Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force, 2 And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain; 3 And placed in it lofty and broad stablisers, and gave you sweet water to drink? 4 and then giving forth a reminder, 5 Whether of Justification or of Warning;- 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 So when the lights of the stars are put out. 8 and when the sky is rent asunder 9 And when the mountains are blown away; 10 And when the messengers' time has come... 11 to what day shall they be delayed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 14 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 So shall We make the later ones to follow them. 17 So We serve the sinners. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb), 21 For a known term? 22 We then calculated; so how excellently do We control! 23 Woe, on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a repository 25 For the living and the dead among you? 26 and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 28 "Move towards what you used to deny!" 29 Proceed to that shadow, rising in three columns 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts, 32 As if they were tawny camels. 33 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 34 That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak. 35 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 that Day of Distinction [between the true and the false, when they will be told]: "We have brought you together with those [sinners] of olden times; 38 So if you have any ploy, try it against Me! 39 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 40
