Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the winds sent forth in swift succession, 1 And those raging swiftly; 2 By the spreading winds spreading. 3 Then separate them, one from another, 4 by those who bring down the reminder, 5 excusing or warning, 6 surely that which you are promised is about to fall! 7 When the stars are obliterated, 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 and when the mountains crumble into dust 10 The Messengers will receive their appointments. 11 to what day shall they be deferred? 12 For the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false]! 13 And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! - 14 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)? 16 and let the latter follow them? 17 So We serve the sinners. 18 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 19 Created We you not of water despicable, 20 Which We laid up in a safe abode 21 For a known extent. 22 We determined; excellent determiners are We. 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Made We not the earth to be a housing 25 Of the living and the dead? 26 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein? 27 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 Go to the shadow with three ramifications, 30 unshading against the blazing flame 31 Verily! It (Hell) throws sparks (huge) as Al-Qasr [a fort or a Qasr (huge log of wood)], 32 So like golden camels." 33 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 34 This is the day on which they shall not speak, 35 nor will they be permitted to offer any excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together. 38 If now ye have any craft, try that craft upon Me. 39 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 40
