Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another 1 And those raging swiftly; 2 by the scatterers scattering 3 Then separate them, one from another, 4 and those hurling a reminder 5 To end all argument or to warn. 6 that whatever with which you have been warned will inevitably come to pass. 7 Then when the stars lose their lights; 8 and when the sky is rent asunder, 9 The mountains reduced to dust and blown away, 10 and when the messengers are brought together at the appointed time -- 11 To what day is the doom fixed? 12 To the day of decision. 13 And what do you know, what the Day of Decision is! 14 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 Thereafter We shall cause to follow them the latter ones. 17 Thus do We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 19 Did We not create you from an insignificant drop of fluid 20 And We placed it in a firm lodging 21 For a known calculated term. 22 Then We facilitated (your birth). How well do We calculate! 23 Woe, on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 24 Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together. 25 The living and the dead, 26 And We placed high mountains as anchors in it and gave you sweet water to drink. 27 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 28 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 Depart to a triple-massing shadow 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 Verily it shall cast forth sparks like unto a castle. 32 and as bright as a herd of yellow camels. 33 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 34 On that Day they will be speechless, 35 nor be allowed to proffer excuses! 36 On that day, woe would be those who have rejected God's revelations! 37 This is the Day of Decision; We have gathered you and all the earlier men. 38 So if you have any ploy, try it against Me! 39 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 40
