| 1 | The Reality (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)!
| |
| 2 | What is the Reality?
| |
| 3 | And what will make you know what the Reality is?
| |
| 4 | Thamood and Ad people denied the Qariah (the striking Hour (of Judgement))!
| |
| 5 | As for Thamood, they were destroyed by the awful cry!
| |
| 6 | And as for Ad, they were destroyed by a furious violent wind;
| |
| 7 | Which Allah imposed on them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so that you could see men lying overthrown (destroyed), as if they were hollow trunks of date-palms!
| |
| 8 | Do you see any remnants of them?
| |
| 9 | And Firaun (Pharaoh), and those before him, and the cities overthrown (the towns of the people of (Lout (Lot)) committed sin,
| |
| 10 | And they disobeyed their Lords Messenger, so He punished them with a strong punishment.
| |
| 11 | Verily! When the water rose beyond its limits (Noohs (Noah) Flood), We carried you (mankind) in the floating (ship that was constructed by Nooh (Noah)).
| |
| 12 | That We might make it a remembrance for you, and the keen ear (person) may (hear and) understand it.
| |
| 13 | Then when the Trumpet will be blown with one blowing (the first one),
| |
| 14 | And the earth and the mountains shall be removed from their places, and crushed with a single crushing,
| |
| 15 | Then on that Day shall the (Great) Event befall,
| |
| 16 | And the heaven will split asunder, for that Day it (the heaven will be frail (weak), and torn up,
| |
| 17 | And the angels will be on its sides, and eight angels will, that Day, bear the Throne of your Lord above them.
| |
| 18 | That Day shall you be brought to Judgement, not a secret of you will be hidden.
| |
| 19 | Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Take, read my Record!
| |
| 20 | "Surely, I did believe that I shall meet my Account!"
| |
| 21 | So he shall be in a life, well-pleasing.
| |
| 22 | In a lofty Paradise,
| |
| 23 | The fruits in bunches whereof will be low and near at hand.
| |
| 24 | Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent on before you in days past!
| |
| 25 | But as for him who will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: "I wish that I had not been given my Record!
| |
| 26 | "And that I had never known, how my Account is?
| |
| 27 | "I wish, would that it had been my end (death)!
| |
| 28 | "My wealth has not availed me,
| |
| 29 | "My power and arguments (to defend myself) have gone from me!"
| |
| 30 | (It will be said): "Seize him and fetter him,
| |
| 31 | Then throw him in the blazing Fire.
| |
| 32 | "Then fasten him with a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits!"
| |
| 33 | Verily, He used not to believe in Allah, the Most Great,
| |
| 34 | And urged not on the feeding of AlMiskeen (the poor),
| |
| 35 | So no friend has he here this Day,
| |
| 36 | Nor any food except filth from the washing of wounds,
| |
| 37 | None will eat except the Khatioon (sinners, disbelievers, polytheists, etc.).
| |
| 38 | So I swear by whatsoever you see,
| |
| 39 | And by whatsoever you see not,
| |
| 40 | That this is verily the word of an honoured Messenger (i.e. Jibrael (Gabriel) or Muhammad SAW which he has brought from Allah).
| |
| 41 | It is not the word of a poet, little is that you believe!
| |
| 42 | Nor is it the word of a soothsayer (or a foreteller), little is that you remember!
| |
| 43 | This is the Revelation sent down from the Lord of the Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
| |
| 44 | And if he (Muhammad SAW) had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allah),
| |
| 45 | We surely should have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might),
| |
| 46 | And then certainly should have cut off his life artery (Aorta),
| |
| 47 | And none of you could withhold Us from (punishing) him.
| |
| 48 | And verily, this Quran is a Reminder for the Muttaqoon (pious - see V.2:2).
| |
| 49 | And verily, We know that there are some among you that belie (this Quran). (Tafsir At-Tabaree, Vol. 29, Page 68)
| |
| 50 | And indeed it (this Quran) will be an anguish for the disbelievers (on the Day of Resurrection).
| |
| 51 | And Verily, it (this Quran) is an absolute truth with certainty .
| |
| 52 | So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.
