Witness are these Messages (to the Sublime Truth), sent forth one after another.
|
|
2. * |
As they gain strength like a tempest.
|
|
3. * |
And spread (the Truth) far and wide.
|
|
4. * |
While distinguishing the Right from Wrong with a clear distinction.
|
|
5. * |
In order to deliver the Reminder (into the hearts).
|
|
6. * |
Whether one erases his faults or sees the danger signs. ('Uzr' = Excuse = Justification = Good news = Reasoning = Attempt to get rid of one's shortcomings. 'Nuzr' = Warning = Posting danger signs).
|
|
7. * |
Behold, all that you are promised in this Writ will come to pass.
|
|
8. * |
So when the stars lose their luster. (The small groups of opponents fade away).
|
|
9. * |
And when the sky is rent asunder. (Every high tyrant is decimated).
|
|
10. * |
And when the mountains are blown away as dust. (The great ones who enslave the weak float around like flakes of wool). (20:105), (56:5).
|
|
11. * |
And when all Messengers are summoned at the time appointed. (The unanimity of the Message of all Messengers will become evident).
|
|
12. * |
For what Day is the term delayed?
|
|
13. * |
For the Day of Decision!
|
|
14. * |
And what will enlighten you what that Day of Decision is?
|
|
15. * |
Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice! ('Kizb' = Lie = Belie = Deny the Truth in practical dealings = Deny by action. 'Kufr' = Frank denial in word and action).
|
|
16. * |
Did We not annihilate the former generations?
|
|
17. * |
Then We made them followed by later generations.
|
|
18. * |
Thus do We always deal with the guilty.
|
|
19. * |
Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice!
|
|
20. * |
Did We not create you from a humble fluid? (How, then, you forget your common origin and being humble to one another?)
|
|
21. * |
Which We then kept in a safe place. (23:13).
|
|
22. * |
For a term appointed.
|
|
23. * |
Thus We have determined (all things). How excellent is Our determining! (Appointing due measure of all things).
|
|
24. * |
Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice!
|
|
25. * |
Have We not made the earth a vessel -
|
|
26. * |
Both for the living and the dead? (The cycle of life and death goes on right here). (3:27), (6:95), (10:31), (30:19).
|
|
27. * |
And placed therein firm lofty mountains (serving as water reservoirs), and given you fresh water to drink.
|
|
28. * |
Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice!
|
|
29. * |
Walk unto that which you used to belie.
|
|
30. * |
Walk unto the threefold shadow.
|
|
31. * |
Giving neither cooling shade nor shelter from the Flame.
|
|
32. * |
Behold, it throws up sparks huge as castles.
|
|
33. * |
Moving like the caravans of bright yellow camels.
|
|
34. * |
Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice!
|
|
35. * |
This is a Day when they are not able to speak.
|
|
36. * |
Nor will they be allowed to make excuses.
|
|
37. * |
Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice!
|
|
38. * |
This is the Day of Decision. We have brought you and the generations of old together.
|
|
39. * |
Now, if you have a trick, try it against Me.
|
|
40. * |
Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice!
|
|
41. * |
Behold, those who walk aright, are amid shades and springs.
|
|
42. * |
And fruit as they desire.
|
|
43. * |
Enjoy, eat and drink. Welcome for what you have accomplished!
|
|
44. * |
Behold, thus do We reward the doers of good to others.
|
|
45. * |
Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice!
|
|
46. * |
Behold, you guilty ones! Enjoy and take your ease for a little while.
|
|
47. * |
Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice!
|
|
48. * |
And now when they are told, "Bow down", they bow not down! (They do not submit to Divine Commands).
|
|
49. * |
Anguish on that Day for those who deny the Truth in practice!
|
|
50. * |
In what Hadith, after this, will they believe?
