Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the loosed ones successively 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force! 2 Which scatter clouds to their destined places, 3 And those that distinguish distinctly, 4 and then cast (Allah's) remembrance (in people's hearts), 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 Indeed, what you are promised is to occur. 7 When the stars lose their light, 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 The mountains reduced to dust and blown away, 10 The Messengers will receive their appointments. 11 to what day shall they be delayed? 12 To the day of decision. 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 14 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 15 Did We not destroy the ancient people 16 So shall We make later generations to follow them. 17 Even thus shall We deal with the guilty. 18 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 19 Did We not create you from contemptible water? 20 Then We lodged you in a secure place (the womb) 21 for an appointed term? 22 So We proportion it-- how well are We at proportioning (things). 23 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 for the living and the dead? 26 And We placed high mountains as anchors in it and gave you sweet water to drink. 27 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 28 Proceed to that which you denied. 29 Proceed to a shadow rising in three columns: 30 Neither shady nor protecting against the blazing Fire. 31 Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles. 32 like giant fiery ropes! 33 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 34 On that day they will not be able to speak, 35 nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses. 36 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 37 That will be a Day of Decision! We have brought you and the men of old together! 38 and if you [think that you] have a subterfuge left, try to outwit Me!" 39 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 40
