Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the (winds) sent forth in quick succession, 1 And by the winds that blow violently, 2 And scatter (things) far and wide; 3 And those [angels] who bring criterion 4 and those hurling a reminder 5 By way of excuse or warning. 6 BEHOLD, all that you are told to expect will surely come to pass. 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 and the sky is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are made into dust and blown away. 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 For what Day was it postponed? 12 To the day of decision. 13 And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out? 14 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 15 Did We not destroy the earlier people? 16 Then We will follow them with the later ones. 17 thus do We deal with the culprits. 18 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 19 Did We not create you out of a humble fluid 20 The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed, 21 For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)? 22 We determined, how excellent a Determiner are We! 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Have We not made the earth a container 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 And We placed high mountains as anchors in it and gave you sweet water to drink. 27 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 28 Proceed now towards that which you were wont to deny as false; 29 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, 30 unshading against the blazing flame 31 and throwing up sparks as huge as towers 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 34 When the stars are obliterated, 35 nor will they be allowed to proffer excuses. 36 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 37 This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore. 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 Woe on the day unto the beliers! 40
