Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another 1 And those that strike violently, 2 and by the scatterers scattering (rain) 3 Then separate them one from another, 4 and then cast (Allah's) remembrance (in people's hearts), 5 to serve as an excuse or a warning. 6 surely that which you are promised is about to fall! 7 So when the lights of the stars are put out. 8 And when the heaven is opened 9 and when the mountains are scattered like dust, 10 And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed; 11 For what day has the term [of all this] been set? 12 For the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false]! 13 And what knowest thou what the Day of Decision is? 14 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancient people 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 thus do We deal with the culprits. 18 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 that We laid within a sure lodging 21 Till an appointed term, 22 For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things). 23 Woe, on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a housing 25 for both the living and the dead? 26 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein? 27 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 Depart to a triple-massing shadow 30 Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame. 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 and as bright as a herd of yellow camels. 33 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 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 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 now ye have any craft, try that craft upon Me. 39 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 40
