Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the (winds) sent forth in quick succession, 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 and by the scatterers scattering (rain) 3 thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity, 4 and then giving forth a reminder, 5 By way of excuse or warning. 6 Go to the shadow with three ramifications, 7 So when the stars are made to lose their light, 8 And when the heaven is opened 9 and when the mountains crumble into dust 10 and when the messengers are brought together at the appointed time -- 11 For what day has the term [of all this] been set? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! - 14 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 15 Did We not destroy the earlier peoples? 16 And We shall cause those of later times to follow them. 17 [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin. 18 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 Then We placed it in a secure resting-place, 21 For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)? 22 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! 23 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 24 Have We not caused the earth to hold within itself 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)? 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 Walk on to that which you called a lie. 29 Depart into the shadow of three masses, 30 which neither gives shade nor protects one from the flames. 31 and throwing up sparks as huge as towers 32 Seeming like yellow camels. 33 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 34 This is a day in which they will not be able to speak. 35 Nor will they be given permission to present excuses. 36 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 37 This is the Day of Decision, We have assembled both ye and the ancients. 38 So if you have a plan, then plan against Me. 39 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 40
