Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the winds sent forth in swift succession, 1 And by the winds that blow violently, 2 and by the scatterers scattering (rain) 3 Then separate them one from another, 4 and those hurling a reminder 5 Whether of Justification or of Warning;- 6 that which you have been promised shall be fulfilled. 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 is set, 11 For what day is it timed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out? 14 Woe on that day unto the beliers 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 So shall We make later (generations) follow them. 17 Thus deal We ever with the guilty. 18 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 19 Did We not create you from an insignificant drop of fluid 20 Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb), 21 For a known extent. 22 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine. 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 When it is said to them: "Bow in homage," they do not bow. 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 And have placed therein firm and tall mountains and given you to drink of water fresh 27 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 28 'Depart unto that which ye were wont to belie. 29 Proceed to a 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 which seem as though they are yellow-coloured camels. 33 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 34 That will be the Day on which they will not (be able to) utter a word, 35 neither be given leave, and excuse themselves. 36 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 37 This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore. 38 Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! 39 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 40
