Soorah Al-Mursalaat (Those Sent Forth)
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
1.  By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allaah) sent forth one after another.
2.  And by the winds that blow violently,
3.  And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain;
4.  And by the Verses (of the Qur'aan) that separate the right from the wrong.
5.  And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers,
6.  To cut off all excuses or to warn;
7.  Surely, what you are promised must come to pass.
8.  Then when the stars lose their lights;
9.  And when the heaven is cleft asunder;
10.  And when the mountains are blown away;
11.  And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed;
12.  For what Day are these signs postponed?
13.  For the Day of sorting out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell).
14.  And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out?
15.  Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
16.  Did We not destroy the ancients?
17.  So shall We make later generations to follow them.
18.  Thus do We deal with the Mujrimoon (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.)!
19.  Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
20.  Did We not create you from a worthless water (semen, etc.)?
21.  Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb),
22.  For a known period (determined by gestation)?
23.  So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things).
24.  Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
25.  Have We not made the earth a receptacle?
26.  For the living and the dead.
27.  And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water?
28.  Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
29.  (It will be said to the disbelievers): "Depart you to that which you used to deny!
30.  "Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) in three columns,
31.  "Neither shading, nor of any use against the fierce flame of the Fire."
32.  Verily! It (Hell) throws sparks (huge) as Al-Qasr [a fort or a Qasr (huge log of wood)],
33.  As if they were Jimalatun Sufr (yellow camels or bundles of ropes)."
34.  Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
35.  That will be a Day when they shall not speak (during some part of it),
36.  And they will not be permitted to put forth any excuse.
37.  Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
38.  That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together!
39.  So if you have a plot, use it against Me (Allaah subhaanahu wa ta'aala)!
40.  Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
41.  Verily, the Muttaqoon (the pious believers of Islaamic Monotheism) shall be amidst shades and springs.
42.  And fruits, such as they desire.
43.  "Eat and drink comfortably for that which you used to do.
44.  Verily, thus We reward the Muhsinoon (good-doers - see (2):112).
45.  Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
46.  (O you disbelievers)! Eat and enjoy yourselves (in this worldly life) for a little while. Verily, you are the Mujrimoon (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.).
47.  Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
48.  And when it is said to them: "Bow down yourself (in prayer)!" They bow not down (offer not their prayers). [1]
49.  Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)!
50.  Then in what statement after this (the Qur'aan) will they believe?

[1] (77):48 Narrated Anas Ibn Maalik (radi-Allaahu 'anhu):
Allaah's Messenger (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam), "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say Laa ilaaha illAllaah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allaah). And if they say so, perform As-Salaat (the prayer) like our Salaat (prayers), face our Qiblah and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allaah." Narrated Maimoon Ibn Siyaah that he asked Anas Ibn Maalik, "O Abu Hamzah! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says Laa ilaaha illAllaah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allaah), faces our Qiblah during the Salaat, perform As-Salaat like us, and eat our slaughtered animals then he is a Muslim and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have." [Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree, Vol. 1, Hadeeth No. 387]
Narrated Abu Hurairah (radi-Allaahu 'anhu):
Allaah's Messenger (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam), "If the people knew (the reward for) pronouncing the Adhaan and for standing in the first row (in congregational prayers) and found no other way to get that except by drawing lots they would draw lots, and if they knew (the reward of) the Zuhr prayer (in the early moments of its stated time) they would race for it (go early) and if they knew (the reward of) 'Ishaa and Fajr (night and morning) prayers in congregation, they would come to offer them even if they had to crawl." [Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree, Vol. 1, Hadeeth No. 589]
