Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), 1 And those raging swiftly; 2 Which scatter clouds to their destined places, 3 and the severally severing 4 Then spread abroad a Message, 5 excusing or warning, 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 And when the sky is split apart. 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 and when the messengers are brought together at the appointed time -- 11 to what day shall they be 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 the rejecters. 15 Did We not destroy the former generations? 16 Then We will follow them with the later ones. 17 So We serve the sinners. 18 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 19 Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?- 20 and place it in a secure place 21 for a term pre-ordained? 22 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine. 23 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 24 Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together. 25 for both the living and the dead? 26 And We placed high mountains as anchors in it and gave you sweet water to drink. 27 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 28 'Depart unto that which ye were wont to belie. 29 "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 Verily it shall cast forth sparks like unto a castle. 32 As if they were yellowish [black] camels. 33 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 34 This is a day wherein they speak not, 35 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 36 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 37 This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together. 38 If you have any plans, use them. 39 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 40
