Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By (the wind) those sent (as horses') mane (in succession), 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 Then by oath of those that lift and carry. 3 by (the angels) who make a clear distinction between right and wrong 4 By those who bring down the Reminder, 5 to provide excuses for some and to give warnings to others: 6 Indeed what you are promised, will surely befall. 7 So when the stars are obliterated 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 and when the mountains crumble into dust 10 And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time 11 For which day were they appointed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out? 14 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 Thereafter We shall cause to follow them the latter ones. 17 As such shall We deal with 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 then placed it in a secure repository [the womb], 21 for an appointed time? 22 Thus We have determined the stages of development and Our power to determine is excellent indeed. 23 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle 25 Both 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 that give the lie to the Truth! 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 Go to the shadow with three ramifications, 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 and throwing up sparks as huge as towers 32 as black camels. 33 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 34 That will be the Day on which they will not (be able to) utter a word, 35 nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses. 36 On that day, woe would be those who have rejected God's revelations! 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 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 40
