Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the winds sent forth with beneficence. 1 by (the angels) as swift as blowing winds, 2 And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain; 3 thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity, 4 And those [angels] who deliver a message 5 Whether of Justification or of Warning;- 6 Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. 7 So when the lights of the stars are put out. 8 and when the sky is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 And when the messengers' time has come... 11 for what Day has this been appointed? 12 For the Day of Sorting out. 13 And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision? 14 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 15 Did We not destroy the ancients? 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin. 18 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 19 Did We not create you from an abject fluid? 20 Which We laid up in a safe abode 21 For a certain appointed time, 22 Thus did We Plan and how excellent is Our planning! 23 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 24 Have We not made the earth a housing 25 The living and the dead, 26 And have placed therein firm and tall mountains and given you to drink of water fresh 27 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 28 (It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny; 29 Go to the shadow with three ramifications, 30 affording neither shade, nor protection from the flames, 31 and throwing up sparks as huge as towers 32 As if they were yellowish [black] camels. 33 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 34 On that day they will not be able to speak, 35 nor be allowed to proffer 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 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 40
