Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By (the wind) those sent (as horses') mane (in succession), 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 Which scatter clouds to their destined places, 3 separating one from another, 4 and then giving forth a reminder, 5 to excuse some and warn others: 6 BEHOLD, all that you are told to expect will surely come to pass. 7 When the stars are obliterated, 8 When the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 and when the mountains are scattered like dust, 10 The Messengers will receive their appointments. 11 For what Day are these (portents) deferred? 12 Upon the Day of Decision! 13 What do you know what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancient people 16 We will now cause the later ones to follow them: 17 Even thus shall We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 19 "Eat and drink with relish as reward for what you had done." 20 Then We lodged you in a secure place the womb. 21 For a certain appointed time, 22 Thus did We Plan and how excellent is Our planning! 23 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle 25 for the living and the dead? 26 and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink? 27 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 28 (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false! 29 proceed towards the three-pronged shadow, 30 wherein there is neither shade, nor freeing from the blazing flames 31 The fire will shoot out sparks as big as huge towers 32 To end all argument or to warn. 33 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 34 This is the day on which they shall not speak, 35 nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses. 36 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 37 This is the Day of Judgement. We have assembled you all together with past generations. 38 So if you have a plot, use it against Me (Allah)! 39 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 40
