Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allah) sent forth one after another. 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force! 2 by (the angels) spreading (the words of God) far and wide, 3 and the severally severing 4 And those winds that bring down the remembrance. 5 To cut off all excuses or to warn; 6 Surely, what you are promised must come to pass. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 And when the sky is split apart. 9 And when the mountains are blown away, 10 And when the messengers' time has come... 11 For what Day was it postponed? 12 Nor given leave to make excuses. 13 Would that you knew about the Day of Judgment! 14 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 15 Did We not destroy the earlier peoples? 16 So shall We make later generations to follow them. 17 Thus do We deal with the criminals. 18 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 19 Did We not create you out of a humble fluid 20 And We placed it in a firm lodging 21 For a known term? 22 Thus did We Plan and how excellent is Our planning! 23 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 the living and the dead? 26 and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 28 Walk on to that which you called a lie. 29 Proceed to that shadow, rising in three columns 30 (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame. 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 which seem as though they are yellow-coloured camels. 33 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 nor be allowed to proffer excuses! 36 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 37 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be you and the earlier generations. 38 So if you have a plan, then plan against Me. 39 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 40
