Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the winds sent forth in swift succession, 1 which then blow tempestuously 2 Which scatter clouds to their destined places, 3 Then separate them one from another, 4 Then spread abroad a Message, 5 to provide excuses for some and to give warnings to others: 6 Surely what you are promised shall come to pass. 7 When the stars lose their light, 8 when heaven shall be split 9 and the mountains scattered, 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 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 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 15 Destroyed We not the former folk, 16 And We shall cause those of later times to follow them. 17 Thus do We deal with the criminals. 18 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed, 21 For a known extent. 22 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine. 23 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected the revelations of God! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle. 25 The living and the dead, 26 and have We not set on it proud, firm mountains, and given you sweet water to drink? 27 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 28 Depart to that which you belied! 29 Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns 30 (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame. 31 that shoots sparks like dry faggots, 32 As if they were tawny camels. 33 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 34 That will be a Day when they shall not speak (during some part of it), 35 Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas. 36 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 37 Such is the Day of Decision. We will gather you with the ancients. 38 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 40
