Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force, 2 And scatter (things) far and wide; 3 thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity, 4 and then giving forth a reminder, 5 excusing or warning, 6 Surely, what you are promised must come to pass. 7 When the stars are extinguished, 8 and the sky is rent asunder, 9 The mountains will be blown away as dust. 10 And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed - 11 For what day is that time fixed? 12 The Day of Judgement. 13 And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision? 14 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients, 16 So shall We make the later ones to follow them. 17 In this wise We do with the culprits. 18 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 19 Did We not create you from a humble fluid, 20 that We laid within a sure lodging 21 till a known term decreed? 22 So We decreed. How excellent are We as decreers! 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 for both the living and the dead? 26 place on it high mountains and provide you with fresh water? 27 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 28 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 "Move towards the shadow of the smoke having three branches." 30 which neither provides (cooling) shade nor protection against the flames; 31 Verily! It (Hell) throws sparks (huge) as Al-Qasr [a fort or a Qasr (huge log of wood)], 32 To end all argument or to warn. 33 What is promised will surely come to pass. 34 that Day on which they will not [be able to] utter a word, 35 Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas. 36 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 37 that Day of Distinction [between the true and the false, when they will be told]: "We have brought you together with those [sinners] of olden times; 38 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 40
