Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the winds sent forth in swift succession, 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force! 2 Which scatter clouds to their destined places, 3 And those [angels] who bring criterion 4 and then cast (Allah's) remembrance (in people's hearts), 5 to excuse some and warn others: 6 What is promised will surely come to pass. 7 Then the stars will lose their light. 8 And when the heaven is cloven asunder. 9 when the mountains shall be scattered 10 And when the time comes for raising the little girls (buried alive) -- 11 to what day shall they be delayed? 12 Upon the Day of Decision! 13 What do you know what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 15 Did We not destroy many a nation of the earlier times? 16 We will now cause the later ones to follow them: 17 Even thus shall We deal with the guilty. 18 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 19 Did We not create you out of a humble fluid 20 and place it in a secure place 21 For a known extent. 22 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! 23 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 24 Have We not caused the earth to hold within itself 25 for the living and the dead? 26 And placed in it lofty and broad stablisers, and gave you sweet water to drink? 27 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 28 "Go to what you used to deny; 29 Proceed to a shadow rising in three columns: 30 affording neither shade, nor protection from the flames, 31 Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles. 32 "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)." 33 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 34 This is the day on which they shall not speak, 35 And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 37 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be (you) and the earlier (generations). 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 40
