الْمُرْسَلَات

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

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

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

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

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

The living and the dead,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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