Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force, 2 and raise (clouds) and scatter them around, 3 separating one from another, 4 and by those who reveal revelations (to the prophets) 5 To clear or to warn. 6 Go to the shadow with three ramifications, 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 when heaven shall be split 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 For what day has the term [of all this] been set? 12 For the Day of sorting out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell). 13 And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! - 14 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be, and the earlier. 15 Did We not destroy the ancients? 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 Those who take heed for themselves and fear God, will be amidst shade and springs of water, 18 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 19 Did We not create you from a humble fluid, 20 then placed it in a secure repository [the womb], 21 until an appointed time? 22 So We decreed. How excellent are We as decreers! 23 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 24 Did We not make the earth a receptacle, 25 For the living and the dead. 26 and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink? 27 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 28 GO ON towards that [resurrection] which you were wont to call a lie! 29 "Move towards the shadow of the smoke having three branches." 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 Verily it shall cast forth sparks like unto a castle. 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 34 This is a day wherein they speak not, 35 neither be given leave, and excuse themselves. 36 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 37 This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples. 38 if you have a trick, try you now to trick Me!' 39 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 40
