Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allah) sent forth one after another. 1 Then by oath of those that push with a strong gust. 2 and the rain-spreading winds, 3 thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity, 4 By those who bring down the Reminder, 5 As justification or warning, 6 surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! 7 Then when the stars lose their lights; 8 when heaven shall be split 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 And when the time of the Noble Messengers arrives. 11 for what Day has this been appointed? 12 For the Day of Sorting out. 13 What will explain to you what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 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 Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.)! 18 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 19 Did We not create you from an abject fluid? 20 And We placed it in a firm lodging 21 for an appointed time? 22 So We decreed. How excellent are We as decreers! 23 Woe, on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a container 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)? 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 “Move towards what you used to deny!” 29 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, 30 which neither provides (cooling) shade nor protection against the flames; 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 As if they were yellowish [black] camels. 33 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 34 This is a day wherein they speak not, 35 nor be allowed to proffer excuses! 36 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 37 That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together! 38 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 40
