Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit); 1 storming tempestuously 2 and by the scatterers scattering (rain) 3 thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity, 4 And those [angels] who deliver a message 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 Thus, [it will come to pass] when the stars are effaced, 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 and when the mountains are scattered like dust, 10 The Messengers will receive their appointments. 11 For what day is it timed? 12 For the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false]! 13 And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision? 14 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients, 16 and let the latter follow them? 17 So We serve the sinners. 18 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 19 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? 20 which We then placed in a secure repository 21 for a term pre-ordained? 22 We then calculated; so how excellently do We control! 23 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 24 Have We not made the earth a container 25 For the living and the dead among you? 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and filled you with sweet water? 27 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 28 (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false! 29 Proceed to a shadow rising in three columns: 30 "Which neither gives shade, nor saves from the flame." 31 It will throw out sparks as logs of wood 32 (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. 33 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 34 That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak. 35 nor will they be permitted to offer any excuses. 36 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 37 that Day of Distinction [between the true and the false, when they will be told]: "We have brought you together with those [sinners] of olden times; 38 So if you have a plan, then plan against Me. 39 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 40
