Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force, 2 And [by] the winds that spread [clouds] 3 separating one from another, 4 and those hurling a reminder 5 Whether of Justification or of Warning;- 6 Indeed what you are promised, will surely befall. 7 Then when the stars lose their lights; 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 when the mountains shall be scattered 10 and when the messengers are brought together at the appointed time -- 11 For what day is the time appointed? 12 The Day of Judgement. 13 And what will convey unto thee 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 peoples? 16 And We shall cause those of later times to follow them. 17 Those who take heed for themselves and fear God, will be amidst shade and springs of water, 18 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 19 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? 20 which We placed within a sure lodging 21 until an appointed time? 22 Thus did We Plan and how excellent is Our planning! 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle? 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)? 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 GO ON towards that [resurrection] which you were wont to call a lie! 29 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, 30 wherein there is neither shade, nor freeing from the blazing flames 31 which - behold! - will throw up sparks like [burning] logs, 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 34 On that Day they will be speechless, 35 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse. 36 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 37 That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together! 38 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 40
