Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By (the wind) those sent (as horses') mane (in succession), 1 by (the angels) as swift as blowing winds, 2 And those that revive by quickening, 3 and the severally severing 4 and then giving forth a reminder, 5 To clear or to warn. 6 What is promised will surely come to pass. 7 When the stars shall be extinguished, 8 The heavens split asunder, 9 and the mountains are blown away, 10 and when the Messengers' time is set 11 For what Day are these (portents) deferred? 12 The Day of Judgement. 13 And what could make thee conceive what that Day of Distinction will be? 14 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 15 Destroyed We not the ancients? 16 We shall then send the latter after them. 17 So We serve the sinners. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you from a weak water, 20 Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb), 21 For a known period (determined by gestation)? 22 Thus have We determined [the nature of man's creation]: and excellent indeed is Our power to determine [what is to be]! 23 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 24 Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself, 25 The living and the dead, 26 And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water? 27 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 28 [They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny. 29 Depart to a triple-massing shadow 30 which neither gives shade nor protects one from the flames. 31 "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts, 32 (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. 33 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 34 On that day they will not be able to speak, 35 Nor given leave to make excuses. 36 On that day, woe would be those who have rejected God's revelations! 37 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; 38 If you have any plans, use them. 39 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 40
