Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the loosed ones successively 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force! 2 By the spreading winds spreading. 3 And by the Verses (of the Quran) that separate the right from the wrong. 4 by those who bring down the reminder, 5 As justification or warning, 6 surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! 7 Then the stars will lose their light. 8 and when the sky is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 For what Day was it postponed? 12 For the Day of sorting out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell). 13 How will you comprehend what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe on that day unto the beliers 15 Did We not destroy [so many of] those [sinners] of olden days? 16 and make others settle after them in their land? 17 This is how We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Created We you not of water despicable, 20 Then We lodged you in a secure place (the womb) 21 For a known calculated term. 22 So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things). 23 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 24 Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself, 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And placed in it lofty and broad stablisers, and gave you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 Proceed to that which you denied. 29 Depart unto the shadow three branched: 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles. 32 As if they were yellowish [black] camels. 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 This is a Day whereon they shall not be able to speak. 35 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 37 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be (you) and the earlier (generations). 38 So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now). 39 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 40
