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 those raging swiftly; 2 Which scatter clouds to their destined places, 3 thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity, 4 Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation, 5 To complete the argument or to warn. 6 What is promised will surely come to pass. 7 So when the lights of the stars are put out. 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 The mountains will be blown away as dust. 10 And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed; 11 To what day is the doom fixed? 12 For the Day of Sorting out. 13 And what do you know, what the Day of Decision is! 14 Woe on that day unto the beliers 15 Did We not destroy many a nation of the earlier times? 16 So shall We make later generations to follow them. 17 Thus do We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 19 Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?- 20 We then kept it in a safe place. 21 Till an appointed term, 22 We then calculated; so how excellently do We control! 23 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink? 27 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 28 "Go to what you used to deny; 29 Depart unto the shadow three branched: 30 that will offer no [cooling] shade and will be of no avail against the flame 31 "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts, 32 So like golden camels." 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 Nor given leave to make excuses. 36 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 37 This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together. 38 If now ye have any craft, try that craft upon Me. 39 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 40
