The Sure Reality!
|
|
2. |
What is the Sure Reality?
|
|
3. |
And what will make thee realize what the Sure Reality is?
|
|
4. |
The Thamüd and the Àd people disbelieved in the Day of Noise Calamity!
|
|
5. |
But the Thamüd,- they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning!
|
|
6. |
And the Àd, 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 overthrown in its (path), as if 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 messenger 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 Reminder 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 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 think 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 realized 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, insert him in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits!
|
|
33. |
"This was he that would not believe in Allah the 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 foul pus from the washing of wounds, 60a
|
|
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 honored messenger;
|
|
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 messenger 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 God-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.
