Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
CONSIDER these [messages,] sent forth in waves 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 Consider these [messages] that spread [the truth] far and wide, 3 And the scattering winds scattering. 4 and those (angels) dropping, reminding 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur. 7 When the stars are obliterated, 8 When the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 and the mountains are blown away, 10 And when the time of the Noble Messengers arrives. 11 To what day is the doom fixed? 12 one will be told, "To the Day of Distinction". 13 Would that you knew about the Day of Judgment! 14 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 We will now cause the later ones to follow them: 17 Thus do We deal with the guilty. 18 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 that We laid within a sure lodging 21 until an appointed time? 22 We then calculated; so how excellently do We control! 23 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 For the living and the dead among you? 26 and did We not firmly fix towering mountains on it and give you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 28 (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false! 29 Walk on to the covering having three branches, 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, 32 (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. 33 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses. 36 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 37 This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore. 38 If you now have any conspiracy, carry it out on Me. 39 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 40
