The Emissaries

وَٱلۡمُرۡسَلَٰتِ عُرۡفٗا

By those [winds] sent forth in gusts

فَٱلۡعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصۡفٗا

And the winds that blow violently

وَٱلنَّـٰشِرَٰتِ نَشۡرٗا

And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

فَٱلۡفَٰرِقَٰتِ فَرۡقٗا

And those [angels] who bring criterion

فَٱلۡمُلۡقِيَٰتِ ذِكۡرًا

And those [angels] who deliver a message

عُذۡرًا أَوۡ نُذۡرًا

As justification or warning

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٞ

Indeed, what you are promised is to occur

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتۡ

So when the stars are obliterated

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتۡ

And when the heaven is opened

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ نُسِفَتۡ

And when the mountains are blown away

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتۡ

And when the messengers' time has come

لِأَيِّ يَوۡمٍ أُجِّلَتۡ

For what Day was it postponed

لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ

For the Day of Judgement

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ

And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers

أَلَمۡ نُهۡلِكِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

Did We not destroy the former peoples

ثُمَّ نُتۡبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Then We will follow them with the later ones

كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

Thus do We deal with the criminals

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers

أَلَمۡ نَخۡلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٖ مَّهِينٖ

Did We not create you from a liquid disdained

فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُ فِي قَرَارٖ مَّكِينٍ

And We placed it in a firm lodging

إِلَىٰ قَدَرٖ مَّعۡلُومٖ

For a known extent

فَقَدَرۡنَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡقَٰدِرُونَ

And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine

وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

Woe, that Day, to the deniers

أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ كِفَاتًا

Have We not made the earth a container
