Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force, 2 Then by oath of those that lift and carry. 3 by (the angels) who make a clear distinction between right and wrong 4 and then giving forth a reminder, 5 To clear or to warn. 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 When the stars are extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are blown away, 10 and when the Messengers' time is set 11 To what day is the doom fixed? 12 Upon the Day of Decision! 13 And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out? 14 Woe on that day unto the beliers 15 Destroyed We not the former folk, 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 So We serve the sinners. 18 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 19 Did We not create you of a mean fluid, 20 and place it in a secure place 21 till a known term decreed? 22 So We proportion it-- how well are We at proportioning (things). 23 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 24 Have We not made the earth a container 25 for the living and the dead, 26 place on it high mountains and provide you with fresh water? 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 Depart to that which you belied! 29 Proceed to a shadow rising in three columns: 30 Neither shady nor protecting against the blazing Fire. 31 Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles. 32 As if they were yellowish [black] camels. 33 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 34 They will not be able to speak that day, 35 And they will not be permitted to put forth any excuse. 36 On that day, woe would be those who have rejected God's revelations! 37 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; 38 If now ye have any wit, outwit Me. 39 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 40
