Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 And those that strike violently, 2 And those that revive by quickening, 3 separating one from another, 4 And those that bring down the Reminder 5 To clear or to warn. 6 Verily that which ye are promised is about to befall. 7 When the stars are obliterated, 8 and when the sky is rent asunder, 9 and the mountains are blown away, 10 and when the Messengers' time is set 11 For what day is the time appointed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 What do you know what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the earlier peoples? 16 and then follow them with the later folk? 17 Thus do We deal with the criminals. 18 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed, 21 For a certain appointed time, 22 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine. 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 And have placed therein firm and tall mountains and given you to drink of water fresh 27 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 28 'Depart unto that which ye were wont to belie. 29 proceed towards the three-pronged shadow, 30 unshading against the blazing flame 31 which - behold! - will throw up sparks like [burning] logs, 32 As if they were yellowish [black] camels. 33 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 34 On that day they will not be able to speak, 35 Nor given leave to make excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 37 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be (you) and the earlier (generations). 38 If now ye have any wit, outwit Me. 39 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 40
