| 1 | The Sure Reality! | ||
| 2 | What is the Sure Reality?. | ||
| 3 | And what will make thee realize 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 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 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 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 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 honored 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. | ||
