Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force, 2 by (the angels) spreading (the words of God) far and wide, 3 Then separate them one from another, 4 and those (angels) dropping, reminding 5 As justification or warning, 6 Indeed what you are promised, will surely befall. 7 So when the stars are extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust; 10 And when the time comes for raising the little girls (buried alive) -- 11 For which day were they appointed? 12 The Day of Judgement. 13 And what do you know, what the Day of Decision is! 14 On that day, woe will be to those who have rejected God's revelations! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients, 16 So shall We make the later ones to follow them. 17 thus do We deal with the culprits. 18 On that day, woe upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 19 Did We not create you from an abject fluid? 20 that We laid within a sure lodging 21 For a known calculated term. 22 Thus We have determined the stages of development and Our power to determine is excellent indeed. 23 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 24 Have We not caused the earth to hold within itself 25 The living and the dead, 26 And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water? 27 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 and throwing up sparks as huge as towers 32 So like golden camels." 33 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 34 This is the day they shall not speak 35 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. 36 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 37 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be (you) and the earlier (generations). 38 So if you have a plan, then plan against Me. 39 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 40
