Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts 1 Then by oath of those that push with a strong gust. 2 For the living and the dead, 3 And those [angels] who bring criterion 4 and then cast (Allah's) remembrance (in people's hearts), 5 To complete the argument or to warn. 6 Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass. 7 Then when the stars lose their lights; 8 When the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 when the mountains shall be scattered 10 and when the messengers are brought together at the appointed time -- 11 To what day is the doom fixed? 12 The Day of Judgement. 13 And what will convey unto thee what the Day of Decision is! - 14 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 Then caused the latter folk to follow after? 17 Thus do We deal with the sinful ones. 18 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 19 Did We not create you from a base fluid 20 The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed, 21 For a certain appointed time, 22 Thus We arranged. How excellent is Our arranging! 23 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 24 Have We not made the earth a housing 25 Both for the living and the dead, 26 Have We not placed high mountains upon it and filled you with sweet water? 27 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 28 "Go to what you used to deny; 29 "Depart you to a shadow (of Hell-fire smoke ascending) in three columns, 30 [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame." 31 And those that bring down the Reminder 32 and yellow camels. 33 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 34 That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak. 35 Nor shall they be permitted so that they might excuse themselves. 36 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 37 And when the time comes for messengers -- 38 If you have any plans, use them. 39 Woe that Day to the deniers (of the Day of Resurrection)! 40
