O
mankind! Fear your Lord! For the convulsion of the Hour (of
Judgment) will be a thing terrible! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
The
Day you shall see it, every mother giving suck shall forget her suckling
babe, and every pregnant female shall drop her load (unformed):
you shall see mankind as in a drunken riot, yet not drunk: but dreadful
will be the Wrath of Allah |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
And
yet among men there are such as dispute about Allah, without knowledge,
and follow every evil one obstinate in rebellion! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
About
the (Evil One)
it is decreed that whoever turns to him for friendship, him will he
lead astray, and he will guide him to the Penalty of the Fire. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
O
mankind! If you have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider)
that We created you out of dust, then out of sperm, then out of a
leech-like clot, then out a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly
unformed, in order that We may manifest (Our
Power) to you; and We cause
whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We
bring you out as babes, then (foster
you) that you may reach your
age of full strength; and some of you are called to die and some are
sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after
having known (much).
And (further),
you see the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain
on it, it is stirred (to life),
it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth
(in pairs). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
This
is so, because Allah is the Reality: it is He Who gives life to the
dead, and it is He Who has power over all things. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
And
verily the Hour will come: there can be no doubt about it, or about
(the fact)
that Allah will raise up all who are in the graves. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
Yet
there is among men such a one as disputes about Allah, without knowledge,
without guidance, and without a Book of Enlightenment-- |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
(Disdainfully)
bending his side, in order to
(lead men) astray from the Path
of Allah; for him there is disgrace in this life, and on the Day of
Judgment we shall make him taste the Penalty of burning (Fire). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
(It
will be said): "This is
because of the deeds which your hands sent forth, for verily Allah
is not unjust to His servants. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
There
are among men some who serve Allah, as it were, on the verge: if good
befalls them, they are, therewith, well content; but if a trial comes
to them, they turn on their faces: they lose both this world and the
Hereafter: that is loss for all to see! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
They
call on such deities, besides Allah, as can neither hurt nor profit
them: that is straying far indeed (from
the Way)! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
(Perhaps)
they call on one whose hurt is nearer than his profit: evil, indeed,
is the patron, and evil the companion (for
help)! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Verily
Allah will admit those who believe and work righteous deeds, to Gardens,
beneath which rivers flow: for Allah carries out all that He plans. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
If
any think that Allah will not help him (His
Messenger) in this world and
the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and cut (himself)
off: then let him see whether his plan will remove that which enrages
(him)! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
Thus
have We sent down Clear Signs; and verily Allah does guide whom He
will! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Those
who believe (in the Qur-an),
those who follow the Jewish
(scriptures), and the Sabians,
Christians, Magians, and Polytheists-- Allah will judge between them
on the Day of Judgment: for Allah is witness of all things |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
See
you not that to Allah bow down in worship all things that are in the
heavens and on earth--the sun, the moon, the stars; the hills, the
trees, the animals; and a great number among mankind? But a great
number are (also)
such as are fit for Punishment: and such as Allah shall disgrace--none
can rise to honor: for Allah carries out all that He wills. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
These
two antagonists dispute with each other about their Lord: but those
who deny (their Lord)--for
them will be cut out a garment of Fire: over their heads will be poured
out boiling water. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
With
it will be scalded what is within their bodies, as well as (their)
skins. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
In
addition there will be maces of iron (to
punish) them. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
Every
time they wish to get away therefrom, from anguish they will be forced
back therein, and (it will
be said), "Taste you the
Penalty of Burning!" |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Allah
will admit those who believe and work righteous deeds to Gardens beneath
which rivers flow: they shall be adorned therein with bracelets of
gold and pearls; and their garments there will be of silk. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
For
they have been guided (in this
life) to the purest of speeches;
they have been guided to the Path of Him Who is worthy of (all)
Praise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
As
to those who have rejected (Allah),
and would keep back (men)
from the Way of Allah, and from the Sacred Mosque, which We have made
(open)
to (all)
men--equal is the dweller there and the visitor from the country--and
any whose purpose therein is profanity or wrongdoing--them will We
cause to taste of a most grievous Penalty |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Behold!
We gave the site, to Abraham, of the (Sacred)
House, (saying):
"Associate not any thing (in
worship) with Me; and sanctify
My House for those who compass it round, or stand up, or bow, or prostrate
themselves (therein in prayer). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
"And
proclaim the Pilgrimage among men: they will come to you on foot and
(mounted)
on every kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and
distant mountain highways; |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
"That
they may witness the benefits (provided)
for them, and celebrate the name of Allah, through the Days appointed,
over the cattle which He has provided for them (for
sacrifice): then eat you thereof
and feed the distressed ones in want. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
"Then
let them complete the rites prescribed for them, perform their vows,
and (again)
circumambulate the Ancient House." |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
Such
(is the Pilgrimage):
whoever honors the sacred rites of Allah, for him it is good in the
sight of his Lord. Lawful to you (for
food in pilgrimage) are cattle,
except those mentioned to you (as
exceptions): but shun the abomination
of idols, and shun the word that is false-- |
