Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By (the angels) sent forth with the commands of God, 1 Have We not made the earth a repository 2 by the scatterers scattering 3 And those that distinguish distinctly, 4 And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers, 5 To clear or to warn. 6 Indeed what you are promised, will surely befall. 7 When the stars are extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 and the mountains are blown away, 10 and the appointed time to bring the Messengers together arrives, (then shall the promised event come to pass). 11 To which Day has this task been deferred? 12 one will be told, "To the Day of Distinction". 13 And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! - 14 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancient people 16 So shall We make later generations to follow them. 17 Thus deal We ever with the guilty. 18 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed, 21 For a known period (determined by gestation)? 22 We then calculated; so how excellently do We control! 23 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected the revelations of God! 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 for both the living and the dead? 26 And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water? 27 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 28 Proceed to that which you denied. 29 "Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, 32 So like golden camels." 33 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 36 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 37 And when the time comes for messengers -- 38 So if you have a plan, then plan against Me. 39 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 40
