Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allah) sent forth one after another. 1 by (the angels) as swift as blowing winds, 2 by the scatterers scattering 3 Then separate them one from another, 4 By those who bring down the Reminder, 5 To cut off all excuses or to warn; 6 Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass. 7 So when the stars are put out, 8 And when the heaven is rent asunder, 9 and when the mountains are scattered like dust, 10 And when the time of the Noble Messengers arrives. 11 To which Day has this task been deferred? 12 Nor given leave to make excuses. 13 And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out? 14 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 So shall We make later generations to follow them. 17 Thus do We deal with the sinful ones. 18 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 19 Did We not create you out of a humble fluid 20 Then We placed it in a secure resting-place, 21 for a term pre-ordained? 22 For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things). 23 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected the revelations of God! 24 Did We not make the earth a receptacle, 25 for the living and for the dead? 26 And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water? 27 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 28 'Depart unto that which ye were wont to belie. 29 Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns 30 Neither shady nor protecting against the blazing Fire. 31 And those that bring down the Reminder 32 like giant fiery ropes! 33 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 nor be allowed to proffer excuses! 36 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 37 that Day of Distinction [between the true and the false, when they will be told]: "We have brought you together with those [sinners] of olden times; 38 If now ye have any craft, try that craft upon Me. 39 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 40
