Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 By the spreading winds spreading. 3 Then by those that clearly differentiate the right and wrong. 4 and those (angels) dropping, reminding 5 to excuse some and warn others: 6 surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! 7 So when the stars are extinguished, 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 and the mountains are blown away, 10 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 11 For what day is it timed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 14 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 15 Did We not destroy [so many of] those [sinners] of olden days? 16 We will now cause the later ones to follow them: 17 Thus deal We ever with the guilty. 18 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 19 Created We you not of water despicable, 20 and place it in a secure place 21 Till a limit known? 22 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine. 23 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected the revelations of God! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 The living and 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 the rejecters. 28 Walk on to that which you called a lie. 29 "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 And those that distinguish distinctly, 31 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, 32 sparks like to golden herds. 33 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 34 When the stars are obliterated, 35 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 37 That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together! 38 So if you have a plan, then plan against Me. 39 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 40
