المرسلاتUses natural signs such as the winds as evidence that the promised Resurrection must inevitably come to pass, warning those who deny it of the consequences.
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts
And the winds that blow violently
And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]
And those [angels] who bring criterion
And those [angels] who deliver a message.
As justification or warning,
Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.
So when the stars are obliterated
And when the heaven is opened
And when the mountains are blown away
And when the messengers' time has come...
For what Day was it postponed?
For the Day of Judgement.
And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement?
Woe, that Day, to the deniers.
Did We not destroy the former peoples?
Then We will follow them with the later ones.
Thus do We deal with the criminals.
Woe, that Day, to the deniers.
Did We not create you from a liquid disdained?
And We placed it in a firm lodging [i.e., the womb]
For a known extent.
And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine.
Woe, that Day, to the deniers.
Have We not made the earth a container
