Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the winds sent forth in swift succession, 1 And the winds that blow violently 2 By the spreading winds spreading. 3 And the scattering winds scattering. 4 And those [angels] who deliver a message 5 to excuse some and warn others: 6 Surely what you are promised shall come to pass. 7 When the stars shall be extinguished, 8 when heaven shall be split 9 and the mountains scattered, 10 And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed - 11 For what day has the term [of all this] been set? 12 To the day of decision. 13 And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out? 14 Woe on that day unto the beliers 15 Did We not destroy many a nation of the earlier times? 16 Thereafter We shall cause to follow them the latter ones. 17 Thus do We deal with the Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.)! 18 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 19 Did We not create you from an abject fluid? 20 then placed it in a secure repository [the womb], 21 for a term pre-ordained? 22 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! 23 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle? 25 For the living and the dead among you? 26 And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water? 27 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 28 Proceed to that (the Day of Judgment) which you have rejected. 29 Go on towards the threefold shadow 30 "Neither shading, nor of any use against the fierce flame of the Fire." 31 Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles. 32 sparks like to golden herds. 33 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 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 to those who belied it! 37 This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together. 38 If you have any plans, use them. 39 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 40
