O
mankind! Fear your Lord. Lo! the earthquake of the Hour (of
Doom) is a tremendous thing: |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
On
the day when you behold it, every nursing mother will forget her nursing
and every pregnant one will be delivered of her burden, and you
(Muhammad)
will see mankind as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but the
Doom of Allah will be strong
(upon them). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Among
mankind is he who disputes concerning Allah without knowledge, and
followes each froward devil; |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
For
him it is decreed that whoso takes him for friend, be verily will
mislead him and will guide him to the punishment of the Flame. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
O
mankind! if you are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, then lo!
We have created you from dust, then from a drop of seed, then from
a clot, then from a little lump of flesh shapely and shapeless, that
We may make (it)
clean for you. And We cause what We will to remain in the wombs for
an appointed time, and afterward We bring you forth as infants, then
(give you growth)
that you attain your full strength. And among you there is he who
dies (young),
and among you there is he who is brought back to the most abject time
of life, so that, after knowledge, he knows naught. And you
(Muhammad)
see the earth barren, but when We send down water thereon, it does
thrill and swell and put forth every lovely kind (of
growth). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
That
is because Allah, He is the Truth. Lo! He quickens the dead, and lo!
He is Able to do all things; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
And
because the Hour will come, there is no doubt thereof; and because
Allah will raise those who are in the graves. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
And
among humankind is he who disputes concerning Allah without knowledge
or guidance or a Scripture giving light. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
Turning
away in pride to beguile (men)
from the way of Allah. For him in this world is ignominy, and on the
Day of Resurrection We make him taste the doom of burning. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
(And
unto him it will be said): This
is for that which your two hands have sent before, and because Allah
is no oppressor of His slaves. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
And
among humankind is he who worships Allah upon a narrow marge so that
if good befalls him he is content therewith, but if a trial befalls
him, he falls away utterly. He loses both the world and the Hereafter.
That is the sheer loss. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
He
calls, beside Allah, unto that which hurts him not nor benefits him.
That is the far error. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
He
calls unto him whose harm is nearer than his benefit; verily an evil
patron and verily an evil friend! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Lo!
Allah causes those who believe and do good works to enter the Gardens
underneath which rivers flow. Lo! Allah does what He intendeth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
Whoso
is wont to think (through envy)
that Allah will not give him
(Muhammad) victory in the world
and the Hereafter (and is enraged
at the thought of his victory),
let him stretch a rope up to the roof (of
his dwelling), and let him hang
himself. Then let him see whether his strategy dispells that whereat
he rages! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
Thus
We reveal it as plain revelations, and verily Allah guides whom He
will. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
Lo!
those who believe (this Revelation),
and those who are Jews, and the Sabaeans and the Christians and the
Magians and the idolaters--Lo! Allah will decide between them on the
Day of Resurrection. Lo! Allah is Witness over all things. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
Have
you not seen that unto Allah pays adoration whosoever is in the heavens
and whosoever is in the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the
stars, and the hills, and the trees, and the beasts, and many of mankind,
while there are many unto whom the doom is justly due. He whom Allah
scorns, there is none to give him honor. Lo! Allah does what He will. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
These
twain (the believers and the
disbelievers) are two opponents
who contend concerning their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve,
garments of fire will be cut out for them; boiling fluid will be poured
down on their heads. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Whereby
that which is in their bellies, and their skins too, will be melted; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
And
for them are hooked rods of iron. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
Whenever,
in their anguish, they would go forth from thence they are driven
back therein and (it is said
unto them): Taste the doom of
burning. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Lo!
Allah will cause those who believe and do good works to enter Gardens
underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will be allowed armlets
of gold, and pearls, and their raiment therein will be silk. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
They
are guided unto gentle speech; they are guided unto the path of the
Glorious One. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
Lo!
those who disbelieve and bar (men)
from the way of Allah and from the Inviolable Place of Worship, which
We have appointed for mankind together, the dweller therein and the
nomad; whosoever seeks wrongful partiality therein, him We shall cause
to taste a painful doom. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
And
(remember)
when We prepared for Abraham {Ibrahim}
the place of the (holy)
House, saying: Ascribe you no thing as partner unto Me, and purify
My House for those who make the round (thereof)
and those who stand and those who bow and make prostration. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
And
proclaim unto humankind the Pilgrimage. They will come unto you on
foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every deep ravine: |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
That
they may witness things that are of benefit to them, and mention the
name of Allah on appointed days over the beast of cattle that He has
bestowed upon them. Then eat thereof and feed therewith the poor unfortunate. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Then
let them make an end of their unkemptness and pay their vows and go
around the ancient House. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
That
(is the command).
And whoso magnifies the sacred things of Allah, it will be well for
him in the sight of his Lord. The cattle are lawful unto you save
that which has been told you. So shun the filth of idols, and shun
lying speech: |
|
|
|
