Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By (the angels) sent forth with the commands of God, 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 by the scatterers scattering 3 Then separate them, one from another, 4 and then cast (Allah's) remembrance (in people's hearts), 5 To clear or to warn. 6 that which you have been promised shall be fulfilled. 7 When the stars shall be extinguished, 8 When the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 and the mountains are blown away, 10 and when all the apostles are called together at a time appointed... 11 For what Day was it postponed? 12 For the Day of sorting out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell). 13 And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out? 14 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 15 Destroyed We not the ancients? 16 So shall We make later generations to follow them. 17 So We serve the sinners. 18 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 19 Did We not create you from a weak water, 20 that We laid within a sure lodging 21 for an appointed term? 22 Thus have We determined [the nature of man's creation]: and excellent indeed is Our power to determine [what is to be]! 23 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 24 Have We not made the earth a repository 25 for the living and the dead? 26 And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water? 27 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 28 (It will be said unto them:) Depart unto that (doom) which ye used to deny; 29 proceed towards the three-pronged shadow, 30 Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame. 31 it indeed throws up sparks like castles, 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 This is the day on which they shall not speak, 35 Nor shall they be permitted so that they might excuse themselves. 36 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 37 'This is the Day of Decision; We have joined you with the ancients; 38 So if you have a plan, plan against Me (now). 39 Woe on the day unto the beliers! 40
