Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 And by the winds that blow violently, 2 And scatter (things) far and wide; 3 thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity, 4 By those who bring down the Reminder, 5 To clear or to warn. 6 Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. 7 So when the lights of the stars are put out. 8 And when the heaven is rent asunder, 9 When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust; 10 And when the messengers' time has come... 11 to what day shall they be deferred? 12 The Day of Judgement. 13 And what do you know, what the Day of Decision is! 14 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 15 Destroyed We not the former folk, 16 and make others settle after them in their land? 17 So We serve the sinners. 18 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 then placed it in a secure repository [the womb], 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 Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle. 25 Of the living and the dead? 26 And have placed therein firm and tall mountains and given you to drink of water fresh 27 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 Depart to a triple-massing shadow 30 And those that distinguish distinctly, 31 that shoots sparks like dry faggots, 32 sparks like to golden herds. 33 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth 34 On that Day they will be speechless, 35 nor be allowed to proffer excuses! 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 This is the Day of Decision; We have gathered you and all the earlier men. 38 If now you have any strategy, use it against Me. 39 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 40
