Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, 1 And the winds that blow violently 2 by (the angels) spreading (the words of God) far and wide, 3 then winnow them thoroughly, 4 and by those who reveal revelations (to the prophets) 5 excusing or warning, 6 Indeed what you are promised, will surely befall. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 when heaven shall be split 9 and when the mountains crumble into dust 10 And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);- 11 If one asks, "To which day have such calamitous events been postponed?" 12 For the Day of sorting out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell). 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 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 thus do We deal with the culprits. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you from a humble fluid, 20 which We then let remain in [the womb's] firm keeping 21 till a known term decreed? 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 to draw together to itself, 25 the living and the dead? 26 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein? 27 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 28 Proceed to that which you denied. 29 proceed towards the three-pronged shadow, 30 "Neither shading, nor of any use against the fierce flame of the Fire." 31 Verily it shall cast forth sparks like unto a castle. 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 be able to speak. 35 Nor are they suffered to put forth excuses. 36 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 37 This is the Day of Decision, We have brought you and the men of old together. 38 if you have a trick, try you now to trick Me!' 39 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 40
