Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), 1 by (the angels) as swift as blowing winds, 2 Then by oath of those that lift and carry. 3 And those [angels] who bring criterion 4 And those [angels] who deliver a message 5 excusing or warning, 6 Verily that which ye are promised is about to befall. 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 When the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time 11 To which Day has this task been deferred? 12 Upon the Day of Decision! 13 And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out? 14 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 15 Destroyed We not the ancients? 16 So shall We make the later ones to follow them. 17 That is what We shall do to those who are guilty of crime. 18 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 We then kept it in a safe place. 21 For a known extent. 22 Then We facilitated (your birth). How well do We calculate! 23 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water. 27 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 28 Depart to that which you belied! 29 Walk on to the covering having three branches, 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, 32 As if they were Jimalatun Sufr (yellow camels or bundles of ropes)." 33 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 34 On that day they will not be able to speak, 35 nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses. 36 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 37 Such is the Day of Decision. We will gather you with the ancients. 38 Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! 39 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 40
