Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, 1 which then blow tempestuously 2 by (the angels) spreading (the words of God) far and wide, 3 and the severally severing 4 Then spread abroad a Message, 5 to serve as an excuse or a warning. 6 Surely that which ye are promised will befall. 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 And when the mountains are carried away by wind. 10 And when the apostles are collected at the appointed time, 11 For what Day are these (portents) deferred? 12 To the Day of Decision. 13 And what do you know, what the Day of Decision is! 14 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 15 Did We not destroy the former peoples? 16 and then follow them with the later folk? 17 As such shall We deal with the sinners. 18 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 19 Did We not create you from a base fluid 20 which We then let remain in [the womb's] firm keeping 21 Till an appointed term, 22 So We did measure, and We are the Best to measure (the things). 23 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle? 25 Of the living and the dead? 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and filled you with sweet water? 27 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 28 Proceed to that which you denied. 29 Proceed to that shadow, rising in three columns 30 affording neither shade, nor protection from the flames, 31 Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress, 32 So like golden camels." 33 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 34 On that day they will not be able to speak, 35 nor will they be allowed to proffer excuses. 36 On that day, woe would be those who have rejected God's revelations! 37 Such is the Day of Decision. We will gather you with the ancients. 38 So if you have a plot, use it against Me (Allah)! 39 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 40
