Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 And by the winds that blow violently, 2 And those that revive by quickening, 3 By those who winnow with a winnowing, 4 Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation, 5 To end all argument or to warn. 6 that which you have been promised shall be fulfilled. 7 So when the stars are made to lose their light, 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time 11 To what day is the doom fixed? 12 For the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false]! 13 And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? 14 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancient people 16 We shall then send the latter after them. 17 Thus do We deal with the criminals. 18 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 19 Did We not create you out of a humble fluid 20 We then kept it in a safe place. 21 For a known extent. 22 Thus We have determined the stages of development and Our power to determine is excellent indeed. 23 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 24 Made We not the earth to be a housing 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And have placed therein firm and tall mountains and given you to drink of water fresh 27 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 28 And those that strike violently, 29 Proceed to that shadow, rising in three columns 30 unshading against the blazing flame 31 Verily! It (Hell) throws sparks (huge) as Al-Qasr [a fort or a Qasr (huge log of wood)], 32 So like golden camels." 33 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 Nor will they be given permission to present excuses. 36 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 37 This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples. 38 Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! 39 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 40
