Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, 1 storming tempestuously 2 and raise (clouds) and scatter them around, 3 then the criterion (the verses of Koran), separating 4 and those hurling a reminder 5 To complete the argument or to warn. 6 Surely, what you are promised must come to pass. 7 When the stars shall be extinguished, 8 and the sky is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 and the appointed time to bring the Messengers together arrives, (then shall the promised event come to pass). 11 For what day is it timed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 14 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 15 Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)? 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 Thus do We deal with men of sin. 18 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 which We then let remain in [the womb's] firm keeping 21 for an appointed term? 22 For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things). 23 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 24 Have We not made the earth a container 25 for both the living and the dead? 26 and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink? 27 On that Day (of Judgment) woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 28 Depart to that which you belied! 29 Go on towards the threefold shadow 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 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 those who give the lie to the truth 34 This is the Day they shall not speak, 35 neither be given leave, and excuse themselves. 36 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 37 This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore. 38 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 40
