Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By (the wind) those sent (as horses') mane (in succession), 1 And those raging swiftly; 2 And [by] the winds that spread [clouds] 3 separating one from another, 4 Then spread abroad a Message, 5 to provide excuses for some and to give warnings to others: 6 Surely, what you are promised must come to pass. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 And when the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 when the mountains shall be scattered 10 And when the messengers' time has come... 11 For what Day was it postponed? 12 one will be told, "To the Day of Distinction". 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 Did We not destroy the former peoples? 16 Then We will follow them with the later ones. 17 Thus do We deal with the sinful ones. 18 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 19 Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?- 20 That is how We reward the good. 21 For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)? 22 We determined, how excellent a Determiner are We! 23 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 Both for 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 to those that give the lie to the Truth! 28 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns 30 "(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze. 31 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, 32 as black camels. 33 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 34 This is a day in which they will not be able to speak. 35 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. 36 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 37 That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together! 38 If now you have any strategy, use it against Me. 39 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 40
