Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the winds sent forth with beneficence. 1 And by the winds that blow violently, 2 Then by oath of those that lift and carry. 3 And placed in it lofty and broad stablisers, and gave you sweet water to drink? 4 Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation, 5 To clear or to warn. 6 BEHOLD, all that you are told to expect will surely come to pass. 7 When the stars are extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is opened 9 And when the mountains are blown away; 10 And when the messengers' time has come... 11 For what Day are these (portents) deferred? 12 To the Day of Decision. 13 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 14 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)? 16 Thereafter We shall cause to follow them the latter ones. 17 This is how We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 19 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? 20 then placed it in a secure repository [the womb], 21 For a certain appointed time, 22 For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things). 23 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle, 25 For the living and the dead. 26 And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water? 27 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 28 [They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny. 29 Depart into the shadow of three masses, 30 unshading against the blazing flame 31 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, 32 sparks like to golden herds. 33 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 34 They will not be able to speak that day, 35 nor be allowed to proffer excuses! 36 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 37 And when the time comes for messengers -- 38 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 40
