Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the loosed ones successively 1 And those that strike violently, 2 Consider these [messages] that spread [the truth] far and wide, 3 And by the Verses (of the Quran) that separate the right from the wrong. 4 and by those who reveal revelations (to the prophets) 5 To cut off all excuses or to warn; 6 Surely, what you are promised must come to pass. 7 Then when the stars lose their lights; 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 and when the mountains are scattered like dust, 10 The Messengers will receive their appointments. 11 For which day were they appointed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision? 14 On that day, woe will be to those who have rejected God's revelations! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients, 16 So shall We make later generations to follow them. 17 In this wise We do with the culprits. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you from a weak water, 20 Then We lodged you in a secure place (the womb) 21 for a term pre-ordained? 22 We determined; excellent determiners are We. 23 Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth! 24 Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself, 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water? 27 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 28 Proceed to that which you denied. 29 Go to the shadow with three ramifications, 30 affording neither shade, nor protection from the flames, 31 Verily it shall cast forth sparks like unto a castle. 32 So like golden camels." 33 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 34 This is the day they shall not speak 35 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 This is the Day of Decision, We have assembled both ye and the ancients. 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 Woe on the day unto the beliers! 40
