Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I CALL TO WITNESS those who are sent consecutively, 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 and by the scatterers scattering (rain) 3 And those that distinguish distinctly, 4 and those hurling a reminder 5 To excuse or to warn, 6 surely, that which you have been promised is about to fall! 7 Then when the stars lose their lights; 8 And when the sky is riven asunder, 9 and the mountains scattered, 10 And when the time of the Noble Messengers arrives. 11 For what day is the time appointed? 12 For the Day of sorting out (the men of Paradise from the men destined for Hell). 13 What will explain to you what the Day of Judgement is? 14 Woe on that day unto the beliers 15 Did We not destroy the ancients, 16 And We shall let them be followed by those of later times: 17 As such shall We deal with the sinners. 18 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 19 Did We not create you out of a humble fluid 20 Then We lodged you in a secure place (the womb) 21 for an appointed term? 22 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine. 23 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 24 Did We not make the earth a receptacle, 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And placed therein high mountains and given you to drink sweet water therein? 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 [They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny. 29 "Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) 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 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 34 This is the Day they shall not speak, 35 nor shall they be permitted to offer excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 37 This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples. 38 If now ye have any craft, try that craft upon Me. 39 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 40
