Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn . The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray .

77: (Al-Mursalat)- Those that are sent forth

(Those Sent Forth)Number of Verses: 50


Sūra al-Mursalāt (Arabic: سورة المرسلات) is the seventy seventh sura of the quran. It is makki and located in juz twenty nine. The word "mursalat" means "messengers" and is mentioned in the first verse of this sura.

Sura al-Mursalat emphasizes the happening of the day of judgement and repeatedly warns the deniers. This sura also mentions the actions and signs of wrongdoers and the god-wary and speaks about their destinies. About the merits of the recitation of this sura, it is transmitted from the prophet (s) that whoever recites Sura al-Mursalat, it will be written in his destiny that he would not be among polytheists.

This Surah belongs to the early Meccan period and its name, Mursalat is taken from the first verse. After making some oaths, the text refers to the horrors of the Hereafter for those who reject the Truth.

The refrain,

"Ah woe, that Day to the Rejecters of Truth"

is repeated ten times in the Surah and every time follows a new topic.

In addition to the oaths, the Surah gives some information about the fervent Hereafter and its grievous events, and then repeats the same refrain:

"Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth."

In the second stage, we learn about the woeful story of the sinners of past generations.

In the third stage, it lets us know a little about the creation's specialities.

In the fourth stage, we are informed of some divine Blessings on the Earth.

In the fifth stage, there are some messages in which the rejecters are warned of their painful penalty.

In every stage there is also a hint to an enlightening point and then the refrain follows. Sometimes, the blessings of just men are mentioned to show that both rewards and penalties are found, but the former is used for justification and the latter is for warning.

The refrain, in this Surah, has an association with the refrain in Surah Rahman, No. 55, but with the difference that: Surah Rahman speaks about the Blessings, but Surah Mursalat describes the rejecters' punishments.

It is narrated from the Prophet (S) that:

"One who studies Surah Mursalat will be registered as a non‑pagan".

Another narration from Imam Sadiq (as) cites that:

"If one studies this Surah, Allah makes him familiar to Muhammad (S)".

This reward is certainly for a person who studies it, thinks it over and acts accordingly. So, we see by a narration that some of the Prophet's close friends told him:
