Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
CONSIDER these [messages,] sent forth in waves 1 storming tempestuously 2 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive; 3 then winnow them thoroughly, 4 And then by those that instil Remembrance into the hearts. 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! 7 Then the stars will lose their light. 8 and when the sky is rent asunder 9 And when the mountains are made into 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 For the Day of Sorting out. 13 What do you know what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth. 15 Did We not destroy many a nation of the earlier times? 16 Thereafter We shall cause to follow them the latter ones. 17 Thus do We deal with the sinful ones. 18 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 19 Did We not create you from a base fluid 20 Which We placed in a depository safe. 21 For a certain appointed time, 22 We then calculated; so how excellently do We control! 23 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 24 Did We not make the earth a receptacle, 25 For the living and the dead among you? 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and filled you with sweet water? 27 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 28 'Depart unto that which ye were wont to belie. 29 “Move towards the shadow of the smoke having three branches.” 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 it throws spits as (high as a huge) palace, 32 and as bright as a herd of yellow camels. 33 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 34 This is the day on which they shall not speak, 35 nor will they be allowed to proffer excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; 38 if you have a trick, try you now to trick Me!' 39 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 40
