Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
CONSIDER these [messages,] sent forth in waves 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force! 2 and raise (clouds) and scatter them around, 3 and the severally severing 4 and those (angels) dropping, reminding 5 excusing or warning, 6 Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. 7 When the stars shall be extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is opened 9 and the mountains scattered, 10 And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed; 11 For what Day was it postponed? 12 To the day of decision. 13 And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision? 14 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancient people 16 and then follow them with the later folk? 17 Thus do We deal with men of sin. 18 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 19 Created We you not of water despicable, 20 Then We lodged you in a secure place (the womb) 21 for an appointed term? 22 So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things). 23 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 24 Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together. 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water. 27 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 28 [They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny. 29 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, 30 Neither shady nor protecting against the blazing Fire. 31 Verily it shall cast forth sparks like unto a castle. 32 So like golden camels." 33 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 34 This is the day they shall not speak 35 And they will not be permitted to put forth any excuse. 36 On that day, woe would be those who have rejected God's revelations! 37 This is the Day of Decision; We have gathered you and all the earlier men. 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 40
