Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 And by the winds that blow violently, 2 and by the scatterers scattering (rain) 3 By those who winnow with a winnowing, 4 and those hurling a reminder 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 Verily that which ye are promised is about to befall. 7 Neither shady nor protecting against the blazing Fire. 8 And when the heaven is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are blown away; 10 And when the messengers are brought unto their time appointed - 11 For what Day was it postponed? 12 To the Day of Decision. 13 And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? 14 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 We will now cause the later ones to follow them: 17 In this wise We do with the culprits. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 We then kept it in a safe place. 21 Till a limit known? 22 See that We had the power to do so. Great indeed is Our power to do what We will. 23 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle 25 The living and the dead, 26 And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water? 27 I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, 28 'Depart unto that which ye were wont to belie. 29 Walk on to the covering having three branches, 30 which neither provides (cooling) shade nor protection against the flames; 31 it throws spits as (high as a huge) palace, 32 sparks like to golden herds. 33 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 34 On that Day they will be speechless, 35 Nor shall they be permitted so that they might excuse themselves. 36 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 37 That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together! 38 So if you have any ploy, try it against Me! 39 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 40
