Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 And those that revive by quickening, 3 Then separate them, one from another, 4 By those who bring down the Reminder, 5 to provide excuses for some and to give warnings to others: 6 Verily that which ye are promised is about to befall. 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 When the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 The mountains will be blown away as dust. 10 And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed; 11 For what day is it timed? 12 For the Day of sorting out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell). 13 And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out? 14 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients, 16 And We shall cause those of later times to follow them. 17 thus do We deal with the culprits. 18 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 Which We laid up in a safe abode 21 For a known term? 22 Thus have We determined [the nature of man's creation]: and excellent indeed is Our power to determine [what is to be]! 23 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 24 Have We not made the earth a repository 25 The living and the dead, 26 In what other lore after this will they then believe? 27 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 28 Depart to that which you belied! 29 Depart into the shadow of three masses, 30 And those that distinguish distinctly, 31 And those that bring down the Reminder 32 like giant fiery ropes! 33 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 34 This is a day wherein they speak not, 35 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. 36 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 37 This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore. 38 Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! 39 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 40
