Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the winds sent forth with beneficence. 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 Which scatter clouds to their destined places, 3 Then separate them, one from another, 4 and those hurling a reminder 5 By way of excuse or warning. 6 Surely what you are promised shall come to pass. 7 Then when the stars lose their lights; 8 and when the sky is rent asunder, 9 The mountains will be blown away as dust. 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 For what day is that time fixed? 12 For the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false]! 13 And what knowest thou what the Day of Decision is? 14 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients, 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 Even thus shall We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 19 Did We not create you out of a humble fluid 20 Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb), 21 until an 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 for the living and the dead? 26 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein? 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 Depart unto the shadow three branched: 30 Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame. 31 Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress, 32 and as bright as a herd of yellow camels. 33 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 34 This is the day they shall not speak 35 Nor shall they be permitted so that they might excuse themselves. 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 This is the Day of Judgement. We have assembled you all together with past generations. 38 If you now have any conspiracy, carry it out on Me. 39 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 40
