Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive; 3 then winnow them thoroughly, 4 Then spread abroad a Message, 5 To end all argument or to warn. 6 Verily that which ye are promised is about to befall. 7 So when the stars are obliterated 8 and the sky is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 and when all the apostles are called together at a time appointed... 11 For what Day are these signs postponed? 12 To the Day of Decision. 13 Would that you knew what the Day of Decision is! 14 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 15 Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)? 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 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 humble fluid, 20 We then kept it in a safe place. 21 for a term pre-ordained? 22 Thus have We determined [the nature of man's creation]: and excellent indeed is Our power to determine [what is to be]! 23 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 24 Have We not made the earth a housing 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And We placed high mountains as anchors in it and gave you sweet water to drink. 27 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 Go to the shadow with three ramifications, 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 Verily it shall cast forth sparks like unto a castle. 32 like giant fiery ropes! 33 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 34 This is the Day they shall not speak, 35 nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses. 36 On that day, woe would be those who have rejected God's revelations! 37 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be (you) and the earlier (generations). 38 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 40
