Al-Mursalat 77:1–7
By the winds sent forth
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
وَٱلْمُرْسَلَٰتِ عُرْفًۭا ١ فَٱلْعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصْفًۭا ٢ وَٱلنَّٰشِرَٰتِ نَشْرًۭا ٣ فَٱلْفَٰرِقَٰتِ فَرْقًۭا ٤ فَٱلْمُلْقِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا ٥ عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا ٦ إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ ٧
The meaning, simply
Allah swears by the winds that blow one after another, by the strong winds, by the angels who drive the clouds, by the angels who bring down what separates truth from falsehood, and by the angels who bring the revelation to the prophets, so that no one is left with an excuse, and as a warning: what you are promised of the Day will surely happen.
