Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By (the wind) those sent (as horses') mane (in succession), 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force! 2 and the rain-spreading winds, 3 thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity, 4 And then by those that instil Remembrance into the hearts. 5 to excuse some and warn others: 6 What is promised will surely come to pass. 7 Thus, [it will come to pass] when the stars are effaced, 8 When the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 and when the mountains crumble into dust 10 And when the time of the Noble Messengers arrives. 11 For which day were they appointed? 12 To the Day of Judgement. 13 And what knowest thou what the Day of Decision is? 14 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the earlier peoples? 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 In this wise We do with the culprits. 18 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 19 Did We not create you from an abject fluid? 20 that We laid within a sure lodging 21 for an appointed time? 22 So We decreed. How excellent are We as decreers! 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle. 25 for both the living and the dead? 26 And have placed therein firm and tall mountains and given you to drink of water fresh 27 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 28 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 Walk on to the covering having three branches, 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, 32 (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. 33 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 34 This is the day on which they shall not speak, 35 nor 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 Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! 39 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 40
