Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allah) sent forth one after another. 1 storming tempestuously 2 And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain; 3 then the criterion (the verses of Koran), separating 4 And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers, 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! 7 When the stars shall be extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is opened 9 and when the mountains crumble into dust 10 And when the time comes for messengers to meet -- 11 For what Day are these signs postponed? 12 one will be told, "To the Day of Distinction". 13 Would that you knew what the Day of Decision is! 14 On that day, woe will be to those who have rejected God's revelations! 15 Did We not destroy [so many of] those [sinners] of olden days? 16 So shall We make the later ones to follow them. 17 Thus deal We ever with the guilty. 18 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 19 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? 20 That is how We reward the good. 21 For a known term? 22 Eat and enjoy for a while: You are certainly sinners. 23 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 24 Have We not caused the earth to hold within itself 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein? 27 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 28 "Move towards what you used to deny!" 29 Walk on to the covering having three branches, 30 (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame. 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 as black camels. 33 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 34 This is a Day whereon they shall not be able to speak. 35 Nor will they be given permission to present excuses. 36 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 37 This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together. 38 If you have any plans, use them. 39 Woe on the day unto the beliers! 40
