Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force, 2 and by the scatterers scattering (rain) 3 And the scattering winds scattering. 4 And those winds that bring down the remembrance. 5 By way of excuse or warning. 6 Surely, what you are promised must come to pass. 7 So when the stars are obliterated 8 And when the heaven is opened 9 and the mountains are blown away, 10 and when the messengers are brought together at the appointed time -- 11 For what Day are these (portents) deferred? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 Would that you knew about the Day of Judgment! 14 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 15 Did We not destroy the former peoples? 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 As such shall We deal with the sinners. 18 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 19 Created We you not of water despicable, 20 which We then placed in a secure repository 21 For a known calculated term. 22 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine. 23 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 24 Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together. 25 For the living and the dead among you? 26 and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 28 "Go to what you used to deny; 29 Go to the shadow with three ramifications, 30 affording neither shade, nor protection from the flames, 31 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, 32 (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. 33 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 34 This is a day in which they will not be able to speak. 35 Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas. 36 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 37 That is the Day of Judgment. We will bring you together with all the ancient peoples. 38 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 40
