Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit); 1 Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts, 2 Which scatter clouds to their destined places, 3 Then by those that clearly differentiate the right and wrong. 4 and then giving forth a reminder, 5 to excuse some and warn others: 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 Then the stars will lose their light. 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 and when the mountains crumble into dust 10 and when the Messengers' time is set, 11 to what day shall they be deferred? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 14 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth. 15 Have We not destroyed the earlier generations? 16 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 17 Thus do We deal with the Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.)! 18 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 19 Did We not create you from a weak water, 20 Then We placed it in a secure resting-place, 21 for an appointed term? 22 For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things). 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Have We not made the earth a repository 25 for both the living and the dead? 26 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein? 27 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 28 GO ON towards that [resurrection] which you were wont to call a lie! 29 Walk on to the covering having three branches, 30 "Which neither gives shade, nor saves from the flame." 31 that shoots sparks like dry faggots, 32 As if they were tawny camels. 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse. 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)! 38 If now you have any strategy, use it against Me. 39 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 40
