Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By (the wind) those sent (as horses') mane (in succession), 1 storming tempestuously 2 and by the scatterers scattering (rain) 3 by (the angels) who make a clear distinction between right and wrong 4 by those who bring down the reminder, 5 As justification or warning, 6 Verily that which ye are promised is about to befall. 7 When the stars are extinguished, 8 and the sky is rent asunder, 9 when the mountains shall be scattered 10 And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time 11 For what Day are these (portents) deferred? 12 To the day of decision. 13 And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? 14 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 We shall then send the latter after them. 17 Thus do We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 19 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? 20 Then We lodged you in a secure place (the womb) 21 for an appointed term? 22 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle, 25 Of the living and the dead? 26 And have placed therein firm and tall mountains and given you to drink of water fresh 27 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 28 “Move towards what you used to deny!” 29 Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns 30 affording neither shade, nor protection from the flames, 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 Seeming like yellow camels. 33 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 nor will they be permitted to offer any excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 This is the Day of Decision; We have gathered you and all the earlier men. 38 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 40
