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. Thamûd and 'Ad people denied the Qâri'ah
[the striking Hour (of Judgement)]!
5. As for Thamûd, they were destroyed by the
awful cry!
6. And as for 'Ad, they were destroyed by a
furious violent wind;
7. Which Allâh 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 Fir'aun (Pharaoh), and those before him,
and the cities overthrown [the towns of the people of [Lout (Lot)] committed sin,
10. And they disobeyed their Lord's Messenger,
so He punished them with a strong punishment.
11. Verily! When the water rose beyond its
limits [Nûh's (Noah) Flood], We carried you (mankind) in the floating [ship that was
constructed by Nûh (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 Allâh,
the Most Great,
34. And urged not on the feeding of AlMiskîn
(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 Khâti'ûn (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 which he has brought from Allâh].
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 ) had forged a false
saying concerning Us (Allâh),
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 Qur'ân is a Reminder for
the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2).
49. And verily, We know that there are some
among you that belie (this Qur'ân). [Tafsir At-Tabarî, Vol. 29, Page 68]
50. And indeed it (this Qur'ân) will be an
anguish for the disbelievers (on the Day of Resurrection).
51. And Verily, it (this Qur'ân) is an
absolute truth with certainty .
52. So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most
Great. |
