Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 storming tempestuously 2 by (the angels) spreading (the words of God) far and wide, 3 separating one from another, 4 And those [angels] who deliver a message 5 excusing or warning, 6 Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass. 7 So when the lights of the stars are put out. 8 And when the sky is split apart. 9 And when the mountains are blown away; 10 The Messengers will receive their appointments. 11 To which Day has this task been deferred? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! - 14 On that day, woe will be to those who have rejected God's revelations! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 So shall We make the later ones to follow them. 17 Thus do We deal with the Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.)! 18 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 and place it in a secure place 21 till a known term decreed? 22 For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things). 23 Woe, on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle 25 For the living and the dead. 26 and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 28 Depart to that which you belied! 29 proceed towards the three-pronged shadow, 30 (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame. 31 that shoots sparks like dry faggots, 32 So like golden camels." 33 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 34 On that Day they will be speechless, 35 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. 36 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 37 This is the Day of Decision, We have assembled both ye and the ancients. 38 If you have any plans, use them. 39 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 40
