Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another 1 storming tempestuously 2 And those that revive by quickening, 3 And those [angels] who bring criterion 4 and those hurling a reminder 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur. 7 So when the stars are obliterated 8 Heavens will rent asunder. 9 And when the mountains are made into dust and blown away. 10 The Messengers will receive their appointments. 11 To which Day has this task been deferred? 12 To the Day of Decision. 13 And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision? 14 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 So shall We make later (generations) follow them. 17 thus do We deal with the culprits. 18 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed, 21 for a term pre-ordained? 22 Thus have We determined [the nature of man's creation]: and excellent indeed is Our power to determine [what is to be]! 23 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected the revelations of God! 24 Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together. 25 For the living and the dead, 26 place on it high mountains and provide you with fresh water? 27 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 28 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 Go to the shadow with three ramifications, 30 (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame. 31 Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress, 32 (Or) as it might be camels of bright yellow hue. 33 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 34 They will not be able to speak that day, 35 Nor given leave to make excuses. 36 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 37 That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)! 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 40
