Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 by the scatterers scattering 3 then winnow them thoroughly, 4 and those (angels) dropping, reminding 5 to serve as an excuse or a warning. 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 Then the stars will lose their light. 8 when heaven shall be split 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 And when the messengers' time has come... 11 For what Day are these signs postponed? 12 To the Day of Decision. 13 And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision? 14 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients, 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 Thus do We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you out of a humble fluid 20 Then We placed it in a secure resting-place, 21 For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)? 22 We determined, how excellent a Determiner are We! 23 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected the revelations of God! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle 25 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 to that shadow, rising in three columns 30 Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame. 31 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, 32 As if they were tawny camels. 33 What is promised will surely come to pass. 34 They will not be able to speak that day, 35 nor will they be permitted to offer any excuses. 36 The mountains reduced to dust and blown away, 37 This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together. 38 if you have a trick, try you now to trick Me!' 39 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 40
