Surah The emissaries [Al-Mursalat] Ayah 50 Location Maccah Number 77

وَٱلْمُرْسَلَٰتِ عُرْفًۭا ﴿١﴾

By the loosed ones successively

فَٱلْعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصْفًۭا ﴿٢﴾

storming tempestuously

وَٱلنَّٰشِرَٰتِ نَشْرًۭا ﴿٣﴾

by the scatterers scattering

فَٱلْفَٰرِقَٰتِ فَرْقًۭا ﴿٤﴾

and the severally severing

فَٱلْمُلْقِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا ﴿٥﴾

and those hurling a reminder

عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا ﴿٦﴾

excusing or warning,

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ ﴿٧﴾

surely that which you are promised is about to fall!

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ ﴿٨﴾

When the stars shall be extinguished,

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتْ ﴿٩﴾

when heaven shall be split

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ ﴿١٠﴾

when the mountains shall be scattered

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ ﴿١١﴾

and when the Messengers' time is set,

لِأَىِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ ﴿١٢﴾

to what day shall they be delayed?

لِيَوْمِ ٱلْفَصْلِ ﴿١٣﴾

To the Day of Decision.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ﴿١٤﴾

And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision?

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿١٥﴾

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿١٦﴾

Did We not destroy the ancients,

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ ﴿١٧﴾

and then follow them with the later folk?

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿١٨﴾

So We serve the sinners.

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿١٩﴾

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!

أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٍۢ مَّهِينٍۢ ﴿٢٠﴾

Did We not create you of a mean water,

فَجَعَلْنَٰهُ فِى قَرَارٍۢ مَّكِينٍ ﴿٢١﴾

that We laid within a sure lodging

إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ ﴿٢٢﴾

till a known term decreed?

فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْقَٰدِرُونَ ﴿٢٣﴾

We determined; excellent determiners are We.

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٢٤﴾

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا ﴿٢٥﴾

Made We not the earth to be a housing

أَحْيَآءًۭ وَأَمْوَٰتًۭا ﴿٢٦﴾

for the living and for the dead?

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ شَٰمِخَٰتٍۢ وَأَسْقَيْنَٰكُم مَّآءًۭ فُرَاتًۭا ﴿٢٧﴾

Set We not therein soaring mountains? Sated you with sweetest water?

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٢٨﴾

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!

ٱنطَلِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿٢٩﴾

Depart to that you cried was lies!

ٱنطَلِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّۢ ذِى ثَلَٰثِ شُعَبٍۢ ﴿٣٠﴾

Depart to a triple-massing shadow

لَّا ظَلِيلٍۢ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ ﴿٣١﴾

unshading against the blazing flame

إِنَّهَا تَرْمِى بِشَرَرٍۢ كَٱلْقَصْرِ ﴿٣٢﴾

that shoots sparks like dry faggots,

كَأَنَّهُۥ جِمَٰلَتٌۭ صُفْرٌۭ ﴿٣٣﴾

sparks like to golden herds.

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٣٤﴾

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ لَا يَنطِقُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾

This is the day they shall not speak

وَلَا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُونَ ﴿٣٦﴾

neither be given leave, and excuse themselves.

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٣٧﴾

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ۖ جَمَعْنَٰكُمْ وَٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٣٨﴾

'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients;

فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمْ كَيْدٌۭ فَكِيدُونِ ﴿٣٩﴾

if you have a trick, try you now to trick Me!'

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٤٠﴾

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى ظِلَٰلٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ ﴿٤١﴾

Truly the godfearing shall dwell amid shades and fountains,

وَفَوَٰكِهَ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ ﴿٤٢﴾

and such fruits as their hearts desire:

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾

'Eat and drink, with wholesome appetite, for that you were working.'

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿٤٤﴾

Even so do We recompense the good-doers.

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٤٥﴾

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!

كُلُوا۟ وَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُم مُّجْرِمُونَ ﴿٤٦﴾

'Eat and take your joy a little; you are sinners!'

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٤٧﴾

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱرْكَعُوا۟ لَا يَرْكَعُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾

When it is said to them, 'Prostrate yourselves!' they prostrate not.

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ﴿٤٩﴾

Woe that day unto those who cry it lies!

فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثٍۭ بَعْدَهُۥ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٥٠﴾

In what discourse after this will they believe?
