Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the winds sent forth with beneficence. 1 Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts, 2 Consider these [messages] that spread [the truth] far and wide, 3 And by the Verses (of the Quran) that separate the right from the wrong. 4 And those winds that bring down the remembrance. 5 to serve as an excuse or a warning. 6 surely that which you are promised is about to fall! 7 When the stars are extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 and when all the apostles are called together at a time appointed... 11 For which day were they appointed? 12 For the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false]! 13 Would that you knew about the Day of Judgment! 14 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients, 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 thus do We deal with the culprits. 18 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 19 Did We not create you from a weak water, 20 Then We placed it in a secure resting-place, 21 for an appointed term? 22 So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things). 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 The living and the dead, 26 And We placed high mountains as anchors in it and gave you sweet water to drink. 27 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 Walk on to the covering having three branches, 30 Neither shady nor protecting against the blazing Fire. 31 Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles. 32 like giant fiery ropes! 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak. 35 And they will not be permitted to put forth any excuse. 36 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 37 This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples. 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 40
