Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the winds sent forth with beneficence. 1 storming tempestuously 2 And [by] the winds that spread [clouds] 3 And those [angels] who bring criterion 4 And those winds that bring down the remembrance. 5 To cut off all excuses or to warn; 6 surely that which you are promised is about to fall! 7 So when the stars are obliterated 8 And when the sky is split apart. 9 and the mountains scattered, 10 And when the time of the Noble Messengers arrives. 11 To which Day has this task been deferred? 12 To the day of decision. 13 What do you know what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth. 15 Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)? 16 We shall then send the latter after them. 17 Thus do We deal with men of sin. 18 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 Which We placed in a depository safe. 21 till a known term decreed? 22 We determined; excellent determiners are We. 23 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle 25 For the living and the dead. 26 And placed in it lofty and broad stablisers, and gave you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 28 “Move towards what you used to deny!” 29 Proceed to a shadow rising in three columns: 30 affording neither shade, nor protection from the flames, 31 "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts, 32 As if they were yellowish [black] camels. 33 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 34 This is a day wherein they speak not, 35 nor be allowed to proffer excuses! 36 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 37 That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)! 38 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Woe on the day unto the beliers! 40
