Surah Mursalaat: The Emissaries

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

077.001	By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another
077.002	By the raging hurricanes,
077.003	By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive;
077.004	By those who winnow with a winnowing,
077.005	By those who bring down the Reminder,
077.006	To excuse or to warn,
077.007	Surely that which ye are promised will befall.
077.008	So when the stars are put out,
077.009	And when the sky is riven asunder,
077.010	And when the mountains are blown away,
077.011	And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed -
077.012	For what day is the time appointed?
077.013	For the Day of Decision.
077.014	And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! -
077.015	Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
077.016	Destroyed We not the former folk,
077.017	Then caused the latter folk to follow after?
077.018	Thus deal We ever with the guilty.
077.019	Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
077.020	Did We not create you from a base fluid
077.021	Which We laid up in a safe abode
077.022	For a known term?
077.023	Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging!
077.024	Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
077.025	Have We not made the earth a receptacle
077.026	Both for the living and the dead,
077.027	And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein?
077.028	Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
077.029	(It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny;
077.030	Depart unto the shadow falling threefold,
077.031	(Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame.
077.032	Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles,
077.033	(Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue.
077.034	Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
077.035	This is a day wherein they speak not,
077.036	Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses.
077.037	Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
077.038	This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together.
077.039	If now ye have any wit, outwit Me.
077.040	Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
077.041	Lo! those who kept their duty are amid shade and fountains,
077.042	And fruits such as they desire.
077.043	(Unto them it is said:) Eat, drink and welcome, O ye blessed, in return for what ye did.
077.044	Thus do We reward the good.
077.045	Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
077.046	Eat and take your ease (on earth) a little. Lo! ye are guilty.
077.047	Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
077.048	When it is said unto them: Bow down, they bow not down!
077.049	Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
077.050	In what statement, after this, will they believe?

Let us pray (Sura 20, Ayat 114) 'Ya Rabbi Zidni Ilma!' ('O Lord! Increase me in knowledge.') and seek spiritual help (ta'yid) to understand our great faith.
