Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, 1 And those that strike violently, 2 And scatter (things) far and wide; 3 Then separate them, one from another, 4 and by those who reveal revelations (to the prophets) 5 As justification or warning, 6 Verily that which ye are promised is about to befall. 7 When the stars are obliterated, 8 When the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 The Messengers will receive their appointments. 11 For what day is the time appointed? 12 The Day of Judgement. 13 And what could make thee conceive what that Day of Distinction will be? 14 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the earlier peoples? 16 So shall We make later generations to follow them. 17 In this wise We do with the culprits. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Created We you not of water despicable, 20 Then We placed it in a secure resting-place, 21 till a known term decreed? 22 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! 23 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 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 (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false! 29 Depart into the shadow of three masses, 30 "Neither shading, nor of any use against the fierce flame of the Fire." 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 Seeming like yellow camels. 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 On that Day they will be speechless, 35 nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses. 36 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 37 This is the Day of Judgement. We have assembled you all together with past generations. 38 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 40
