Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By (the angels) sent forth with the commands of God, 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive; 3 Then separate them one from another, 4 By those who bring down the Reminder, 5 By way of excuse or warning. 6 Indeed what you are promised, will surely befall. 7 When the stars lose their light, 8 when heaven shall be split 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 And when the time comes for messengers to meet -- 11 For which day were they appointed? 12 one will be told, "To the Day of Distinction". 13 And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? 14 Woe on that day unto the beliers 15 Destroyed We not the ancients? 16 So shall We make later (generations) follow them. 17 [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin. 18 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 19 Did We not create you from an insignificant drop of fluid 20 And We placed it in a firm lodging 21 For a known extent. 22 Thus did We Plan and how excellent is Our planning! 23 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 24 Made We not the earth to be a housing 25 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 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns 30 Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame. 31 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, 32 As if they were yellowish [black] camels. 33 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 34 That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak. 35 neither be given leave, and excuse themselves. 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 This is the Day of Decision; We have gathered you and all the earlier men. 38 If now ye have any craft, try that craft upon Me. 39 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 40
