Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By (the angels) sent forth with the commands of God, 1 storming tempestuously 2 And those that revive by quickening, 3 Then by those that clearly differentiate the right and wrong. 4 And those [angels] who deliver a message 5 to provide excuses for some and to give warnings to others: 6 BEHOLD, all that you are told to expect will surely come to pass. 7 When the stars are extinguished, 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 and the mountains are blown away, 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 to what day shall they be delayed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! - 14 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the former peoples? 16 and let the latter follow them? 17 Those who take heed for themselves and fear God, will be amidst shade and springs of water, 18 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 19 Did We not create you from an abject fluid? 20 We then kept it in a safe place. 21 for an appointed term? 22 So We decreed. How excellent are We as decreers! 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle, 25 The living and the dead, 26 And We placed high mountains as anchors in it and gave you sweet water to drink. 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 Walk on to that which you called a lie. 29 Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns 30 affording neither shade, nor protection from the flames, 31 it throws spits as (high as a huge) palace, 32 which seem as though they are yellow-coloured camels. 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 They will not be able to speak that day, 35 neither be given leave, and excuse themselves. 36 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 37 This is the Day of Decision; We have gathered you and all the earlier men. 38 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 40
