Holy Quran Verses from Yusufali's Translation

Surah Mursalaat: The Emissaries

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

077.001	By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit);
077.002	Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts,
077.003	And scatter (things) far and wide;
077.004	Then separate them, one from another,
077.005	Then spread abroad a Message,
077.006	Whether of Justification or of Warning;-
077.007	Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass.
077.008	Then when the stars become dim;
077.009	When the heaven is cleft asunder;
077.010	When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;
077.011	And when the apostles are (all) appointed a time (to collect);-
077.012	For what Day are these (portents) deferred?
077.013	For the Day of Sorting out.
077.014	And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?
077.015	Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
077.016	Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?
077.017	So shall We make later (generations) follow them.
077.018	Thus do We deal with men of sin.
077.019	Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
077.020	Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?-
077.021	The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed,
077.022	For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)?
077.023	For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things).
077.024	Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth!
077.025	Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together.
077.026	The living and the dead,
077.027	And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)?
077.028	Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
077.029	(It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false!
077.030	"Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns,
077.031	"(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze.
077.032	"Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts,
077.033	"As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)."
077.034	Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
077.035	That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak.
077.036	Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas.
077.037	Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
077.038	That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)!
077.039	Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me!
077.040	Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
077.041	As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).
077.042	And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire.
077.043	"Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness).
077.044	Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good.
077.045	Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
077.046	(O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners.
077.047	Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
077.048	And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so.
077.049	Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
077.050	Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?

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.
