Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By the winds sent forth with beneficence. 1 By the raging hurricanes, 2 By the spreading winds spreading. 3 thus separating [right and wrong] with all clarity, 4 and then giving forth a reminder, 5 to provide excuses for some and to give warnings to others: 6 Indeed what you are promised, will surely befall. 7 Then when the stars become dim; 8 and when the sky is rent asunder 9 And when the mountains are carried away by wind. 10 And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time 11 For what Day was it postponed? 12 For the Day of Distinction [between the true and the false]! 13 And what could make thee conceive what that Day of Distinction will be? 14 Woe unto the repudiators on that day! 15 Destroyed We not the ancients? 16 and then follow them with the later folk? 17 Thus deal We ever with the guilty. 18 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 19 Did We not create you from a liquid disdained? 20 Then We placed it in a place of safety (womb), 21 till a known term decreed? 22 For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things). 23 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 24 Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together. 25 Of the living and the dead? 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and given you fresh water to drink? 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 Depart unto the shadow falling threefold, 30 unshading against the blazing flame 31 It will throw out sparks as logs of wood 32 As if they were tawny camels. 33 On that day, woe would be upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 34 This is the Day they shall not speak, 35 Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas. 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 This is the Day of Decision, We have assembled both ye and the ancients. 38 So if you have a plan, then plan against Me. 39 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 40
