Al-Mursalât

(1)By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allâh) sent forth one after another.

(2)And by the winds that blow violently,

(3)And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain;

(4)And by the Verses (of the Qur'ân) that separate the right from the wrong.

(5)And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers,

(6)To cut off all excuses or to warn;

(7)Surely, what you are promised must come to pass.

(8)Then when the stars lose their lights;

(9)And when the heaven is cleft asunder;

(10)And when the mountains are blown away;

(11)And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed;

(12)For what Day are these signs postponed?

(13)For the Day of sorting out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell).

(14)And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out?

(15)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(16)Did We not destroy the ancients?

(17)So shall We make later generations to follow them.

(18)Thus do We deal with the Mujrimûn (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.)!

(19)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(20)Did We not create you from a worthless water (semen, etc.)?

(21)Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb),

(22)For a known period (determined by gestation)?

(23)So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things).

(24)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(25)Have We not made the earth a receptacle?

(26)For the living and the dead.

(27)And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water?

(28)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(29)(It will be said to the disbelievers): "Depart you to that which you used to deny!

(30)"Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) in three columns,

(31)"Neither shading, nor of any use against the fierce flame of the Fire."

(32)Verily! It (Hell) throws sparks (huge) as Al-Qasr [a fort or a Qasr (huge log of wood)],

(33)As if they were Jimâlatun Sufr (yellow camels or bundles of ropes)."

(34)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(35)That will be a Day when they shall not speak (during some part of it),

(36)And they will not be permitted to put forth any excuse.

(37)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(38)That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together!

(39)So if you have a plot, use it against Me (Allâh swt )!

(40)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(41)Verily, the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2) shall be amidst shades and springs.

(42)And fruits, such as they desire.

(43)"Eat and drink comfortably for that which you used to do.

(44)Verily, thus We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers).

(45)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(46)(O you disbelievers)! Eat and enjoy yourselves (in this worldly life) for a little while. Verily, you are the Mujrimûn (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.).

(47)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(48)And when it is said to them: "Bow down yourself (in prayer)!" They bow not down (offer not their prayers)[] .

(49)Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!

(50)Then in what statement after this (the Qur'ân) will they believe?

Al-Insân or Ad-Dahr

(1)Has there not been over man a period of time, when he was nothing to be mentioned?

(2)Verily, We have created man from Nutfah drops of mixed semen (discharge of man and woman), in order to try him, so We made him hearer, seer.

(3)Verily, We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful.

(4)Verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers iron chains, iron collars, and a blazing Fire.

(5)Verily, the Abrâr (pious, who fear Allâh and avoid evil), shall drink a cup (of wine) mixed with water from a spring in Paradise called Kâfûr.

(6)A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allâh will drink, causing it to gush forth abundantly.

(7)They (are those who) fulfill (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil will be wide-spreading.

(8)And they give food, inspite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to Miskin[] (poor), the orphan, and the captive,

(9)(Saying): "We feed you seeking Allâh's Countenance only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you.

(10)"Verily, We fear from our Lord a Day, hard and distressful, that will make the faces look horrible (from extreme dislikeness to it)."

(11)So Allâh saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them Nadratan (a light of beauty) and joy.

(12)And their recompense shall be Paradise, and silken garments, because they were patient.

(13)Reclining therein on raised thrones, they will see there neither the excessive heat of the sun, nor the excessive bitter cold, (as in Paradise there is no sun and no moon).

(14)And the shade thereof is close upon them, and the bunches of fruit thereof will hang low within their reach.

(15)And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and cups of crystal,

(16)Crystal-clear, made of silver. They will determine the measure thereof according to their wishes.

(17)And they will be given to drink there a cup (of wine) mixed with Zanjabîl (ginger, etc.),

(18)A spring there, called Salsabîl.

(19)And round about them will (serve) boys of everlasting youth. If you see them, you would think them scattered pearls.

(20)And when you look there (in Paradise), you will see a delight (that cannot be imagined), and a great dominion.

(21)Their garments will be of fine green silk, and gold embroidery. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a pure drink.

(22)(And it will be said to them): "Verily, this is a reward for you, and your endeavour has been accepted."

(23)Verily! It is We Who have sent down the Qur'ân to you (O Muhammad SAW) by stages.

(24)Therefore be patient (O Muhammad SAW) and submit to the Command of your Lord (Allâh, by doing your duty to Him and by conveying His Message to mankind), and obey neither a sinner nor a disbeliever among them.

(25)And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and 'Asr prayers].

(26)And during night, prostrate yourself to Him (i.e. the offering of Maghrib and 'Ishâ' prayers), and glorify Him a long night through (i.e. Tahajjud prayer).

(27)Verily! These (disbelievers) love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day (that will be hard).

(28)It is We Who created them, and We have made them of strong built. And when We will, We can replace them with others like them with a complete replacement.

(29)Verily! This (Verses of the Qur'ân) is an admonition, so whosoever wills, let him take a Path to his Lord (Allâh).

(30)But you cannot will, unless Allâh wills. Verily, Allâh is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise.

(31)He will admit to His Mercy whom He will and as for the Zâlimûn, (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc.) He has prepared a painful torment.
