بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلْمُرْسَلَٰتِ عُرْفًۭا1

By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit);

فَٱلْعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصْفًۭا2

Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts,

وَٱلنَّٰشِرَٰتِ نَشْرًۭا3

And scatter (things) far and wide;

فَٱلْفَٰرِقَٰتِ فَرْقًۭا4

Then separate them, one from another,

فَٱلْمُلْقِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا5

Then spread abroad a Message,

عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا6

Whether of Justification or of Warning;-

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ7

Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass.

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ8

Then when the stars become dim;

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتْ9

When the heaven is cleft asunder;

وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ10

When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ11

And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);-

لِأَىِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ12

For what Day are these (portents) deferred?

لِيَوْمِ ٱلْفَصْلِ13

For the Day of Sorting out.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ14

And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ15

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ16

Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?

ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ17

So shall We make later (generations) follow them.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ18

Thus do We deal with men of sin.

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ19

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٍۢ مَّهِينٍۢ20

Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?-

فَجَعَلْنَٰهُ فِى قَرَارٍۢ مَّكِينٍ21

The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed,

إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ22

For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)?

فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْقَٰدِرُونَ23

For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things).

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ24

Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth!

أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا25

Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together.

أَحْيَآءًۭ وَأَمْوَٰتًۭا26

The living and the dead,

وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ شَٰمِخَٰتٍۢ وَأَسْقَيْنَٰكُم مَّآءًۭ فُرَاتًۭا27

And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)?

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ28

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

ٱنطَلِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ29

(It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false!

ٱنطَلِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّۢ ذِى ثَلَٰثِ شُعَبٍۢ30

"Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns,

لَّا ظَلِيلٍۢ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ31

"(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze.

إِنَّهَا تَرْمِى بِشَرَرٍۢ كَٱلْقَصْرِ32

"Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts,

كَأَنَّهُۥ جِمَٰلَتٌۭ صُفْرٌۭ33

"As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)."

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ34

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ لَا يَنطِقُونَ35

That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak.

وَلَا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُونَ36

Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas.

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ37

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ۖ جَمَعْنَٰكُمْ وَٱلْأَوَّلِينَ38

That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)!

فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمْ كَيْدٌۭ فَكِيدُونِ39

Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me!

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ40

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى ظِلَٰلٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ41

As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).

وَفَوَٰكِهَ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ42

And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire.

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ43

"Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness).

إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ44

Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good.

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ45

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

كُلُوا۟ وَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُم مُّجْرِمُونَ46

(O ye unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while, for that ye are Sinners.

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ47

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱرْكَعُوا۟ لَا يَرْكَعُونَ48

And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so.

وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ49

Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!

فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثٍۭ بَعْدَهُۥ يُؤْمِنُونَ50

Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?
