you have any ploy, try it against Me

وَيۡلࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth

إِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي ظِلَٰلࣲ وَعُيُونࣲ‏

Behold, today the God-fearing will be amidst shades and springs

وَفَوَٰكِهَ مِمَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ

and the fruits that they desire (will be ready at hand)

كُلُواْ وَٱشۡرَبُواْ هَنِيٓـَٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

Eat and drink and may every joy attend you as a reward for your deeds

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Thus do We reward those that do good

وَيۡلࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth

كُلُواْ وَتَمَتَّعُواْ قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُم مُّجۡرِمُونَ

Eat and enjoy yourselves for a while. Surely you are evil-doers

وَيۡلࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱرۡكَعُواْ لَا يَرۡكَعُونَ

When it is said to them: “Bow down (before Allah),” they do not bow down

وَيۡلࣱ يَوۡمَئِذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth

فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثِۭ بَعۡدَهُۥ يُؤۡمِنُونَ

In what discourse after this (Qur'an) will they, then, believe
