Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit); 1 storming tempestuously 2 Consider these [messages] that spread [the truth] far and wide, 3 separating one from another, 4 and then giving forth a reminder, 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 So when the stars are obliterated 8 and when the sky is rent asunder, 9 So like golden camels." 10 And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);- 11 for what Day has this been appointed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out? 14 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 15 Did We not destroy [so many of] those [sinners] of olden days? 16 and make others settle after them in their land? 17 Thus do We deal with the Mujrimun (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, criminals, etc.)! 18 And such fruits as they desire. 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 that We laid within a sure lodging 21 For a known calculated term. 22 We determined, how excellent a Determiner are We! 23 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 Of the living and the dead? 26 And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water? 27 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 28 GO ON towards that [resurrection] which you were wont to call a lie! 29 Depart unto the shadow three branched: 30 "(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze. 31 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, 32 and as bright as a herd of yellow camels. 33 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 nor be allowed to proffer excuses! 36 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 37 This is the Day of Decision; We have gathered you and all the earlier men. 38 If now ye have any wit, outwit Me. 39 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 40
