Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the loosed ones successively 1 storming tempestuously 2 Then by oath of those that lift and carry. 3 separating one from another, 4 And those [angels] who deliver a message 5 As justification or warning, 6 surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 The heavens split asunder, 9 and when the mountains are scattered like dust, 10 The Messengers will receive their appointments. 11 to what day shall they be delayed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 Would that you knew what the Day of Decision is! 14 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 15 Did We not destroy the former peoples? 16 And We shall cause those of later times to follow them. 17 Thus do We deal with men of sin. 18 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 which We then let remain in [the womb's] firm keeping 21 till a known term decreed? 22 Then We facilitated (your birth). How well do We calculate! 23 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle, 25 The living and the dead, 26 And We placed high mountains as anchors in it and gave you sweet water to drink. 27 On that Day (of Judgment) woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 28 Walk on to that which you called a lie. 29 Walk on to the covering having three branches, 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 The fire will shoot out sparks as big as huge towers 32 and yellow camels. 33 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 34 This is the Day they shall not speak, 35 nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses. 36 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 37 Such is the Day of Decision. We will gather you with the ancients. 38 Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! 39 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 40
