Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another 1 And by the winds that blow violently, 2 And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain; 3 thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity, 4 And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers, 5 to provide excuses for some and to give warnings to others: 6 Go to the shadow with three ramifications, 7 Thus, [it will come to pass] when the stars are effaced, 8 When the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 and the mountains scattered, 10 And when the time comes for messengers to meet -- 11 For what Day are these (portents) deferred? 12 For the Day of Sorting out. 13 What do you know what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 15 Did We not destroy the former generations? 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 Thus deal We ever with the guilty. 18 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 19 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? 20 which We then placed in a secure repository 21 For a known term? 22 We then calculated; so how excellently do We control! 23 Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle? 25 for both the living and the dead? 26 And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water. 27 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 28 "Move towards what you used to deny!" 29 proceed towards the three-pronged shadow, 30 that will offer no [cooling] shade and will be of no avail against the flame 31 "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts, 32 Seeming like yellow camels. 33 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 34 On that Day they will be speechless, 35 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 37 This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples. 38 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Woe on the day unto the beliers! 40
