Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allah) sent forth one after another. 1 And those that strike violently, 2 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive; 3 Then separate them, one from another, 4 and then cast (Allah's) remembrance (in people's hearts), 5 Whether of Justification or of Warning;- 6 that which you have been promised shall be fulfilled. 7 When the stars are obliterated, 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 The mountains will be blown away as dust. 10 and when all the apostles are called together at a time appointed... 11 to what day shall they be delayed? 12 Upon 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 So shall We make later (generations) follow them. 17 Thus do We deal with the guilty. 18 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 19 Did We not create you of a mean fluid, 20 We then kept it in a safe place. 21 For a known term? 22 Then We facilitated (your birth). How well do We calculate! 23 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 24 Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together. 25 for the living and the dead? 26 And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water? 27 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 28 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns 30 “Which neither gives shade, nor saves from the flame.” 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 As if they were yellowish [black] camels. 33 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 34 This is the day on which they shall not speak, 35 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse. 36 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 37 That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together! 38 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 40
