Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force, 2 and the rain-spreading winds, 3 By those who winnow with a winnowing, 4 Then spread abroad a Message, 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 surely that which you are promised is about to fall! 7 So when the stars are put out, 8 and the sky is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 And when the time of the Noble Messengers arrives. 11 For what day is it timed? 12 The Day of Judgement. 13 And what do you know, what the Day of Decision is! 14 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 15 Did We not destroy [so many of] those [sinners] of olden days? 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 That is what We shall do to those who are guilty of crime. 18 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 19 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? 20 And We placed it in a firm lodging 21 For a known term? 22 We then calculated; so how excellently do We control! 23 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 24 Have We not made the earth a housing 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 And placed in it lofty and broad stablisers, and gave you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 28 Proceed to that which you denied. 29 Depart unto the shadow three branched: 30 (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame. 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 sparks like to golden herds. 33 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 34 On that day they will not be able to speak, 35 Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas. 36 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 37 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; 38 If now you have any strategy, use it against Me. 39 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 40
