Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), 1 And those raging swiftly; 2 and the rain-spreading winds, 3 thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity, 4 and those (angels) dropping, reminding 5 To clear or to warn. 6 that which you have been promised shall be fulfilled. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 and when the sky is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 and when all the apostles are called together at a time appointed... 11 To which Day has this task been deferred? 12 For the Day of Judgement. 13 How will you comprehend what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 Then did We follow them up with later ones. 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 out of a humble fluid 20 which We then placed in a secure repository 21 For a known calculated term. 22 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine. 23 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 for the living and for the dead? 26 And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water. 27 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 28 (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false! 29 "Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 which neither gives shade nor protects one from the flames. 31 It will throw out sparks as logs of wood 32 As if they were Jimalatun Sufr (yellow camels or bundles of ropes)." 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 This is the Day they shall not speak, 35 And they will not be permitted to put forth any excuse. 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 And when the time comes for messengers -- 38 So if you have any ploy, try it against Me! 39 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 40
