Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the winds sent forth with beneficence. 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force! 2 and the rain-spreading winds, 3 and the severally severing 4 And then by those that instil Remembrance into the hearts. 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. 7 So when the stars are extinguished, 8 And when the sky is split apart. 9 And when the mountains are blown away, 10 And when the time comes for raising the little girls (buried alive) -- 11 If one asks, "To which day have such calamitous events been postponed?" 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? 14 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 15 Did We not destroy the former generations? 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin. 18 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 19 Created We you not of water despicable, 20 The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed, 21 for an appointed time? 22 Then We facilitated (your birth). How well do We calculate! 23 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 For the living and the dead among you? 26 And have placed therein firm and tall mountains and given you to drink of water fresh 27 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 28 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 Depart to a triple-massing shadow 30 “Which neither gives shade, nor saves from the flame.” 31 The fire will shoot out sparks as big as huge towers 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 34 On that Day they will be speechless, 35 nor shall they be given permission, so that they can apologize. 36 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 37 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; 38 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 40
