Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the winds sent forth in swift succession, 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 and the rain-spreading winds, 3 And by the Verses (of the Quran) that separate the right from the wrong. 4 And those winds that bring down the remembrance. 5 excusing or warning, 6 that which you have been promised shall be fulfilled. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 The heavens split asunder, 9 And when the mountains are blown away, 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 For what day is it timed? 12 For the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false]! 13 Would that you knew about the Day of Judgment! 14 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients? 16 We will now cause the later ones to follow them: 17 Thus do We deal with the criminals. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? 20 and place it in a secure place 21 For a certain appointed time, 22 So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things). 23 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 24 Made We not the earth to be a housing 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)? 27 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 28 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 Depart unto the shadow three branched: 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 which - behold! - will throw up sparks like [burning] logs, 32 and yellow camels. 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 This is the day on which they shall not speak, 35 nor shall they be given permission, so that they can apologize. 36 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 37 That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together! 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 40
