Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the winds sent forth with beneficence. 1 And the winds that blow violently 2 by the scatterers scattering 3 then winnow them thoroughly, 4 and by those who reveal revelations (to the prophets) 5 As justification or warning, 6 Indeed what you are promised, will surely befall. 7 Thus, [it will come to pass] when the stars are effaced, 8 And when the heaven is rent asunder, 9 When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust; 10 and when the messengers are brought together at the appointed time -- 11 For what day is it timed? 12 For the Day of Judgement. 13 And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out? 14 Woe on that day unto the beliers 15 Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)? 16 So shall We make later generations to follow them. 17 thus do We deal with the culprits. 18 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 which We then placed in a secure repository 21 For a certain appointed time, 22 So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things). 23 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 24 Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together. 25 for the living and the dead? 26 place on it high mountains and provide you with fresh water? 27 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 28 [They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny. 29 "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 which neither gives shade nor protects one from the flames. 31 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 34 This is a Day whereon they shall not be able to speak. 35 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. 36 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 37 That is the Day of Judgement on which We have assembled you as well as all those who went before you. 38 If now you have any strategy, use it against Me. 39 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 40
