Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force! 2 Then by oath of those that lift and carry. 3 By those who winnow with a winnowing, 4 Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation, 5 excusing or warning, 6 that which you have been promised shall be fulfilled. 7 When the stars lose their light, 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 and the mountains are blown away, 10 and when the messengers are brought together at the appointed time -- 11 To what day is the doom fixed? 12 The Day of Judgement. 13 And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out? 14 On that day, woe will be to those who have rejected God's revelations! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 We will now cause the later ones to follow them: 17 Thus deal We ever with the guilty. 18 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 which We placed within a sure lodging 21 For a certain appointed time, 22 We determined, how excellent a Determiner are We! 23 Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a container 25 For the living and the dead among you? 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and given you fresh water to drink? 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 Proceed to that which you denied. 29 Depart unto the shadow three branched: 30 which neither gives shade nor protects one from the flames. 31 "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts, 32 As if they were tawny camels. 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 Nor will they be given permission to present excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 37 This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples. 38 So if you have any ploy, try it against Me! 39 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 40
