Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By (the angels) sent forth with the commands of God, 1 Then by oath of those that push with a strong gust. 2 And those that revive by quickening, 3 and the severally severing 4 and those (angels) dropping, reminding 5 As justification or warning, 6 Surely, what you are promised must come to pass. 7 So when the lights of the stars are put out. 8 And when the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 The mountains reduced to dust and blown away, 10 and when the Messengers' time is set 11 To which Day has this task been deferred? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 14 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 We shall then send the latter after 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 contemptible water? 20 then placed it in a secure repository [the womb], 21 For a certain appointed time, 22 Thus have We determined [the nature of man's creation]: and excellent indeed is Our power to determine [what is to be]! 23 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 24 Have We not made the earth a repository 25 Of the living and the dead? 26 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein? 27 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 28 GO ON towards that [resurrection] which you were wont to call a lie! 29 Proceed to that shadow, rising in three columns 30 affording neither shade, nor protection from the flames, 31 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 34 This is a day in which they will not be able to speak. 35 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be (you) and the earlier (generations). 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
