Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By (the angels) sent forth with the commands of God, 1 storming tempestuously 2 Consider these [messages] that spread [the truth] far and wide, 3 separating one from another, 4 by those who bring down the reminder, 5 excusing or warning, 6 that which you have been promised shall be fulfilled. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 When the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 And when the mountains are made into dust and blown away. 10 And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed - 11 For what Day are these signs postponed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what do you know, 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 generations? 16 So shall We make the later ones to follow them. 17 Thus do We deal with men of sin. 18 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 19 Created We you not of water despicable, 20 Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb), 21 Till a limit known? 22 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle. 25 for the living and the dead? 26 Set We not therein soaring mountains? Sated you with sweetest water? 27 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 28 "Go to what you used to deny; 29 Proceed to a shadow rising in three columns: 30 unshading against the blazing flame 31 Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles. 32 Seeming like yellow camels. 33 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 34 This is a day in which they will not be able to speak. 35 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse. 36 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 37 This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore. 38 Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! 39 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 40
