Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By (the wind) those sent (as horses') mane (in succession), 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 by the scatterers scattering 3 then the criterion (the verses of Koran), separating 4 and those (angels) dropping, reminding 5 to provide excuses for some and to give warnings to others: 6 that which you have been promised shall be fulfilled. 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 The heavens split asunder, 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 and when the messengers are brought together at the appointed time -- 11 For what day is it timed? 12 Upon the Day of Decision! 13 And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? 14 On that day, woe will be to those who have rejected God's revelations! 15 Destroyed We not the ancients? 16 We shall then send the latter after them. 17 Thus do We deal with the criminals. 18 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 19 Did We not create you from an insignificant drop of fluid 20 The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed, 21 For a known extent. 22 We determined; excellent determiners are We. 23 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 for the living and the dead, 26 Set We not therein soaring mountains? Sated you with sweetest water? 27 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 28 Proceed to that (the Day of Judgment) which you have rejected. 29 "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 unshading against the blazing flame 31 Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles. 32 "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)." 33 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 34 That will be the Day on which they will not (be able to) utter a word, 35 Nor shall they be permitted so that they might excuse themselves. 36 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 37 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; 38 If now you have any strategy, use it against Me. 39 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 40
