Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the winds sent forth with beneficence. 1 which then blow tempestuously 2 And scatter (things) far and wide; 3 Then separate them one from another, 4 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 5 "Go to what you used to deny; 6 Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass. 7 So when the stars are made to lose their light, 8 When the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 and when the mountains crumble into dust 10 and when the Messengers' time is set, 11 To which Day has this task been deferred? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision? 14 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 15 Destroyed We not the ancients? 16 We shall then send the latter after them. 17 This is how We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 19 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? 20 which We placed within a sure lodging 21 Till an appointed term, 22 Thus did We Plan and how excellent is Our planning! 23 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected the revelations of God! 24 Did We not make the earth a receptacle, 25 For the living and the dead. 26 And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water? 27 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 28 And those that strike violently, 29 Depart to a triple-massing shadow 30 affording neither shade, nor protection from the flames, 31 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, 32 As if they were tawny camels. 33 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 36 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 37 That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)! 38 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 40
