Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
CONSIDER these [messages,] sent forth in waves 1 And by the winds that blow violently, 2 And scatter (things) far and wide; 3 And the scattering winds scattering. 4 by those who bring down the reminder, 5 As justification or warning, 6 What is promised will surely come to pass. 7 When the stars shall be extinguished, 8 Heavens will rent asunder. 9 And when the mountains are made into dust and blown away. 10 And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time 11 To which Day has this task been deferred? 12 For the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false]! 13 And what shall teach thee what is the Day of Decision? 14 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 15 Did We not destroy the former peoples? 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 thus do We deal with the culprits. 18 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 19 Did We not create you of a mean water, 20 then placed it in a secure repository [the womb], 21 For a certain appointed time, 22 We determined, how excellent a Determiner are We! 23 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 the living and the dead? 26 place on it high mountains and provide you with fresh water? 27 On that Day (of Judgment) woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 28 Proceed to that (the Day of Judgment) which you have rejected. 29 Depart to a triple-massing shadow 30 (Which yet is) no relief nor shelter from the flame. 31 Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles. 32 So like golden camels." 33 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 This is a Day whereon they shall not be able to speak. 35 Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse. 36 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 37 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be (you) and the earlier (generations). 38 If now ye have any wit, outwit Me. 39 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 40
