Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the loosed ones successively 1 storming tempestuously 2 by (the angels) spreading (the words of God) far and wide, 3 And those that distinguish distinctly, 4 and those (angels) dropping, reminding 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 What is promised will surely come to pass. 7 When the stars are obliterated, 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 to what day shall they be deferred? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 What will explain to you what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 15 Did We not destroy many a nation of the earlier times? 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 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 contemptible water? 20 Then We lodged you in a secure place (the womb) 21 for a term pre-ordained? 22 We determined, how excellent a Determiner are We! 23 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 24 Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together. 25 Of the living and the dead? 26 place on it high mountains and provide you with fresh water? 27 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 28 Proceed to that which you denied. 29 Go on towards the threefold shadow 30 which neither provides (cooling) shade nor protection against the flames; 31 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 34 They will not be able to speak that day, 35 neither be given leave, and excuse themselves. 36 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 37 That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)! 38 If now you have any strategy, use it against Me. 39 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 40
