Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the loosed ones successively 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force! 2 Then by oath of those that lift and carry. 3 Then separate them one from another, 4 And those [angels] who deliver a message 5 to serve as an excuse or a warning. 6 Surely what you are promised shall come to pass. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 and when the sky is rent asunder 9 and when the mountains are scattered like dust, 10 and when the Messengers' time is set, 11 For which day were they appointed? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement? 14 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 15 Did We not destroy the former peoples? 16 Then We will follow them with the later ones. 17 So We serve the sinners. 18 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 19 Did We not create you of a mean fluid, 20 Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb), 21 Till a limit known? 22 See that We had the power to do so. Great indeed is Our power to do what We will. 23 Woe, on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 24 Have We not made the earth to draw together to itself, 25 for the living and the dead, 26 And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water. 27 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 28 'Depart unto that which ye were wont to belie. 29 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, 30 Neither shading nor availing against the flame. 31 Indeed hell throws up sparks like huge castles. 32 and yellow camels. 33 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 34 They will not be able to speak that day, 35 Nor given leave to make excuses. 36 Woe on that Day to those who reject the truth! 37 that Day of Distinction [between the true and the false, when they will be told]: "We have brought you together with those [sinners] of olden times; 38 If you have any plans, use them. 39 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 40
