Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the loosed ones successively 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force, 2 Then by oath of those that lift and carry. 3 And those that distinguish distinctly, 4 Then spread abroad a Message, 5 to serve as an excuse or a warning. 6 Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. 7 So when the stars are put out, 8 And when the heaven is opened 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 and when all the apostles are called together at a time appointed... 11 To which Day has this task been deferred? 12 one will be told, "To the Day of Distinction". 13 And what will explain to you what is the Day of sorting out? 14 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 15 Destroyed We not the former folk, 16 Then We will follow them with the later ones. 17 thus do We deal with the culprits. 18 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb), 21 For a known extent. 22 Thus did We Plan and how excellent is Our planning! 23 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 24 Did We not make the earth a receptacle, 25 The living and the dead, 26 and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 (It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny; 29 "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 Verily it shall cast forth sparks like unto a castle. 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 34 This is a day wherein they speak not, 35 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 36 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 37 Such is the Day of Decision. We will gather you with the ancients. 38 If now ye have any wit, outwit Me. 39 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 40
