Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 by (the angels) as swift as blowing winds, 2 Which scatter clouds to their destined places, 3 Then separate them, one from another, 4 Then spread abroad a Message, 5 excusing or warning, 6 that whatever with which you have been warned will inevitably come to pass. 7 So when the stars are put out, 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 And when the mountains are blown away, 10 and when the Messengers' time is set, 11 To which Day has this task been deferred? 12 To the Day of Judgement. 13 Would that you knew what the Day of Decision is! 14 Woe on that day unto the beliers 15 Destroyed We not the former folk, 16 and make others settle after them in their land? 17 In this wise We do with the culprits. 18 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 19 Did We not create you from a humble fluid, 20 Which We placed in a depository safe. 21 For a known period (determined by gestation)? 22 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine. 23 Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle? 25 for the living and the dead? 26 and did We not firmly fix towering mountains on it and give you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 28 Proceed to that (the Day of Judgment) which you have rejected. 29 “Move towards the shadow of the smoke having three branches.” 30 which neither provides (cooling) shade nor protection against the flames; 31 Verily it shall cast forth sparks like unto a castle. 32 So like golden camels." 33 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 34 That will be the Day on which they will not (be able to) utter a word, 35 nor will they be allowed to proffer excuses. 36 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 37 This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore. 38 If now you have any strategy, use it against Me. 39 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 40
