Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
CONSIDER these [messages,] sent forth in waves 1 And those that strike violently, 2 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive; 3 And by the Verses (of the Quran) that separate the right from the wrong. 4 And those [angels] who deliver a message 5 As justification or warning, 6 surely that which you are promised is about to fall! 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 And when the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 and when the Messengers' time is set, 11 for what Day has this been appointed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 How will you comprehend what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 15 Destroyed We not the ancients? 16 We will now cause the later ones to follow them: 17 In this wise We do with the culprits. 18 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 19 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? 20 Then We lodged you in a secure place (the womb) 21 Till an appointed term, 22 We then calculated; so how excellently do We control! 23 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 24 Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself, 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water? 27 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 28 Proceed to that which you denied. 29 Go on towards the threefold shadow 30 which neither provides (cooling) shade nor protection against the flames; 31 it throws spits as (high as a huge) palace, 32 As if they were yellowish [black] camels. 33 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 34 This is a Day whereon they shall not be able to speak. 35 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse. 36 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 37 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be (you) and the earlier (generations). 38 If now you have any strategy, use it against Me. 39 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 40
