Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran - Surah Al-Mursalat, ayah 9

وَمِنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ فَٱسۡجُدۡ لَهُۥ وَسَبِّحۡهُ لَيۡلٗا طَوِيلًا ٢٦
and prostrate before Him during part of the night,1 and glorify Him long at night.2  76:26
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ يُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَآءَهُمۡ يَوۡمٗا ثَقِيلٗا ٢٧
Surely those ˹pagans˺ love this fleeting world, ˹totally˺ neglecting a weighty Day ahead of them. 76:27
نَّحۡنُ خَلَقۡنَٰهُمۡ وَشَدَدۡنَآ أَسۡرَهُمۡۖ وَإِذَا شِئۡنَا بَدَّلۡنَآ أَمۡثَٰلَهُمۡ تَبۡدِيلًا ٢٨
It is We Who created them and perfected their ˹physical˺ form. But if We will, We can easily replace them with others. 76:28
إِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦ تَذۡكِرَةٞۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلٗا ٢٩
Surely this is a reminder. So let whoever wills take the ˹Right˺ Way to their Lord. 76:29
وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمٗا ٣٠
But you cannot will ˹to do so˺ unless Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. 76:30
يُدۡخِلُ مَن يَشَآءُ فِي رَحۡمَتِهِۦۚ وَٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمَۢا ٣١
He admits whoever He wills into His mercy. As for the wrongdoers, He has prepared for them a painful punishment. 76:31
وَٱلۡمُرۡسَلَٰتِ عُرۡفٗا ١
By those ˹winds˺ sent forth successively, 77:1
فَٱلۡعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصۡفٗا ٢
and those blowing violently, 77:2
وَٱلنَّٰشِرَٰتِ نَشۡرٗا ٣
and those scattering ˹rainclouds˺ widely! 77:3
فَٱلۡفَٰرِقَٰتِ فَرۡقٗا ٤
And ˹by˺ those ˹angels˺ fully distinguishing ˹truth from falsehood˺, 77:4
فَٱلۡمُلۡقِيَٰتِ ذِكۡرًا ٥
and those delivering revelation, 77:5
عُذۡرًا أَوۡ نُذۡرًا ٦
ending excuses and giving warnings. 77:6
إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٞ ٧
Surely, what you are promised will come to pass. 77:7
فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتۡ ٨
So when the stars are put out, 77:8
وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتۡ ٩
and the sky is torn apart, 77:9
وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ نُسِفَتۡ ١٠
and the mountains are blown away, 77:10
وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتۡ ١١
and the messengers’ time ˹to testify˺ comes up— 77:11
لِأَيِّ يَوۡمٍ أُجِّلَتۡ ١٢
for which Day has all this been set? 77:12
لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ١٣
For the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision! 77:13
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا يَوۡمُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ ١٤
And what will make you realize what the Day of Decision is? 77:14
وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٥
Woe on that Day to the deniers! 77:15
أَلَمۡ نُهۡلِكِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ١٦
Did We not destroy earlier disbelievers? 77:16
ثُمَّ نُتۡبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ ١٧
And We will make the later disbelievers follow them. 77:17
كَذَٰلِكَ نَفۡعَلُ بِٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ ١٨
This is how We deal with the wicked. 77:18
وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ ١٩
Woe on that Day to the deniers! 77:19
