Al-Mursalaat — The Emissaries

By those [winds] sent forth in gusts

And the winds that blow violently

And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

And those [angels] who bring criterion

And those [angels] who deliver a message

As justification or warning,

Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.

So when the stars are obliterated

And when the heaven is opened

And when the mountains are blown away

And when the messengers' time has come...

For what Day was it postponed?

For the Day of Judgement.

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

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

Did We not destroy the former peoples?

Then We will follow them with the later ones.

Thus do We deal with the criminals.

Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

Did We not create you from a liquid disdained?
