Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force! 2 By the spreading winds spreading. 3 separating one from another, 4 by those who bring down the reminder, 5 to excuse some and warn others: 6 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur. 7 Neither shady nor protecting against the blazing Fire. 8 and the sky is rent asunder, 9 and when the mountains crumble into dust 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 For what day is that time fixed? 12 To the Day of Judgement. 13 And what do you know, what the Day of Decision is! 14 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 15 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 16 and let the latter follow them? 17 thus do We deal with the culprits. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you from a humble fluid, 20 Then We placed it in a secure resting-place, 21 Till a limit known? 22 Then We facilitated your birth. How well do We calculate! 23 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected the revelations of God! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 The living and the dead, 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and given you fresh water to drink? 27 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 28 Walk on to that which you called a lie. 29 Proceed to a shadow rising in three columns: 30 that will offer no [cooling] shade and will be of no avail against the flame 31 which - behold! - will throw up sparks like [burning] logs, 32 As if they were Jimalatun Sufr (yellow camels or bundles of ropes)." 33 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 36 On that day, woe would be those who have rejected God's revelations! 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
