Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 Consider these [messages] that spread [the truth] far and wide, 3 And those that distinguish distinctly, 4 By those who bring down the Reminder, 5 excusing or warning, 6 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur. 7 When the stars shall be extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 The mountains will be blown away as dust. 10 and when the messengers are brought together at the appointed time -- 11 For what day is it timed? 12 For the Day of Sorting out. 13 And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out? 14 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 15 Have We not destroyed the earlier generations? 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 So We serve the sinners. 18 On that day, woe upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 19 Did We not create you of a mean fluid, 20 Then We placed it in a secure resting-place, 21 Till an appointed term, 22 So We proportion it-- how well are We at proportioning (things). 23 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 24 Have We not caused the earth to hold within itself 25 for the living and the dead? 26 And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)? 27 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 28 Walk on to that which you called a lie. 29 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, 30 “Which neither gives shade, nor saves from the flame.” 31 The fire will shoot out sparks as big as huge towers 32 (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. 33 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 34 This is the day on which they shall not speak, 35 Nor given leave to make excuses. 36 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 37 This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples. 38 If now ye have any wit, outwit Me. 39 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 40
