بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most
Merciful.
|
|
1. |
The
Sure Reality! |
|
2. |
What
is the Sure Reality? |
|
3. |
And
what will make thee realize what the Sure Reality is? |
|
4. |
The
Thamud and the 'Ad people
(branded)
as
false the Stunning Calamity! |
|
5. |
But
the Thamud -- they were destroyed by a terrible storm of thunder and
lightning! |
|
6. |
And
the 'Ad -- they were destroyed by a furious wind, exceedingly
violent; |
|
7. |
He
made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in
succession:
So
that thou couldst see the
(whole)
people lying prostrate in its
(path),
as if they had been roots of hollow
palm trees tumbled down! |
|
8. |
Then
seest thou any of them left
surviving? |
|
9. |
And
Pharaoh, and those before
him, and the Cities Overthrown, committed habitual Sin. |
|
10. |
And
disobeyed
(each)
the messenger of their Lord;
so He punished them with an abundant Penalty. |
|
11. |
We,
when the water
(of Noah's flood)
overflowed beyond its limits, carried you
(mankind),
in the floating
(Ark). |
|
12. |
That
We might make it a message unto you, and that ears
(that should hear
the tale and)
retain its memory should bear
its
(lessons)
in
remembrance. |
|
13. |
Then, when one Blast is sounded on the Trumpet, |
|
14. |
And
the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed to
powder at one stroke --
|
|
15. |
On
that Day shall the
(Great)
Event come to pass, |
|
16. |
And
the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy, |
|
17. |
And
the angels will be on its sides,
and
eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of thy Lord above them. |
|
18. |
That
Day shall ye be brought to Judgment:
not
an act of yours that ye hide will be hidden. |
|
19. |
Then
He that will be given his Record in his right hand will say:
"Ah
here! read ye my Record! |
|
20. |
"I
did really understand that my
Account would
(one Day)
reach me!" |
|
21. |
And
he will be in a life of Bliss, |
|
22. |
In a
Garden on high, |
|
23. |
The
Fruits whereof
(will hang in bunches)
low and near. |
|
24. |
"Eat
ye and drink ye, with full satisfaction; because of the
(good)
that
ye sent before you in the days that are gone!" |
|
25. |
And
he that will be given his Record in his left hand, will say:
"Ah!
would that my record had not been given to me! |
|
26. |
"And
that I had never realized how my account
(stood)! |
|
27. |
"Ah!
would that
(Death)
had
made an end of me! |
|
28. |
"Of
no profit to me has been my
wealth! |
|
29. |
"My
power has perished from me!"... |
|
30. |
(The stern command
will say):
"Seize ye him, and bind ye
him, |
|
31. |
"And
burn ye him in the Blazing Fire. |
|
32. |
"Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy
cubits! |
|
33. |
"This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High, |
|
34. |
"And
would not encourage the feeding of the indigent! |
|
35. |
"So
no friend hath he here this Day. |
|
36. |
"Nor
hath he any food except the corruption from the
washing of wounds, |
|
37. |
"Which none do eat but those in sin." |
|
38. |
So I
do call to witness what ye see |
|
39. |
And
what ye see not, |
|
40. |
That
this is verily the word of an honored messenger; |
|
41. |
It
is not the word of a poet:
little it is ye believe! |
|
42. |
Nor
is it the word of a soothsayer:
little admonition it is ye receive. |
|
43. |
(This is)
a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds. |
|
44. |
And
if the messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name, |
|
45. |
We
should certainly seize him by his right hand, |
|
46. |
And
We should certainly then cut off the
artery of his heart: |
|
47. |
Nor
could any of you withhold him
(from Our wrath). |
|
48. |
But
verily this is a Message for the Allah-fearing. |
|
49. |
And
We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject
(it) |
|
50. |
But
truly
(Revelation)
is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers. |
|
51. |
But
verily it is Truth of assured certainty. |
|
52. |
So
glorify the name of thy Lord Most High.
