Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By oath of those that are sent, one after the other, the verses of the Holy Qur'an, the angels, or the winds. 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force! 2 and raise (clouds) and scatter them around, 3 by (the angels) who make a clear distinction between right and wrong 4 By those who bring down the Reminder, 5 to serve as an excuse or a warning. 6 Surely what you are promised shall come to pass. 7 When the stars shall be extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 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 the time appointed? 12 one will be told, "To the Day of Distinction". 13 And what could make thee conceive what that Day of Distinction will be? 14 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 15 Did We not destroy the former generations? 16 and make others settle after them in their land? 17 Thus do We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 19 Did We not create you of a mean fluid, 20 which We then let remain in [the womb's] firm keeping 21 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 22 Thus We have determined the stages of development and Our power to determine is excellent indeed. 23 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle? 25 For the living and the dead among you? 26 In what other lore after this will they then believe? 27 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 28 Walk on to that which you called a lie. 29 Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts, 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 34 This is the day on which they shall not speak, 35 nor will they be allowed to proffer excuses. 36 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 37 That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)! 38 If you have any plans, use them. 39 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 40
