Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By (the wind) those sent (as horses') mane (in succession), 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 By the spreading winds spreading. 3 and the severally severing 4 Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation, 5 to provide excuses for some and to give warnings to others: 6 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur. 7 Thus, [it will come to pass] when the stars are effaced, 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 The mountains reduced to dust and blown away, 10 And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time 11 For what day is that time fixed? 12 Upon the Day of Decision! 13 Would that you knew about the Day of Judgment! 14 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth. 15 Did We not destroy the ancients? 16 Then did We follow them up with later ones. 17 That is what We shall do to those who are guilty of crime. 18 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 19 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? 20 then placed it in a secure repository [the womb], 21 for an appointed term? 22 We determined, how excellent a Determiner are We! 23 Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle? 25 for both 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 the rejecters. 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns 30 which neither gives shade nor protects one from the flames. 31 Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress, 32 Seeming like yellow camels. 33 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 34 This is the day on which they shall not speak, 35 nor be allowed to proffer excuses! 36 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 37 This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore. 38 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 40
