Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, 1 by (the angels) as swift as blowing winds, 2 By those which cause earth's vegetation to revive; 3 thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity, 4 by those who bring down the reminder, 5 To complete the argument or to warn. 6 surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! 7 So when the stars are put out, 8 and when the sky is rent asunder 9 And when the mountains are made into dust and blown away. 10 And when the time comes for raising the little girls (buried alive) -- 11 to what day shall they be deferred? 12 The Day of Judgement. 13 And what knowest thou what the Day of Decision is? 14 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients, 16 And We shall cause those of later times to follow them. 17 So We serve the sinners. 18 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 Then We placed it in a secure resting-place, 21 for a term pre-ordained? 22 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine. 23 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 24 Have We not made the earth a housing 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 on that day unto the beliers! 28 “Move towards what you used to deny!” 29 Go to the shadow with three ramifications, 30 Neither shady nor protecting against the blazing Fire. 31 Surely it sends up sparks like palaces, 32 and as bright as a herd of yellow camels. 33 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 34 That will be a Day when they shall not speak (during some part of it), 35 Nor will they be given permission to present excuses. 36 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 37 That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together! 38 If you have any plans, use them. 39 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 40
