Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the (winds) sent forth in quick succession, 1 storming tempestuously 2 Which scatter clouds to their destined places, 3 then the criterion (the verses of Koran), separating 4 And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers, 5 to provide excuses for some and to give warnings to others: 6 Indeed what you are promised, will surely befall. 7 When the stars are obliterated, 8 And when the heaven is opened 9 and when the mountains are scattered like dust, 10 And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);- 11 for what Day has this been appointed? 12 one will be told, "To the Day of Distinction". 13 Would that you knew what the Day of Decision is! 14 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the former generations? 16 and let the latter follow them? 17 So We serve the sinners. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you from a weak water, 20 which We then let remain in [the womb's] firm keeping 21 for an appointed term? 22 Thus did We Plan and how excellent is Our planning! 23 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 24 Did We not make the earth a storehouse? 25 For the living and the dead among you? 26 And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water? 27 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 28 GO ON towards that [resurrection] which you were wont to call a lie! 29 "Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 unshading against the blazing flame 31 Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles. 32 which seem as though they are yellow-coloured camels. 33 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 34 That will be the Day on which they will not (be able to) utter a word, 35 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse. 36 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 37 And when the time comes for messengers -- 38 So if you have any ploy, try it against Me! 39 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 40
