Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 and the rain-spreading winds, 3 And the scattering winds scattering. 4 and those (angels) dropping, reminding 5 excusing or warning, 6 Verily that which ye are promised is about to befall. 7 So when the stars are extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is opened 9 And when the mountains are made into dust and blown away. 10 And when the messengers' time has come... 11 For what Day are these (portents) deferred? 12 For the Day of Sorting out. 13 What will explain to you what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the earlier people? 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin. 18 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 19 Created We you not of water despicable, 20 then placed it in a secure repository [the womb], 21 for an appointed term? 22 So We decreed. How excellent are We as decreers! 23 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 24 Have We not made the earth a container 25 The living and the dead, 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and filled you with sweet water? 27 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 28 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 Go on towards the threefold shadow 30 Neither shady nor protecting against the blazing Fire. 31 that shoots sparks like dry faggots, 32 sparks like to golden herds. 33 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 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 And when the time comes for messengers -- 38 If now ye have any craft, try that craft upon Me. 39 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 40
