Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By oath of those that are sent, one after the other, the verses of the Holy Qur'an, the angels, or the winds. 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force, 2 Then by oath of those that lift and carry. 3 And by the Verses (of the Quran) that separate the right from the wrong. 4 And those [angels] who deliver a message 5 to serve as an excuse or a warning. 6 Verily that which ye are promised is about to befall. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 The Messengers will receive their appointments. 11 For what day has the term [of all this] been set? 12 For the Day of Sorting out. 13 What will explain to you what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients? 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 So We serve the sinners. 18 And such fruits as they desire. 19 Did We not create you from a humble fluid, 20 which We then placed in a secure repository 21 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 22 We determined, how excellent a Determiner are We! 23 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 24 Have We not made the earth a housing 25 for the living and the dead? 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and given you fresh water to drink? 27 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 28 "Go to what you used to deny; 29 Depart to a triple-massing shadow 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress, 32 as black camels. 33 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 34 This is the day on which they shall not speak, 35 neither be given leave, and excuse themselves. 36 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 37 This is the Day of Judgement. We have assembled you all together with past generations. 38 If now you have any strategy, use it against Me. 39 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 40
