[to The Opening]


Surah 77.  Al-Mursalat

In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful

1.  By the emissary winds, one after another

2.  By the raging hurricanes,

3.  By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive;

4.  By those who winnow with a winnowing,

5.  By those who bring down the Reminder,

6.  To excuse or to warn,

7.  Surely that which you are promised will befall.

8.  So when the stars are put out,

9.  And when the sky is riven asunder,

10.  And when the mountains are blown away,

11.  And when the messengers are brought to their time appointed

12.  For what day is the time appointed?

13.  For the Day of Decision.

14.  And what will convey to you what the Day of Decision is!

15.  Woe to the repudiators on that day!

16.  Destroyed We not the former folk,

17.  Then caused the latter folk to follow after?

18.  Thus deal We ever with the guilty.

19.  Woe to the repudiators on that day!

20.  Did We not create you from a base fluid

21.  Which We laid up in a safe home

22.  For a known term?

23.  Thus We arranged.  How excellent is Our arranging!

24.  Woe to the repudiators on that day!

25.  Have We not made the earth a receptacle

26.  Both for the living and the dead,

27.  And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein?

28.  Woe to the repudiators on that day!

29.  Depart to that which you used to deny;

30.  Depart to the shadow falling threefold.

31.  no relief nor shelter from the flame.

32.  Surely it throws up sparks like the castles,

33.  as it might be camels of bright yellow hue.

34.  Woe to the repudiators on that day!

35.  This is a day wherein they speak not,

36.  Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses.

37.  Woe to the repudiators on that day!

38.  This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together.

39.  If now you have any wit, outwit Me.

40.  Woe to the repudiators on that day!
