Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the winds sent forth with beneficence. 1 storming tempestuously 2 And those that revive by quickening, 3 By those who winnow with a winnowing, 4 and those (angels) dropping, reminding 5 to provide excuses for some and to give warnings to others: 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 The heavens split asunder, 9 and the mountains scattered, 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 To which Day has this task been deferred? 12 one will be told, "To the Day of Distinction". 13 And what do you know, what the Day of Decision is! 14 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 15 Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)? 16 We shall then send the latter after them. 17 Thus do We deal with the criminals. 18 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed, 21 for an appointed term? 22 Then We facilitated (your birth). How well do We calculate! 23 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle? 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water? 27 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 28 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 Depart to a triple-massing shadow 30 “Which neither gives shade, nor saves from the flame.” 31 The fire will shoot out sparks as big as huge towers 32 Seeming like yellow camels. 33 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 nor be allowed to proffer excuses! 36 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 37 Such is the Day of Decision. We will gather you with the ancients. 38 If now ye have any craft, try that craft upon Me. 39 Woe on the day unto the beliers! 40
