Surah 77. Surah al Mursalat (Messages Sent Forth)
Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem
In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
- By the winds, as they blow gently, one after the other,
- By the winds, as they become violent;
- By the winds, as they carry the clouds;
- By the winds, as they break them up,
- By the Angels, as they bring the Word—
- To complete the evidence or to warn.
- Indeed, what is promised to you shall transpire.
- So, when the stars are blanked out,
- And when the sky is rent asunder,
- And the mountains are scattered,
- And when the Messengers are assembled at the appointed Time,
- For what Day is it set?
- (It is set for) The Judgment Day.
- And what will make you understand what the Judgment Day is?
- Woe that Day to those who deny!
- Did We not destroy the ancient (civilizations)?
- So shall We make the later ones follow them,
- That is how We deal with the culpable,
- Woe that Day to those who deny!
- Did We not create you from a despised fluid?
- Then did We place it in a secure location (the womb),
- For a period determined,
- And We determined—And how bountiful are We in Our reckoning!
- Woe that Day to those who deny!
- Have We not made the earth a vessel,
- For the living and the dead?
- And erected therein tall mountains,
And quenched your thirst with sweet water? - Woe that Day to those who deny!
- Move on (it will be the Command that Day).
Towards Him Whom you used to deny; - Move on, towards a dark shadow that has three branches—
- Not a deep shadow, and of no use against the Fire.
- Indeed, it will shoot forth flames (rising high) like fortresses,
- As if they were yellow camels;
- Woe that Day to those who deny!
- That Day they shall not speak,
- Nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses;
- Woe that Day to those who deny!
- This is the Judgment Day;
We have assembled you together as well as the people of earlier times; - And if you have a plan, then try the plan on Me!
- Woe that Day to those who deny!
- Indeed, those who are conscious of Allah
Shall be in shades (of comfort) and springs (of Divine grace), - And fruits therein (from Divine grace),
Of whatever they desire. - Eat and drink at your pleasure,
For what you used to do. - Verily! Such is the reward for those who do good!
- Woe that Day to those who deny!
- Eat and indulge a little (in this world),
Verily, (O you) culpable ones! - Woe that Day to those who deny!
- And when it is said to them to bow down (before Allah),
They bow not. - Woe that Day to those who deny!
- Then, in what words will they believe after this (Word)?
