Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
CONSIDER these [messages,] sent forth in waves 1 And those that strike violently, 2 by (the angels) spreading (the words of God) far and wide, 3 By those who winnow with a winnowing, 4 and those hurling a reminder 5 To end all argument or to warn. 6 surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 and when the sky is rent asunder 9 when the mountains shall be scattered 10 And when the time of the Noble Messengers arrives. 11 For what Day are these (portents) deferred? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 What will explain to you what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 15 Did We not destroy the ancient people 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 Thus deal We ever with the guilty. 18 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 19 Did We not create you from a weak water, 20 Which We laid up in a safe abode 21 For a known term? 22 Thus have We determined [the nature of man's creation]: and excellent indeed is Our power to determine [what is to be]! 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Have We not made the earth a container 25 for both 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 “Move towards what you used to deny!” 29 Depart into the shadow of three masses, 30 unshading against the blazing flame 31 and throwing up sparks as huge as towers 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 34 This is the day they shall not speak 35 nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses. 36 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 37 That is the Day of Judgment. We will bring you together with all the ancient peoples. 38 If you now have any conspiracy, carry it out on Me. 39 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 40
