Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), 1 And those raging swiftly; 2 and by the scatterers scattering (rain) 3 and the severally severing 4 and then cast (Allah's) remembrance (in people's hearts), 5 to excuse some and warn others: 6 Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass. 7 So when the stars are extinguished, 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 So like golden camels." 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 For what Day are these signs postponed? 12 To the Day of Judgement. 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 14 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 15 Have We not destroyed the earlier generations? 16 We will now cause the later ones to follow them: 17 Those who take heed for themselves and fear God, will be amidst shade and springs of water, 18 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 19 Did We not create you from an abject fluid? 20 and place it in a secure place 21 For a known term? 22 Thus We have determined the stages of development and Our power to determine is excellent indeed. 23 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 24 Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together. 25 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 26 and did We not firmly fix towering mountains on it and give you sweet water to drink? 27 I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 Verily! It (Hell) throws sparks (huge) as Al-Qasr [a fort or a Qasr (huge log of wood)], 32 which seem as though they are yellow-coloured camels. 33 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 34 This is the day on which they shall not speak, 35 nor will they be allowed to proffer excuses. 36 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 37 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be you and the earlier generations. 38 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 40
