Dispatched (Al-Mursalaat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
CONSIDER these [messages,] sent forth in waves 1 by (the angels) as swift as blowing winds, 2 And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain; 3 And those that distinguish distinctly, 4 And those [angels] who deliver a message 5 to excuse some and warn others: 6 Surely, what you are promised must come to pass. 7 So when stars are effaced. 8 And when the heaven is cleft asunder; 9 and the mountains are blown away, 10 and when the Messengers' time is set, 11 to what day shall they be deferred? 12 For the Day of Decision. 13 And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? 14 Woe on that Day unto those who give the lie to the truth! 15 Did We not destroy the ancients 16 So shall We make the later ones to follow them. 17 Thus do We deal with the sinful ones. 18 Alas the woe that day for those who deny! 19 Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?- 20 that We laid within a sure lodging 21 Till an appointed term, 22 And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine. 23 Woe, that Day, to the deniers. 24 Did We not make the earth as a gathering place 25 For the living and the dead. 26 place on it high mountains and provide you with fresh water? 27 Woe on that Day to those who belied it! 28 Walk on to that which you called a lie. 29 Proceed to that shadow, rising in three columns 30 which neither provides (cooling) shade nor protection against the flames; 31 that shoots sparks like dry faggots, 32 and as bright as a herd of yellow camels. 33 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth! 34 On that day they will not be able to speak, 35 neither be given leave, and excuse themselves. 36 Woe on that Day to those that give the lie to the Truth! 37 This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore. 38 If you are cunning, then try your cunning against Me! 39 Woe on that day to the rejecters. 40
