بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا1
By the [winds] sent forth in swift succession
فَالْعَاصِفَاتِ عَصْفًا2
violently storming
وَالنَّاشِرَاتِ نَشْرًا3
scattering far and wide
فَالْفَارِقَاتِ فَرْقًا4
separating forcefully
فَالْمُلْقِيَاتِ ذِكْرًا5
delivering a reminder
عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا6
as a proof or a warning
إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَاقِعٌ7
what you are promised will come to pass
فَإِذَا النُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ8
When the stars are dimmed
وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ فُرِجَتْ9
and the sky is torn apart
وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ10
when the mountains are turned to dust
وَإِذَا الرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ11
and the messengers given their appointed time––
لِأَيِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ12
for what Day has all this been set
لِيَوْمِ الْفَصْلِ13
The Day of Decision
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ14
What will explain to you what the Day of Decision is
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ15
Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth
أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ الْأَوَّلِينَ16
Did We not destroy the first [of them]
ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ الْآخِرِينَ17
We shall make the last follow them
كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ18
this is how We deal with the guilty
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ19
Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth
أَلَمْ نَخْلُقْكُمْ مِنْ مَاءٍ مَهِينٍ20
Did We not make you from an underrated fluid
فَجَعَلْنَاهُ فِي قَرَارٍ مَكِينٍ21
which We housed in a safe lodging
إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍ مَعْلُومٍ22
for a determined period
فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ الْقَادِرُونَ23
We determine [it]: how excellently We determine
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ24
Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا25
Did We not make the earth a home
أَحْيَاءً وَأَمْوَاتًا26
for the living and the dead
وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ شَامِخَاتٍ وَأَسْقَيْنَاكُمْ مَاءً فُرَاتًا27
Did We not place firm, lofty mountains on it and provide you with sweet water
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ28
Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth
انْطَلِقُوا إِلَىٰ مَا كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ29
They will be told, ‘Go to that which you used to deny
انْطَلِقُوا إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّ ذِي ثَلَاثِ شُعَبٍ30
Go to a shadow of smoke!’ It rises in three columns
لَا ظَلِيلٍ وَلَا يُغْنِي مِنَ اللَّهَبِ31
no shade does it give, nor relief from the flame
إِنَّهَا تَرْمِي بِشَرَرٍ كَالْقَصْرِ32
it shoots out sparks as large as treetrunks
كَأَنَّهُ جِمَالَتٌ صُفْرٌ33
and as bright as copper
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ34
Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth
هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ لَا يَنْطِقُونَ35
On that Day they will be speechless
وَلَا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُونَ36
and they will be given no chance to offer any excuses
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ37
Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth
هَـٰذَا يَوْمُ الْفَصْلِ ۖ جَمَعْنَاكُمْ وَالْأَوَّلِينَ38
[They will be told], ‘This is the Day of Decision: We have gathered you and earlier generations
فَإِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ كَيْدٌ فَكِيدُونِ39
If you have any plots against Me, try them now.’
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ40
Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth
إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي ظِلَالٍ وَعُيُونٍ41
But those who took heed of God will enjoy cool shade, springs
وَفَوَاكِهَ مِمَّا يَشْتَهُونَ42
and any fruit they desire
كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيئًا بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ43
[they will be told], ‘Eat and drink to your hearts’ content as a reward for your deeds
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ44
this is how We reward those who do good.’
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ45
Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth
كُلُوا وَتَمَتَّعُوا قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُمْ مُجْرِمُونَ46
[You may] eat and enjoy yourselves for a short while, evildoers that you are
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ47
Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ارْكَعُوا لَا يَرْكَعُونَ48
When they are told, ‘Bow down in prayer,’ they do not do so
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ49
Woe, on that Day, to those who denied the truth
فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ50
In what revelation, after this, will they believe
