The Sure Reality!
|
|
|
|
2:
What is the Sure Reality?
|
|
|
|
3:
And what will make thee realise 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 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 apostle 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 realised 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 honoured apostle;
|
|
|
|
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 apostle 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.
