Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), 1 which then blow tempestuously 2 by the scatterers scattering 3 Then separate them one from another, 4 And those that bring down the Reminder 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. 7 When the stars shall be extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 The mountains reduced to dust and blown away, 10 and when the Messengers' time is set, 11 For what Day was it postponed? 12 To the Day of Decision. 13 And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out? 14 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth. 15 Did We not destroy the ancients? 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 This is how We deal with the guilty. 18 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 19 Created We you not of water despicable, 20 Which We laid up in a safe abode 21 for an appointed term? 22 For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things). 23 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 The living and the dead, 26 place on it high mountains and provide you with fresh water? 27 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 28 Depart to that which you belied! 29 Proceed to that shadow, rising in three columns 30 affording neither shade, nor protection from the flames, 31 It will throw out sparks as logs of wood 32 and yellow camels. 33 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 34 That will be the Day on which they will not (be able to) utter a word, 35 nor shall they be given permission, so that they can apologize. 36 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 37 This is the Day of Decision; We have gathered you and all the earlier men. 38 If now ye have any craft, try that craft upon Me. 39 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 40
