Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, 1 And those that strike violently, 2 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive; 3 then winnow them thoroughly, 4 By those who bring down the Reminder, 5 to excuse some and warn others: 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 So when the lights of the stars are put out. 8 And when the sky is split apart. 9 The mountains reduced to dust and blown away, 10 and when the Messengers' time is set, 11 for what Day has this been appointed? 12 To the day of decision. 13 And what could make thee conceive what that Day of Distinction will be? 14 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 15 Have We not destroyed the earlier generations? 16 Then We will follow them with the later ones. 17 This is how We deal with the guilty. 18 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 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, on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a repository 25 the living and the dead? 26 And We placed high mountains as anchors in it and gave you sweet water to drink. 27 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 28 "Go to what you used to deny; 29 “Move towards the shadow of the smoke having three branches.” 30 "Neither shading, nor of any use against the fierce flame of the Fire." 31 Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles. 32 which seem as though they are yellow-coloured camels. 33 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 34 This is a day in which they will not be able to speak. 35 Nor will they be given permission to present excuses. 36 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 37 Such is the Day of Decision. We will gather you with the ancients. 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 40
