Al-Mursalat

Also known as Surah 77, Sura 77, The Emissaries, Winds Sent Forth, Surah of the Emissaries, Surah of the Winds Sent Forth

Al-Mursalāt (, "The Emissaries", "Winds Sent Forth") is the 77th chapter (sura) of the Quran, with 50 verses. The chapter takes its name from the word Al-Mursalāt in the first verse. The subject is seen to provide evidence that it was revealed in the earliest period at Makkah. If this surah is read together with the two surahs preceding it, namely Al-Qiyamah and Al-Insan, and the two surahs following it, namely An-Naba and An-Naziat, it becomes obvious that all these surahs are the revelations of the same period, and they deal with the same theme, which has been impressed on the people of Makk
