Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the winds sent forth with beneficence. 1 Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts, 2 And scatter (things) far and wide; 3 then the criterion (the verses of Koran), separating 4 by those who bring down the reminder, 5 [promising] freedom from blame or [offering] a warning! 6 Indeed what you are promised, will surely befall. 7 So when the stars are obliterated 8 when heaven shall be split 9 and when the mountains crumble into dust 10 and when all the apostles are called together at a time appointed... 11 For what day is the time appointed? 12 To the day of decision. 13 And what could make thee conceive what that Day of Distinction will be? 14 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients? 16 We shall then send the latter after them. 17 Thus do We deal with the criminals. 18 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 19 Did We not create you from a humble fluid, 20 Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb), 21 until an appointed time? 22 We then calculated; so how excellently do We control! 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle 25 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 26 And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water? 27 On that Day (of Judgment) woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 28 Walk on to that which you called a lie. 29 Proceed to that shadow, rising in three columns 30 which neither provides (cooling) shade nor protection against the flames; 31 The fire will shoot out sparks as big as huge towers 32 as black camels. 33 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses. 36 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 37 This is the Day of Decision, We have assembled both ye and the ancients. 38 If now ye have any wit, outwit Me. 39 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 40
