Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By the emissary winds, (sent) one after another 1 and then storming on with a tempest's force! 2 by (the angels) spreading (the words of God) far and wide, 3 by (the angels) who make a clear distinction between right and wrong 4 And then by those that instil Remembrance into the hearts. 5 To clear or to warn. 6 Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass. 7 So when the stars are obliterated 8 The heavens split asunder, 9 And when the mountains are blown away 10 And when the Messengers are gathered to their time appointed; 11 To what day is the doom fixed? 12 To the Day of Decision. 13 What do you know what the Day of Judgement is? 14 That will be the Day of Reckoning. Gathered will be, and the earlier. 15 Did We not destroy [so many of] those [sinners] of olden days? 16 And We shall cause those of later times to follow them. 17 [for] thus do We deal with such as are lost in sin. 18 On that day, woe upon those who have rejected God's revelations! 19 Created We you not of water despicable, 20 which We placed within a sure lodging 21 until an appointed time? 22 So We proportion it-- how well are We at proportioning (things). 23 Woe that day unto those who cry it lies! 24 Have We not made the earth a receptacle. 25 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 unto the beliers! 28 Depart to that you cried was lies! 29 Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns 30 "Which neither gives shade, nor saves from the flame." 31 And those that bring down the Reminder 32 "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)." 33 Ruin is for the deniers on that day! 34 That will be the Day on which they will not (be able to) utter a word, 35 nor will they be permitted to offer any excuses. 36 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 37 That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before (you)! 38 If now ye have any craft, try that craft upon Me. 39 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 40
