Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another 1 which then blow tempestuously 2 Consider these [messages] that spread [the truth] far and wide, 3 then winnow them thoroughly, 4 and those hurling a reminder 5 to provide excuses for some and to give warnings to others: 6 Surely what you are promised shall come to pass. 7 When the stars shall be extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is opened 9 And when the mountains are made into dust and blown away. 10 And when the messengers' time has come... 11 If one asks, "To which day have such calamitous events been postponed?" 12 To the Day of Judgement. 13 How will you comprehend what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe on that day unto the beliers 15 Did We not destroy the ancient people 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin. 18 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 19 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? 20 We then kept it in a safe place. 21 Till a limit known? 22 Thus did We Plan and how excellent is Our planning! 23 Woe, on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 24 Made We not the earth to be a housing 25 for the living and the dead, 26 and did We not firmly fix towering mountains on it and give you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 Depart to that which you belied! 29 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, 30 unshading against the blazing flame 31 it throws spits as (high as a huge) palace, 32 as black camels. 33 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse. 36 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 37 This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore. 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 40
