Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the loosed ones successively 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force, 2 Then by oath of those that lift and carry. 3 And those [angels] who bring criterion 4 and then cast (Allah's) remembrance (in people's hearts), 5 to serve as an excuse or a warning. 6 Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 And when the heaven is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 and the appointed time to bring the Messengers together arrives, (then shall the promised event come to pass). 11 For what day is that time fixed? 12 For the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false]! 13 And what could make thee conceive what that Day of Distinction will be? 14 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the ancient people 16 We shall then send the latter after them. 17 Even thus shall We deal with the guilty. 18 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 and place it in a secure place 21 For a known period (determined by gestation)? 22 Eat and enjoy for a while: You are certainly sinners. 23 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected the revelations of God! 24 Have We not made the earth a housing 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water. 27 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 28 'Depart unto that which ye were wont to belie. 29 And those that revive by quickening, 30 wherein there is neither shade, nor freeing from the blazing flames 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 sparks like to golden herds. 33 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 34 This is the day they shall not speak 35 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. 36 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 37 That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)! 38 If you now have any conspiracy, carry it out on Me. 39 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 40
