47. وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

48. وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱرْكَعُوا۟ لَا يَرْكَعُونَ

49. وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

50. فَبِأَىِّ حَدِيثٍۭ بَعْدَهُۥ يُؤْمِنُونَ

Context of Revelation

Surah Al-Mursalāt (The Emissaries) is a Meccan surah consisting of 50 verses. It was revealed in the early years of the Prophet’s ﷺ mission in Mecca. The term Al-Mursalāt means “those sent forth,” referring either to the winds or the angels dispatched by God to carry out His commands.

According to Ibn Kathīr and Al-Ṭabarī, this surah was revealed at a time when the Quraysh vehemently denied the message of resurrection and judgment. God swears by the emissaries—forces of nature and divine messengers alike—to affirm the certainty of the Last Day and the truth of the Qur’an.

Main Teachings and Key Insights

Surah Al-Mursalāt emphasizes the reality of the Final Judgment, the power of God’s decree, and the accountability of humankind. Its main lessons include:

  • Divine oaths by “those sent forth”—winds or angels—to affirm the coming of the Day of Judgment. (vv. 1–7)
  • The certainty of resurrection and divine punishment for deniers. (vv. 8–15)
  • The recurring refrain: “Woe on that Day to those who deny the truth!” serving as a warning and reminder. (vv. 15, 19, 24...)
  • Depiction of the fate of the wicked versus the rewards of the righteous. (vv. 28–45)
  • The final affirmation of divine justice: none can escape God’s decree. (vv. 46–50)

The surah powerfully reinforces the certainty of the afterlife and the urgency of repentance. Its rhythmic repetition gives it a prophetic tone meant to awaken conscience and faith.

Structure and Main Themes

  • Opening oaths (vv. 1–7): God swears by the emissaries, affirming the inevitable Day of Judgment.
  • Announcement of the Judgment (vv. 8–19): depiction of cosmic upheaval and divine retribution.
  • Reflection on creation (vv. 20–28): the natural order as evidence of God’s power to resurrect.
  • Reward and punishment (vv. 29–45): contrast between the torment of deniers and the bliss of the faithful.
  • Solemn conclusion (vv. 46–50): final call to faith and warning against heedlessness.

The tone of the surah is forceful, rhythmic, and prophetic: it compels awareness of the end times, warns of divine justice, and calls for belief in the Qur’an as ultimate truth.

Key Verse

The pivotal verse of the surah is verse 50:

فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ

“Then in what message after this will they believe?”

Why this verse is key:

  • It closes the surah with a rhetorical question that exposes the stubbornness of disbelief—if God’s Word is rejected, nothing else can convince.
  • It reaffirms the finality and authority of the Qur’an as the ultimate divine message before the Day of Judgment.
  • It encapsulates human accountability: belief in the divine revelation is the last opportunity before the irreversible Day.

In summary, Surah Al-Mursalāt calls for awareness of the coming Judgment, fear of divine punishment, and recognition of the Qur’an as the final divine warning. The repeated refrain “Woe on that Day to those who deny the truth” underscores the urgency of faith before the inevitable end.
