Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By oath of those that are sent, one after the other. (The verses of the Holy Qur’an or the angels or the winds). 1 And those that strike violently, 2 Consider these [messages] that spread [the truth] far and wide, 3 by (the angels) who make a clear distinction between right and wrong 4 And those [angels] who deliver a message 5 [promising] freedom from blame or [offering] a warning! 6 surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! 7 When the stars lose their light, 8 and the sky is rent asunder, 9 And when the mountains are carried away as dust, 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 For what day has the term [of all this] been set? 12 To the day of decision. 13 And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out? 14 On that day, woe will be to those who have rejected God's revelations! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients, 16 Then We will follow them with the later ones. 17 In this wise We do with the culprits. 18 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 19 Did We not create you of a mean fluid, 20 We then kept it in a safe place. 21 until an appointed time? 22 Then We facilitated (your birth). How well do We calculate! 23 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 24 Have We not made the earth a repository 25 the living and the dead? 26 And have placed therein firm and tall mountains and given you to drink of water fresh 27 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 28 Depart to that which you belied! 29 Depart to a triple-massing shadow 30 unshading against the blazing flame 31 that shoots sparks like dry faggots, 32 which seem as though they are yellow-coloured camels. 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 that Day on which they will not [be able to] utter a word, 35 nor be allowed to proffer excuses! 36 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 37 that Day of Distinction [between the true and the false, when they will be told]: "We have brought you together with those [sinners] of olden times; 38 Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me! 39 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 40
