Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), 1 by (the angels) as swift as blowing winds, 2 and the rain-spreading winds, 3 thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity, 4 and then giving forth a reminder, 5 to provide excuses for some and to give warnings to others: 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 Then when the stars lose their lights; 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 and the mountains are blown away, 10 And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed; 11 For what Day was it postponed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 14 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the ancient people 16 and make others settle after them in their land? 17 Thus do We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 19 Did We not create you out of a humble fluid 20 and place it in a secure place 21 For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)? 22 We then calculated; so how excellently do We control! 23 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 for the living and for the dead? 26 And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water? 27 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 28 Walk on to that which you called a lie. 29 Depart unto the shadow three branched: 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 The fire will shoot out sparks as big as huge towers 32 "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)." 33 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 34 This is a day in which they will not be able to speak. 35 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse. 36 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 37 That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)! 38 So if you have any ploy, try it against Me! 39 Woe on the day unto the beliers! 40
