Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
CONSIDER these [messages,] sent forth in waves 1 storming tempestuously 2 by (the angels) spreading (the words of God) far and wide, 3 Then by those that clearly differentiate the right and wrong. 4 by those who bring down the reminder, 5 To cut off all excuses or to warn; 6 Verily that which ye are promised is about to befall. 7 So when the lights of the stars are put out. 8 And when the heaven is opened 9 When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust; 10 and when the Messengers' time is set 11 to what day shall they be deferred? 12 The Day of Judgement. 13 How will you comprehend what the Day of Judgement is? 14 On that day, woe will be to those who have rejected God's revelations! 15 Did We not destroy the former peoples? 16 and make others settle after them in their land? 17 Thus deal We ever with the guilty. 18 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 19 Did We not create you from an insignificant drop of fluid 20 Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb), 21 till a known term decreed? 22 We determined; excellent determiners are We. 23 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 24 Have We not caused the earth to hold within itself 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 and did We not firmly fix towering mountains on it and give you sweet water to drink? 27 On that Day (of Judgment) woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 28 "Go to what you used to deny; 29 Depart to a triple-massing shadow 30 which neither provides (cooling) shade nor protection against the flames; 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 and yellow camels. 33 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 34 This is a Day whereon they shall not be able to speak. 35 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse. 36 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 37 That is the Day of Judgement on which We have assembled you as well as all those who went before you. 38 So if you have a plot, use it against Me (Allah)! 39 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 40
