Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By (the wind) those sent (as horses') mane (in succession), 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 And those that revive by quickening, 3 Then separate them, one from another, 4 Then spread abroad a Message, 5 to serve as an excuse or a warning. 6 Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 And when the heaven is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are blown away, 10 And when the time comes for raising the little girls (buried alive) -- 11 If one asks, "To which day have such calamitous events been postponed?" 12 To the Day of Decision. 13 Would that you knew about the Day of Judgment! 14 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 15 Did We not destroy many a nation of the earlier times? 16 And We shall cause those of later times to follow them. 17 thus do We deal with the culprits. 18 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 19 Did We not create you from a base fluid 20 Which We placed in a depository safe. 21 for an appointed term? 22 So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things). 23 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 The living and the dead, 26 And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)? 27 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 28 [They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny. 29 “Move towards the shadow of the smoke having three branches.” 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 34 This is a day wherein they speak not, 35 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse. 36 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 37 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; 38 If you now have any conspiracy, carry it out on Me. 39 Woe on the day unto the beliers! 40
