Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allah) sent forth one after another. 1 storming tempestuously 2 Which scatter clouds to their destined places, 3 then the criterion (the verses of Koran), separating 4 and then giving forth a reminder, 5 To complete the argument or to warn. 6 Surely, what you are promised must come to pass. 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 And when the mountains are blown away; 10 and when the Messengers' time is set 11 For what day has the term [of all this] been set? 12 Upon the Day of Decision! 13 And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? 14 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 15 Did We not destroy the earlier people? 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 In this wise We do with the culprits. 18 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 19 Created We you not of water despicable, 20 which We then let remain in [the womb's] firm keeping 21 Till an appointed term, 22 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine. 23 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And made therein lofty mountains, and given you to drink of sweet water? 27 Woe on that day unto the beliers! 28 Depart to that which you belied! 29 Proceed to a shadow rising in three columns: 30 “Which neither gives shade, nor saves from the flame.” 31 Verily! It (Hell) throws sparks (huge) as Al-Qasr [a fort or a Qasr (huge log of wood)], 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 34 This is a Day whereon they shall not be able to speak. 35 nor will they be allowed to proffer excuses. 36 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 37 That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)! 38 If you now have any conspiracy, carry it out on Me. 39 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 40
