Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another 1 And by the winds that blow violently, 2 And [by] the winds that spread [clouds] 3 thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity, 4 By those who bring down the Reminder, 5 To end all argument or to warn. 6 Surely, what you are promised must come to pass. 7 Then the stars will lose their light. 8 and when the sky is rent asunder, 9 The mountains reduced to dust and blown away, 10 and when the Messengers' time is set, 11 For what Day are these signs postponed? 12 Upon the Day of Decision! 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 14 On that day, woe will be to those who have rejected God's revelations! 15 Did We not destroy the former generations? 16 Then did We follow them up with later ones. 17 Thus do We deal with the criminals. 18 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 19 Did We not create you from a worthless water (semen, etc.)? 20 Which We placed in a depository safe. 21 Till a limit known? 22 So We decreed. How excellent are We as decreers! 23 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 The living and the dead, 26 And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains; and have given you to drink sweet water? 27 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 28 (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false! 29 Go to the shadow with three ramifications, 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 which - behold! - will throw up sparks like [burning] logs, 32 As though they were camels yellow tawny. 33 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 34 This is a Day they will not speak, 35 nor will they be allowed to proffer excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 37 Such is the Day of Decision. We will gather you with the ancients. 38 So if you have any plot to devise against Me, then devise it. 39 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 40
