Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the winds sent forth in swift succession, 1 And the winds that blow violently 2 by (the angels) spreading (the words of God) far and wide, 3 Then by those that clearly differentiate the right and wrong. 4 By those who bring down the Reminder, 5 As justification or warning, 6 that which you have been promised shall be fulfilled. 7 So when the stars are obliterated 8 And when the heaven is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are carried away by wind. 10 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 11 For what day is the time appointed? 12 Nor given leave to make excuses. 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 former peoples? 16 We will now cause the later ones to follow them: 17 [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin. 18 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 19 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? 20 And We placed it in a firm lodging 21 for an appointed time? 22 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! 23 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 24 Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself, 25 For the living and the dead among you? 26 And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water. 27 I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, 28 (It will be said to the disbelievers): "Depart you to that which you used to deny! 29 Proceed to that shadow, rising in three columns 30 "Which neither gives shade, nor saves from the flame." 31 Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles. 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 34 That will be a Day when they shall not speak (during some part of it), 35 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse. 36 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 37 that Day of Distinction [between the true and the false, when they will be told]: "We have brought you together with those [sinners] of olden times; 38 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 40
