Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit); 1 storming tempestuously 2 And [by] the winds that spread [clouds] 3 And those that distinguish distinctly, 4 and then giving forth a reminder, 5 excusing or warning, 6 BEHOLD, all that you are told to expect will surely come to pass. 7 Thus, [it will come to pass] when the stars are effaced, 8 Heavens will rent asunder. 9 The mountains reduced to dust and blown away, 10 and when the Messengers' time is set 11 for what Day has this been appointed? 12 To the Day of Decision. 13 And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out? 14 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 15 Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)? 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 Thus do We deal 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 which We placed within a sure lodging 21 For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)? 22 Then We facilitated (your birth). How well do We calculate! 23 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 And placed in it lofty and broad stablisers, and gave you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, 30 Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame. 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 sparks like to golden herds. 33 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 34 This is the day on which they shall not speak, 35 nor will they be allowed to proffer excuses. 36 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 37 That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together! 38 If you now have any conspiracy, carry it out on Me. 39 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 40
