Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the winds sent forth in swift succession, 1 which then blow tempestuously 2 by the scatterers scattering 3 By those who winnow with a winnowing, 4 And those winds that bring down the remembrance. 5 To cut off all excuses or to warn; 6 BEHOLD, all that you are told to expect will surely come to pass. 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 And when the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 For which day were they appointed? 12 Upon the Day of Decision! 13 And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out? 14 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the former generations? 16 Thereafter We shall cause to follow them the latter ones. 17 Those who take heed for themselves and fear God, will be amidst shade and springs of water, 18 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 19 Did We not create you from a base fluid 20 Which We placed in a depository safe. 21 For a known extent. 22 We determined; excellent determiners are We. 23 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected the revelations of God! 24 Have We not made the earth a housing 25 for the living and the dead? 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and filled you with sweet water? 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 "Go to what you used to deny; 29 Depart to a triple-massing shadow 30 affording neither shade, nor protection from the flames, 31 Verily it shall cast forth sparks like unto a castle. 32 As if they were Jimalatun Sufr (yellow camels or bundles of ropes)." 33 What is promised will surely come to pass. 34 that Day on which they will not [be able to] utter a word, 35 Nor will they be given permission to present excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples. 38 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 40
