Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, 1 And by the winds that blow violently, 2 Consider these [messages] that spread [the truth] far and wide, 3 And those [angels] who bring criterion 4 Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation, 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 Verily that which ye are promised is about to befall. 7 When the stars lose their light, 8 And when the sky is split apart. 9 and when the mountains are scattered like dust, 10 And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed; 11 For what day is it timed? 12 one will be told, "To the Day of Distinction". 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 14 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 So shall We make the later ones to follow them. 17 So We serve the sinners. 18 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 19 Did We not create you from a base fluid 20 Then We lodged you in a secure place (the womb) 21 Till a limit known? 22 Thus We have determined the stages of development and Our power to determine is excellent indeed. 23 Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle 25 For the living and the dead among you? 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and filled you with sweet water? 27 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 28 (It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny; 29 "Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame. 31 Verily it shall cast forth sparks like unto a castle. 32 and yellow camels. 33 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 34 On that day they will not be able to speak, 35 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 36 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 37 that Day of Distinction [between the true and the false, when they will be told]: "We have brought you together with those [sinners] of olden times; 38 If now you have any strategy, use it against Me. 39 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 40
