Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the (winds) sent forth in quick succession, 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force! 2 Which scatter clouds to their destined places, 3 And those [angels] who bring criterion 4 And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers, 5 As justification or warning, 6 What is promised will surely come to pass. 7 When the stars shall be extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 The mountains reduced to dust and blown away, 10 And when the time comes for raising the little girls (buried alive) -- 11 To which Day has this task been deferred? 12 Upon the Day of Decision! 13 And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? 14 On that day, woe will be to those who have rejected God's revelations! 15 Destroyed We not the ancients? 16 So shall We make later (generations) follow them. 17 Thus do We deal with the sinful ones. 18 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 19 Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?- 20 Which We laid up in a safe abode 21 till a known term decreed? 22 So We proportion it-- how well are We at proportioning (things). 23 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 Of the living and the dead? 26 And placed in it lofty and broad stablisers, and gave you sweet water to drink? 27 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, 32 and as bright as a herd of yellow camels. 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 This is the Day they shall not speak, 35 nor will they be allowed to proffer excuses. 36 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 37 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; 38 If now you have any strategy, use it against Me. 39 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 40
