Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the winds sent forth in swift succession, 1 Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts, 2 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive; 3 And those that distinguish distinctly, 4 and by those who reveal revelations (to the prophets) 5 To cut off all excuses or to warn; 6 Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass. 7 When the stars lose their light, 8 and the sky is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are carried away by wind. 10 and when all the apostles are called together at a time appointed... 11 For what day has the term [of all this] been set? 12 To the day of decision. 13 And what knowest thou what the Day of Decision is? 14 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 15 Did We not destroy many a nation of the earlier times? 16 Then We will follow them with the later ones. 17 This is how We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you from a weak water, 20 which We then placed in a secure repository 21 For a known term? 22 Eat and enjoy for a while: You are certainly sinners. 23 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)? 27 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 28 Proceed to that (the Day of Judgment) which you have rejected. 29 proceed towards the three-pronged shadow, 30 Neither shady nor protecting against the blazing Fire. 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 and as bright as a herd of yellow camels. 33 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 34 that Day on which they will not [be able to] utter a word, 35 nor will they be permitted to offer any excuses. 36 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 37 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be you and the earlier generations. 38 If you now have any conspiracy, carry it out on Me. 39 Woe on the day unto the beliers! 40
