Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By (the angels) sent forth with the commands of God, 1 which then blow tempestuously 2 Which scatter clouds to their destined places, 3 separating one from another, 4 And then by those that instil Remembrance into the hearts. 5 To complete the argument or to warn. 6 Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. 7 So when the stars are put out, 8 It will throw out sparks as logs of wood 9 And when the mountains are made into dust and blown away. 10 And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed; 11 for what Day has this been appointed? 12 For the Day of Judgement. 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 14 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 15 Destroyed We not the former folk, 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 As such shall We deal with the sinners. 18 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 Then We placed it in a secure resting-place, 21 for an appointed time? 22 Thus We have determined the stages of development and Our power to determine is excellent indeed. 23 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle, 25 Of the living and the dead? 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and filled you with sweet water? 27 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 28 Proceed to that which you denied. 29 "Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame. 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 Seeming like yellow camels. 33 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 34 This is a day wherein they speak not, 35 Nor will they be given permission to present excuses. 36 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 37 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; 38 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 40
