Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, 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 spread [clouds] 3 And the scattering winds scattering. 4 And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers, 5 to excuse some and warn others: 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 when heaven shall be split 9 and the mountains are blown away, 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 to what day shall they be delayed? 12 To the Day of Decision. 13 How will you comprehend what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 15 Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)? 16 So shall We make later (generations) follow them. 17 As such shall We deal with the sinners. 18 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 19 Did We not create you from an abject fluid? 20 and place it in a secure place 21 Till an appointed term, 22 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! 23 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein? 27 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 28 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 Walk on to the covering having three branches, 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles. 32 (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. 33 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 34 On that Day they will be speechless, 35 Nor given leave to make excuses. 36 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 37 Such is the Day of Decision. We will gather you with the ancients. 38 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 40
