Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By (the angels) sent forth with the commands of God, 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force, 2 and raise (clouds) and scatter them around, 3 then winnow them thoroughly, 4 And then by those that instil Remembrance into the hearts. 5 To complete the argument or to warn. 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 When the stars lose their light, 8 And when the heaven is rent asunder, 9 and when the mountains crumble into dust 10 And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time 11 to what day shall they be delayed? 12 one will be told, "To the Day of Distinction". 13 And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! - 14 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 15 Did We not destroy many a nation of the earlier times? 16 and let the latter follow them? 17 [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin. 18 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 19 Did We not create you from an abject fluid? 20 And We placed it in a firm lodging 21 for an appointed time? 22 Thus did We Plan and how excellent is Our planning! 23 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected the revelations of God! 24 Have We not made the earth a container 25 For the living and the dead. 26 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein? 27 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 28 'Depart unto that which ye were wont to belie. 29 Depart unto the shadow three branched: 30 “Which neither gives shade, nor saves from the flame.” 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 which seem as though they are yellow-coloured camels. 33 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 34 This is a Day whereon they shall not be able to speak. 35 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. 36 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 37 This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore. 38 if you have a trick, try you now to trick Me!' 39 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 40
