Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By the winds sent forth with beneficence. 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 and the rain-spreading winds, 3 And the scattering winds scattering. 4 by those who bring down the reminder, 5 As justification or warning, 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 Then when the stars lose their lights; 8 Heavens will rent asunder. 9 and the mountains scattered, 10 and when the messengers are brought together at the appointed time -- 11 for what Day has this been appointed? 12 For the Day of Sorting out. 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 14 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 15 Did We not destroy many a nation of the earlier times? 16 and let the latter follow them? 17 As such shall We deal with the sinners. 18 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 We then kept it in a safe place. 21 Till an appointed term, 22 So We proportion it-- how well are We at proportioning (things). 23 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 24 Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself, 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And have placed therein firm and tall mountains and given you to drink of water fresh 27 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 28 Proceed to that which you denied. 29 Proceed to a shadow rising in three columns: 30 affording neither shade, nor protection from the flames, 31 that shoots sparks like dry faggots, 32 which seem as though they are yellow-coloured camels. 33 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 Nor shall they be permitted so that they might excuse themselves. 36 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 37 That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together! 38 So if you have a plot, use it against Me (Allah)! 39 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 40
