Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the loosed ones successively 1 storming tempestuously 2 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive; 3 By those who winnow with a winnowing, 4 and by those who reveal revelations (to the prophets) 5 As justification or warning, 6 surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! 7 So when the stars are extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 The mountains will be blown away as dust. 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 For what day is it timed? 12 Nor given leave to make excuses. 13 How will you comprehend what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients? 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 Thus do We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 19 "Eat and drink with relish as reward for what you had done." 20 Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb), 21 For a certain appointed time, 22 We determined, how excellent a Determiner are We! 23 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 24 Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself, 25 for both 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 that give the lie to the Truth! 28 'Depart unto that which ye were wont to belie. 29 Go on towards the threefold shadow 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, 32 To end all argument or to warn. 33 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 34 They will not be able to speak that day, 35 Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas. 36 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 37 This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples. 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 40
