1 Consequences of Rejection

وَٱلۡمُرۡسَلَـٰتِ عُرۡفࣰا ۝١

By those that are sent forth gently,

wal-mur'salāti ʿur'fa

فَٱلۡعَـٰصِفَـٰتِ عَصۡفࣰا ۝٢

then storm tempestuously;

fal-ʿāṣifāti ʿaṣfa

وَٱلنَّـٰشِرَ ٰتِ نَشۡرࣰا ۝٣

by those who spread an announcement,

wal-nāshirāti nashra

فَٱلۡفَـٰرِقَـٰتِ فَرۡقࣰا ۝٤

then distinguish differentiation

fal-fāriqāti farqa

فَٱلۡمُلۡقِیَـٰتِ ذِكۡرًا ۝٥

and set forth reminder,

fal-mul'qiyāti dhik'ra

عُذۡرًا أَوۡ نُذۡرًا ۝٦

as justification or warning:

innamā tūʿadūna lawāqiʿu

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَ ٰقِعࣱ ۝٧

what you are promised will surely take place.

Innama tooAAadoona lawaqiAAun

فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتۡ ۝٨

That is when the stars are extinguished

fa-idhā l-nujūmu ṭumisa

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَاۤءُ فُرِجَتۡ ۝٩

and when the sky is split open,

wa-idhā l-samāu furija

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ نُسِفَتۡ ۝١٠

and when the mountains arc pulverized,

wa-idhā l-jibālu nusifa

وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتۡ ۝١١

and when the Envoys are appointed their time.

wa-idhā l-rusulu uqqita

لِأَیِّ یَوۡمٍ أُجِّلَتۡ ۝١٢

To what day arc these deferred?

li-ayyi yawmin ujjila

لِیَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ۝١٣

To the day of judgment.

liyawmi l-faṣl

وَمَاۤ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا یَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ۝١٤

And what will convey to you what the day of judgment is?

wamā adrāka mā yawmu l-faṣl

وَیۡلࣱ یَوۡمَىِٕذࣲ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِینَ ۝١٥

Woe on that day to those who rejected truth as false!

Did We not annihilate peoples of earlier times?

alam nuh'liki l-awalīn

ثُمَّ نُتۡبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡءَاخِرِینَ ۝١٧

We then cause others to follow them:

thumma nut'biʿuhumu l-ākhirīn

كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ ۝١٨

thus do We deal with sinners.

Did We not crec1.te you all from an ignominious fluid,

alam nakhluqkkum min māin mahīni

فَجَعَلۡنَـٰهُ فِی قَرَارࣲ مَّكِینٍ ۝٢١

which We placed in a secure abode

fajaʿalnāhu fī qarārin makīni

إِلَىٰ قَدَرࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ ۝٢٢

for a determined measure?

ilā qadarin maʿlūmi

فَقَدَرۡنَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡقَـٰدِرُونَ ۝٢٣

For We have determined measures, being the best giver of order.

alam najʿali l-arḍa kifāta

أَحۡیَاۤءࣰ وَأَمۡوَ ٰتࣰا ۝٢٦

for the living and the dead?

aḥyāan wa-amwāta

وَجَعَلۡنَا فِیهَا رَوَ ٰسِیَ شَـٰمِخَـٰتࣲ وَأَسۡقَیۡنَـٰكُم مَّاۤءࣰ فُرَاتࣰا ۝٢٧

And placed thereupon lofty mountains, and given you sweet water to drink?

wajaʿalnā fīhā rawāsiya shāmikhātin wa-asqaynākum māan furāta

ٱنطَلِقُوۤا۟ إِلَىٰ مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ ۝٢٩

â€œGo on your way to what you used to deny as false:

inṭaliqū ilā mā kuntum bihi tukadhibūn

ٱنطَلِقُوۤا۟ إِلَىٰ ظِلࣲّ ذِی ثَلَـٰثِ شُعَبࣲ ۝٣٠

go to a three-forked shadow

inṭaliqū ilā ẓillin dhī thalāthi shuʿabi

لَّا ظَلِیلࣲ وَلَا یُغۡنِی مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ ۝٣١

that gives no shade and is no use against the fire

lā ẓalīlin walā yugh'nī mina l-lahab

إِنَّهَا تَرۡمِی بِشَرَرࣲ كَٱلۡقَصۡرِ ۝٣٢

that throws sparks big as buildings.

innahā tarmī bishararin kal-qaṣr

كَأَنَّهُۥ جِمَـٰلَتࣱ صُفۡرࣱ ۝٣٣

this is the day they will be tongue-tied

hādhā yawmu lā yanṭiqūn

وَلَا یُؤۡذَنُ لَهُمۡ فَیَعۡتَذِرُونَ ۝٣٦

and not allowed to excuse themselves.

That is the day of judgment, when We will gather you all and all of those before you.

hādhā yawmu l-faṣli jamaʿnākum wal-awalīn

فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمۡ كَیۡدࣱ فَكِیدُونِ ۝٣٩

So if you have a scheme then scheme against Mel

fa-in kāna lakum kaydun fakīdūn
