Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), 1 And those that strike violently, 2 And those that revive by quickening, 3 Then separate them, one from another, 4 and then cast (Allah's) remembrance (in people's hearts), 5 excusing or warning, 6 surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! 7 When the stars are obliterated, 8 And when the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 The mountains reduced to dust and blown away, 10 And when the time of the Noble Messengers arrives. 11 to what day shall they be delayed? 12 The Day of Judgement. 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 14 Woe on that day unto the beliers 15 Did We not destroy the earlier peoples? 16 Thereafter We shall cause to follow them the latter ones. 17 [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin. 18 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 19 Did We not create you of a mean fluid, 20 which We then placed in a secure repository 21 Till a limit known? 22 Then We facilitated (your birth). How well do We calculate! 23 Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth! 24 Did We not make the earth a receptacle, 25 for the living and the dead, 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and given you fresh water to drink? 27 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 28 (It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny; 29 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, 30 Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame. 31 Lo! it throweth up sparks like the castles, 32 which seem as though they are yellow-coloured camels. 33 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 34 On that day they will not be able to speak, 35 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse. 36 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 37 Such is the Day of Decision. We will gather you with the ancients. 38 So if you have a plan, then plan against Me. 39 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 40
