Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the (winds) sent forth in quick succession, 1 Then by oath of those that push with a strong gust. 2 And [by] the winds that spread [clouds] 3 then winnow them thoroughly, 4 and then cast (Allah's) remembrance (in people's hearts), 5 To end all argument or to warn. 6 Indeed what you are promised, will surely befall. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 and when the sky is rent asunder, 9 when the mountains shall be scattered 10 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 11 For what day is the time appointed? 12 For the Day of Sorting out. 13 And what knowest thou what the Day of Decision is? 14 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 15 Have We not destroyed the earlier generations? 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 to those who belied it! 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 And We placed it in a firm lodging 21 until an appointed time? 22 So We decreed. How excellent are We as decreers! 23 Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle? 25 the living and the dead? 26 Set We not therein soaring mountains? Sated you with sweetest water? 27 On that Day (of Judgment) woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 28 (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false! 29 "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 "(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze. 31 The fire will shoot out sparks as big as huge towers 32 Seeming like yellow camels. 33 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 34 This is a day in which they will not be able to speak. 35 Nor shall they be permitted so that they might excuse themselves. 36 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 37 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; 38 So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now). 39 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 40
