Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the winds sent forth with beneficence. 1 And by the winds that blow violently, 2 and the rain-spreading winds, 3 And placed in it lofty and broad stablisers, and gave you sweet water to drink? 4 And those [angels] who deliver a message 5 Whether of Justification or of Warning;- 6 surely that which you are promised is about to fall! 7 So when the stars are put out, 8 And when the sky is split apart. 9 And when the mountains are blown away; 10 and when the messengers are brought together at the appointed time -- 11 For what Day was it postponed? 12 To the Day of Judgement. 13 And what could make thee conceive what that Day of Distinction will be? 14 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients? 16 So shall We make later generations to follow them. 17 Thus do We deal with the criminals. 18 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 19 Did We not create you from an insignificant drop of fluid 20 Which We placed in a depository safe. 21 for an appointed term? 22 Thus have We determined [the nature of man's creation]: and excellent indeed is Our power to determine [what is to be]! 23 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 for both the living and the dead? 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and given you fresh water to drink? 27 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 28 GO ON towards that [resurrection] which you were wont to call a lie! 29 "Move towards the shadow of the smoke having three branches." 30 that will offer no [cooling] shade and will be of no avail against the flame 31 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 34 that Day on which they will not [be able to] utter a word, 35 nor will they be permitted to offer any excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 37 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; 38 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 40
