Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force! 2 by the scatterers scattering 3 And those [angels] who bring criterion 4 And those winds that bring down the remembrance. 5 Whether of Justification or of Warning;- 6 surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 And when the heaven is rent asunder, 9 and the mountains scattered, 10 The Messengers will receive their appointments. 11 to what day shall they be deferred? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? 14 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 15 Did We not destroy the former generations? 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 Thus do We deal with the criminals. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you from a humble fluid, 20 Then We lodged you in a secure place (the womb) 21 For a known extent. 22 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine. 23 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 24 Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself, 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 Set We not therein soaring mountains? Sated you with sweetest water? 27 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 28 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 "Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 that will offer no [cooling] shade and will be of no avail against the flame 31 Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress, 32 like giant fiery ropes! 33 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 34 This is a day wherein they speak not, 35 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 36 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 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 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 40
