The Emissaries

المرسلات

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1

وَٱلْمُرْسَلَـٰتِ عُرْفًا ١

By those ˹winds˺ sent forth successively

2

فَٱلْعَـٰصِفَـٰتِ عَصْفًا ٢

and those blowing violently

3

وَٱلنَّـٰشِرَٲتِ نَشْرًا ٣

and those scattering ˹rainclouds˺ widely

4

فَٱلْفَـٰرِقَـٰتِ فَرْقًا ٤

And ˹by˺ those ˹angels˺ fully distinguishing ˹truth from falsehood˺

5

فَٱلْمُلْقِيَـٰتِ ذِكْرًا ٥

and those delivering revelation

6

عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا ٦

ending excuses and giving warnings

7

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٲقِعٌ ٧

Surely, what you are promised will come to pass

8

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ ٨

So when the stars are put out

9

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتْ ٩

and the sky is torn apart

10

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ ١٠

and the mountains are blown away

11

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ ١١

and the messengers’ time ˹to testify˺ comes up—

12

لِأَىِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ ١٢

for which Day has all this been set

13

لِيَوْمِ ٱلْفَصْلِ ١٣

For the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision

14

وَمَآ أَدْرَٮٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ١٤

And what will make you realize what the Day of Decision is

15

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٥

Woe on that Day to the deniers

16

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ١٦

Did We not destroy earlier disbelievers

17

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ ٱلْأَخِرِينَ ١٧

And We will make the later disbelievers follow them

18

كَذَٲلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ١٨

This is how We deal with the wicked

19

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٩

Woe on that Day to the deniers

أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٍ مَّهِينٍ ٢٠

Did We not create you from a humble fluid

21

فَجَعَلْنَـٰهُ فِى قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ ٢١

placing it in a secure place

22

إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ ٢٢

until an appointed time

23

فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْقَـٰدِرُونَ ٢٣

We ˹perfectly˺ ordained ˹its development˺. How excellent are We in doing so

24

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٢٤

Woe on that Day to the deniers

Have We not made the earth a lodging

26

أَحْيَآءً وَأَمْوَٲتًا ٢٦

for the living and the dead

27

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٲسِىَ شَـٰمِخَـٰتٍ وَأَسْقَيْنَـٰكُم مَّآءً فُرَاتًا ٢٧

and placed upon it towering, firm mountains, and given you fresh water to drink

28

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٢٨

Woe on that Day to the deniers

29

ٱنطَلِقُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٩

˹The disbelievers will be told,˺ “Proceed into that ˹Fire˺ which you used to deny

30

ٱنطَلِقُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّ ذِى ثَلَـٰثِ شُعَبٍ ٣٠

Proceed into the shade ˹of smoke˺ which rises in three columns

31

لَّا ظَلِيلٍ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ ٣١

providing neither coolness nor shelter from the flames

32

إِنَّهَا تَرْمِى بِشَرَرٍ كَٱلْقَصْرِ ٣٢

Indeed, it hurls sparks ˹as big˺ as huge castles

33

كَأَنَّهُۥ جِمَـٰلَتٌ صُفْرٌ ٣٣

and ˹as dark˺ as black camels.”

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٣٤

˹They will be told by Allah,˺ “This is the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision: We have gathered you along with earlier disbelievers ˹for punishment˺

39

فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمْ كَيْدٌ فَكِيدُونِ ٣٩

47

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٤٧

Woe on that Day to the deniers

48

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱرْكَعُواْ لَا يَرْكَعُونَ ٤٨

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

49

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٤٩

Woe on that Day to the deniers

50

فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثِۭ بَعْدَهُۥ يُؤْمِنُونَ ٥٠
