    About Surah Al-Mursalat

    Al-Mursalat, the Emissaries, opens with oaths by the winds sent forth and repeats a sobering refrain warning those who deny the truth. It points to the stages of human creation, the firm mountains, and the alternation of life as signs that the Day of Decision is real and certain.
