Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By (the wind) those sent (as horses') mane (in succession), 1 by (the angels) as swift as blowing winds, 2 by the scatterers scattering 3 then winnow them thoroughly, 4 And then by those that instil Remembrance into the hearts. 5 [promising] freedom from blame or [offering] a warning! 6 BEHOLD, all that you are told to expect will surely come to pass. 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 when heaven shall be split 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 and when the Messengers' time is set, 11 If one asks, "To which day have such calamitous events been postponed?" 12 To the day of decision. 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 14 On that day, woe will be to those who have rejected God's revelations! 15 Destroyed We not the former folk, 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 Thus do We deal with the guilty. 18 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 19 Did We not create you out of a humble fluid 20 And We placed it in a firm lodging 21 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 22 So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things). 23 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 24 Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together. 25 for both 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 "Move towards what you used to deny!" 29 Depart into the shadow of three masses, 30 which neither gives shade nor protects one from the flames. 31 It will throw out sparks as logs of wood 32 and yellow camels. 33 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 Nor given leave to make excuses. 36 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 37 That is the Day of Judgment. We will bring you together with all the ancient peoples. 38 If now you have any strategy, use it against Me. 39 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 40
