Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit); 1 storming tempestuously 2 And scatter (things) far and wide; 3 And those [angels] who bring criterion 4 and those hurling a reminder 5 To cut off all excuses or to warn; 6 surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! 7 Then when the stars lose their lights; 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 And when the mountains are blown away; 10 And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);- 11 to what day shall they be deferred? 12 For the Day of Sorting out. 13 And what knowest thou what the Day of Decision is? 14 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 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 on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 Which We laid up in a safe abode 21 till a known term decreed? 22 For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things). 23 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 24 Made We not the earth to be a housing 25 for the living and for the dead? 26 and did We not firmly fix towering mountains on it and give you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 Walk on to that which you called a lie. 29 "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 unshading against the blazing flame 31 It will throw out sparks as logs of wood 32 So like golden camels." 33 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 34 That will be a Day when they shall not speak (during some part of it), 35 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 36 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 37 That is the Day of Judgement on which We have assembled you as well as all those who went before you. 38 Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! 39 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 40
