Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the (winds) sent forth in quick succession, 1 which then blow tempestuously 2 And scatter (things) far and wide; 3 Then separate them one from another, 4 And those winds that bring down the remembrance. 5 [promising] freedom from blame or [offering] a warning! 6 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur. 7 Then when the stars lose their lights; 8 Heavens will rent asunder. 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed; 11 For what day is it timed? 12 For the Day of Judgement. 13 What will explain to you what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 15 Did We not destroy the earlier people? 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 Thus do We deal with men of sin. 18 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 Which We placed in a depository safe. 21 for an appointed time? 22 So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things). 23 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 24 Have We not made the earth a housing 25 for the living and the dead, 26 place on it high mountains and provide you with fresh water? 27 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 Depart into the shadow of three masses, 30 Neither shady nor protecting against the blazing Fire. 31 Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress, 32 (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. 33 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 34 That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak. 35 Nor given leave to make excuses. 36 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 37 Such is the Day of Decision. We will gather you with the ancients. 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 40
