Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By oath of those that are sent, one after the other. (The verses of the Holy Qur’an or the angels or the winds). 1 Then by oath of those that push with a strong gust. 2 And [by] the winds that spread [clouds] 3 And those that distinguish distinctly, 4 and then cast (Allah's) remembrance (in people's hearts), 5 To cut off all excuses or to warn; 6 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 And when the heaven is opened 9 And when the mountains are blown away, 10 And when the time of the Noble Messengers arrives. 11 For what day is the time appointed? 12 To the day of decision. 13 And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision? 14 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 15 Destroyed We not the ancients? 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 As such shall We deal with the sinners. 18 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 which We then placed in a secure repository 21 For a known extent. 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 to draw together to itself, 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 place on it high mountains and provide you with fresh water? 27 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 28 Proceed to that (the Day of Judgment) which you have rejected. 29 "Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame. 31 that shoots sparks like dry faggots, 32 and as bright as a herd of yellow camels. 33 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 34 This is a day wherein they speak not, 35 Nor given leave to make excuses. 36 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 37 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; 38 If now ye have any wit, outwit Me. 39 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 40
