Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the loosed ones successively 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain; 3 Then separate them one from another, 4 Then spread abroad a Message, 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 When the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 So like golden camels." 10 And when the time of the Noble Messengers arrives. 11 For which day were they appointed? 12 one will be told, "To the Day of Distinction". 13 And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out? 14 Woe on that day unto the beliers 15 Did We not destroy the ancient people 16 and make others settle after them in their land? 17 Thus do We deal with the criminals. 18 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 19 Did We not create you of a mean fluid, 20 Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb), 21 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 22 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine. 23 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle, 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 unto the repudiators on that day! 28 'Depart unto that which ye were wont to belie. 29 Depart into the shadow of three masses, 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 Verily it shall cast forth sparks like unto a castle. 32 (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. 33 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 34 That will be a Day when they shall not speak (during some part of it), 35 nor will they be permitted to offer any excuses. 36 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 37 And when the time comes for messengers -- 38 So if you have any ploy, try it against Me! 39 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 40
