Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
CONSIDER these [messages,] sent forth in waves 1 storming tempestuously 2 By the spreading winds spreading. 3 Then separate them, one from another, 4 and those hurling a reminder 5 As justification or warning, 6 Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass. 7 When the stars lose their light, 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 And when the mountains are carried away by wind. 10 The Messengers will receive their appointments. 11 For what Day are these (portents) deferred? 12 Upon the Day of Decision! 13 Would that you knew about the Day of Judgment! 14 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 15 Did We not destroy the earlier peoples? 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you of a mean fluid, 20 and place it in a secure place 21 Till an appointed term, 22 See that We had the power to do so. Great indeed is Our power to do what We will. 23 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle? 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And We placed high mountains as anchors in it and gave you sweet water to drink. 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 (It will be said to the disbelievers): "Depart you to that which you used to deny! 29 proceed towards the three-pronged shadow, 30 unshading against the blazing flame 31 it throws spits as (high as a huge) palace, 32 and as bright as a herd of yellow camels. 33 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 34 That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak. 35 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. 36 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 37 This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together. 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 40
