Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), 1 storming tempestuously 2 And those that revive by quickening, 3 by (the angels) who make a clear distinction between right and wrong 4 and those (angels) dropping, reminding 5 to serve as an excuse or a warning. 6 surely that which you are promised is about to fall! 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 and when all the apostles are called together at a time appointed... 11 For what day has the term [of all this] been set? 12 To the day of decision. 13 Would that you knew about the Day of Judgment! 14 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 15 Destroyed We not the former folk, 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 Thus do We deal with the criminals. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 And We placed it in a firm lodging 21 until an appointed time? 22 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! 23 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 The living and the dead, 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and filled you with sweet water? 27 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 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 protects one from the flames. 31 It will throw out sparks as logs of wood 32 sparks like to golden herds. 33 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 34 That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak. 35 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 37 This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples. 38 Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! 39 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 40
