Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the winds sent forth with beneficence. 1 which then blow tempestuously 2 Which scatter clouds to their destined places, 3 then winnow them thoroughly, 4 And then by those that instil Remembrance into the hearts. 5 excusing or warning, 6 Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass. 7 When the stars lose their light, 8 And when the heaven is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 and the appointed time to bring the Messengers together arrives, (then shall the promised event come to pass). 11 For what day is the time appointed? 12 For the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false]! 13 And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out? 14 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 15 Destroyed We not the ancients? 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 Thus do We deal with the sinful ones. 18 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 19 Did We not create you from an insignificant drop of fluid 20 and place it in a secure place 21 For a certain appointed time, 22 Thus did We Plan and how excellent is Our planning! 23 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected the revelations of God! 24 Made We not the earth to be a housing 25 Of the living and the dead? 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and filled you with sweet water? 27 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 28 “Move towards what you used to deny!” 29 Proceed to a shadow rising in three columns: 30 which neither gives shade nor protects one from the flames. 31 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, 32 as black camels. 33 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 34 This is the Day they shall not speak, 35 Nor shall they be permitted so that they might excuse themselves. 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 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 40
