SURAH AL-MURSALAT (THOSE SENT FORTH)

MECCAN PERIOD

Division: 55

1-7I hereby adduce the Ayat of the Qur’an that were revealed division by division and overthrow all those which oppose it, revive and reanimate the communities and separate the truth and the superstitious as they revive the communities, grant admonition as an excuse or a warning that, surely, what you are threatened, frightened will occur.72

8And when the stars are obliterated/terminated/sent away, 9and when the firmament is torn asunder, 10and when the mountains are scattered, 11-13and when the messengers, who are to witness, are assigned the time for witnessing on the Day of “sorting-out”, for which they have been kept hold, -“14What can make you know what the sorting-out day is?”- 15O woe to those who deny the truth on that day!

16Did We not manipulate/devastate the former ones?

17Then We will lead the later ones to follow them. 18Thus We do to criminals. 19O woe to those who deny the truth on that day!

20Did We not create you from a water disdained?

21,22Then We kept it within a place safe for a period/until a time predetermined. 23For We had the power to do so. O how are We the best of those who are capable! 24O woe to those who deny the truth on that day!

25,26Did We not make the earth a place for the living and the dead to gather/to be held within?

27We created there solid, high mountains and made you drink fresh water. 28O woe to those who deny the truth on that day!

29Proceed to that which you deny! 30,31Proceed to a shadow with three arms/a trident that neither shadow(s) nor protect(s) from the fire!

32Indeed, it throws/rains sparks like the palace; 33as though sparks were yellow male camels. 34O woe to those who deny the truth on that day!

35That will be the day on which they shall not be able to speak. 36Nor shall they be permitted to put forth pleas. 3728O woe to those who deny the truth on that day!

38That will be the Day of sorting-out, on which We will gather you and the former ones. 39Now, if you have a plot, implement that filthy plot of yours against me! 4028O woe to those who deny the truth on that day!

41,42Indeed, as to those who surrender to Allah shall be amidst shadows, springs and fruits as they desire. –“43Eat and drink for what you have done!”- 44Thus We reward those who do good deeds. 45O woe to those who deny the truth on that day!

46Eat and enjoy for a while, surely you are the sinners. 47 O woe to those who deny the truth on that day! 48And when they are told: “Refrain from associating others with Allah” they do not. 49 O woe to those who deny the truth on that day!

50And what message will they believe after the Qur’an?

(33/77,Al-MurSalat/1-50)

72 Actual meaning of the words contained in the Ayat is as follows: “I hereby swear by those who were sent in masses, in groups, and in flocks – therefore those who bend and overwhelm -, those who revived and animated – therefore those who separate and split -, and those who left an admonition whether as an excuse or to warn, that what you have been threatened for will certainly occur”. In our interpretation, we used its metaphorical meaning.
