Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the winds sent forth in swift succession, 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 and raise (clouds) and scatter them around, 3 then winnow them thoroughly, 4 And those [angels] who deliver a message 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 that whatever with which you have been warned will inevitably come to pass. 7 Then when the stars lose their lights; 8 and the sky is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 and when all the apostles are called together at a time appointed... 11 For what day is that time fixed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! - 14 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 15 Did We not destroy the former generations? 16 and make others settle after them in their land? 17 In this wise We do with the culprits. 18 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 19 Created We you not of water despicable, 20 and place it in a secure place 21 For a certain appointed time, 22 So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things). 23 Woe, on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle? 25 For the living and the dead among you? 26 and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 28 "Go to what you used to deny; 29 Walk on to the covering having three branches, 30 Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame. 31 The fire will shoot out sparks as big as huge towers 32 like giant fiery ropes! 33 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 34 On that Day they will be speechless, 35 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse. 36 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 37 That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together! 38 If you have any plans, use them. 39 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 40
