Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the winds sent forth in swift succession, 1 And by the winds that blow violently, 2 and raise (clouds) and scatter them around, 3 And those [angels] who bring criterion 4 By those who bring down the Reminder, 5 To complete the argument or to warn. 6 that whatever with which you have been warned will inevitably come to pass. 7 When the stars are extinguished, 8 The heavens split asunder, 9 and the mountains are blown away, 10 And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed - 11 For what Day was it postponed? 12 Upon the Day of Decision! 13 Would that you knew about the Day of Judgment! 14 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 15 Did We not destroy the former peoples? 16 So shall We make later (generations) follow them. 17 thus do We deal with the culprits. 18 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 19 Did We not create you from a base fluid 20 Which We placed in a depository safe. 21 Till a limit known? 22 Then We facilitated (your birth). How well do We calculate! 23 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle. 25 for the living and the dead? 26 And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water? 27 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 28 [They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny. 29 proceed towards the three-pronged shadow, 30 "(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze. 31 It will throw out sparks as logs of wood 32 As if they were yellowish [black] camels. 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 They will not be able to speak that day, 35 Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas. 36 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 37 Such is the Day of Decision. We will gather you with the ancients. 38 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 40
