Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By oath of those that are sent, one after the other, the verses of the Holy Qur'an, the angels, or the winds. 1 Then by oath of those that push with a strong gust. 2 Then by oath of those that lift and carry. 3 Then separate them one from another, 4 and by those who reveal revelations (to the prophets) 5 By way of excuse or warning. 6 Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. 7 When the stars shall be extinguished, 8 and the sky is rent asunder, 9 So like golden camels." 10 And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);- 11 for what Day has this been appointed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? 14 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the former generations? 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 Thus do We deal with men of sin. 18 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 19 Did We not create you from a humble fluid, 20 which We then let remain in [the womb's] firm keeping 21 until an appointed time? 22 We determined, how excellent a Determiner are We! 23 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 The living and the dead, 26 and did We not firmly fix towering mountains on it and give you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 Depart unto the shadow three branched: 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, 32 sparks like to golden herds. 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 On that Day they will be speechless, 35 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. 36 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 37 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be you and the earlier generations. 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 40
