Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By (the wind) those sent (as horses') mane (in succession), 1 And by the winds that blow violently, 2 Consider these [messages] that spread [the truth] far and wide, 3 then winnow them thoroughly, 4 by those who bring down the reminder, 5 to excuse some and warn others: 6 Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass. 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 when heaven shall be split 9 When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust; 10 and when the Messengers' time is set 11 For what Day was it postponed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? 14 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 15 Have We not destroyed the earlier generations? 16 And We shall cause those of later times to follow them. 17 Thus do We deal with the criminals. 18 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 19 Did We not create you of a mean fluid, 20 then placed it in a secure repository [the womb], 21 for an appointed time? 22 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Made We not the earth to be a housing 25 Of the living and the dead? 26 place on it high mountains and provide you with fresh water? 27 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 28 [They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny. 29 Go to the shadow with three ramifications, 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 as black camels. 33 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 34 that Day on which they will not [be able to] utter a word, 35 And they will not be permitted to put forth any excuse. 36 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 37 Such is the Day of Decision. We will gather you with the ancients. 38 So if you have a plot, use it against Me (Allah)! 39 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 40
