Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), 1 which then blow tempestuously 2 and raise (clouds) and scatter them around, 3 then the criterion (the verses of Koran), separating 4 Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation, 5 excusing or warning, 6 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur. 7 So when the stars are obliterated 8 It will throw out sparks as logs of wood 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 For what day is it timed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out? 14 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth. 15 Did We not destroy the former peoples? 16 Then We will follow them with the later ones. 17 [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin. 18 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 19 Did We not create you from a weak water, 20 Which We placed in a depository safe. 21 Till a limit known? 22 Thus We have determined the stages of development and Our power to determine is excellent indeed. 23 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 24 Have We not made the earth a housing 25 for the living and the dead, 26 Set We not therein soaring mountains? Sated you with sweetest water? 27 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 28 Depart to that which you belied! 29 proceed towards the three-pronged shadow, 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 34 That will be the Day on which they will not (be able to) utter a word, 35 nor will they be allowed to proffer excuses. 36 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 37 This is the Day of Decision, We have assembled both ye and the ancients. 38 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 40
