Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 storming tempestuously 2 And scatter (things) far and wide; 3 Then by those that clearly differentiate the right and wrong. 4 And then by those that instil Remembrance into the hearts. 5 As justification or warning, 6 Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. 7 When the stars lose their light, 8 And when the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 and the mountains scattered, 10 The Messengers will receive their appointments. 11 For what Day was it postponed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 Would that you knew what the Day of Decision is! 14 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 15 Have We not destroyed the earlier generations? 16 Then We will follow them with the later ones. 17 [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin. 18 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 19 Created We you not of water despicable, 20 And We placed it in a firm lodging 21 For a known calculated term. 22 So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things). 23 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected the revelations of God! 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 for the living and the dead? 26 And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water. 27 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 28 Walk on to that which you called a lie. 29 “Move towards the shadow of the smoke having three branches.” 30 Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame. 31 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 This is the Day they shall not speak, 35 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 36 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 37 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be (you) and the earlier (generations). 38 Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! 39 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 40
