Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By the (winds) sent forth in quick succession, 1 Then by oath of those that push with a strong gust. 2 by (the angels) spreading (the words of God) far and wide, 3 By those who winnow with a winnowing, 4 And those that bring down the Reminder 5 excusing or warning, 6 Verily that which ye are promised is about to befall. 7 So when the stars are extinguished, 8 And when the heaven is opened 9 and the mountains scattered, 10 And when the messengers' time has come... 11 To what day is the doom fixed? 12 one will be told, "To the Day of Distinction". 13 And what knowest thou what the Day of Decision is? 14 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be, and the earlier. 15 Did We not destroy many a nation of the earlier times? 16 So shall We make later (generations) follow them. 17 Thus do We deal with the sinful ones. 18 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 19 Did We not create you from a base fluid 20 Which We placed in a depository safe. 21 for an appointed term? 22 See that We had the power to do so. Great indeed is Our power to do what We will. 23 Woe, on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a repository 25 For the living and the dead among you? 26 And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)? 27 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 28 Proceed to that which you denied. 29 Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns 30 which neither provides (cooling) shade nor protection against the flames; 31 and throwing up sparks as huge as towers 32 as black camels. 33 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 nor will they 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 If you now have any conspiracy, carry it out on Me. 39 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 40
