Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the (winds) sent forth in quick succession, 1 And those raging swiftly; 2 And [by] the winds that spread [clouds] 3 separating one from another, 4 And those winds that bring down the remembrance. 5 As justification or warning, 6 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur. 7 When the stars shall be extinguished, 8 and when the sky is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed; 11 To what day is the doom fixed? 12 For the Day of Judgement. 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 14 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 So shall We make later generations to follow them. 17 As such shall We deal with the sinners. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you from a worthless water (semen, etc.)? 20 which We then let remain in [the womb's] firm keeping 21 For a known term? 22 See that We had the power to do so. Great indeed is Our power to do what We will. 23 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 24 Have We not made the earth a repository 25 The living and the dead, 26 and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink? 27 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 Proceed to that shadow, rising in three columns 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 that shoots sparks like dry faggots, 32 which seem as though they are yellow-coloured camels. 33 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 34 They will not be able to speak that day, 35 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 This is the Day of Decision; We have gathered you and all the earlier men. 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 40
