One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)
Does he not know that when the contents of graves burst forth
Translation 1260
when the secrets of hearts are uncovered, on that Day
Translation 1260
their Lord will be fully aware of them all
Translation 1260
The Crashing Blow
Translation 1260
What is the Crashing Blow
Translation 1260
What will explain to you what the Crashing Blow is
Translation 1260
On a Day when people will be like scattered moths
Translation 1260
and the mountains like tufts of wool
Translation 1260
the one whose good deeds are heavy on the scales
Translation 1260
will have a pleasant life
Translation 1260
but the one whose good deeds are light
Translation 1260
will have the Bottomless Pit for his home––
Translation 1260
what will explain to you what that is?––
Translation 1260
a blazing fire
Translation 1260
Striving for more distracts you
Translation 1260
until you go into your graves
Translation 1260
No indeed! You will come to know
Translation 1260
No indeed! In the end you will come to know
Translation 1260
No indeed! If only you knew for certain
Translation 1260
You will most definitely see Hellfire
Translation 1260
you will see it with the eye of certainty
Translation 1260
On that Day, you will be asked about your pleasures
Translation 1260
By the declining day
Translation 1260
man is [deep] in loss
Translation 1260
except for those who believe, do good deeds, urge one another to the truth, and urge one another to steadfastness
Translation 1260
Woe to every fault-finding backbiter
Translation 1260
who amasses riches, counting them over
Translation 1260
thinking they will make him live for ever
Translation 1260
No indeed! He will be thrust into the Crusher
Translation 1260
What will explain to you what the Crusher is
Translation 1260
It is God’s Fire, made to blaze
Translation 1260
which rises over people’s hearts
Translation 1260
It closes in on them
Translation 1260
in towering columns
Translation 1260
Do you [Prophet] not see how your Lord dealt with the army of the elephant
Translation 1260
Did He not utterly confound their plans
Translation 1260
He sent ranks of birds against them
Translation 1260
pelting them with pellets of hard-baked clay
Translation 1260
He made them [like] cropped stubble
Translation 1260
[He did this] to make the Quraysh feel secure
Translation 1260
secure in their winter and summer journeys
Translation 1260
So let them worship the Lord of this House
Translation 1260
who provides them with food to ward off hunger, safety to ward off fear
Translation 1260
[Prophet], have you considered the person who denies the Judgement
Translation 1260
It is he who pushes aside the orphan
Translation 1260
and does not urge others to feed the needy
Translation 1260
So woe to those who pray
Translation 1260
but are heedless of their prayer
Translation 1260
those who are all show
Translation 1260
and forbid common kindnesses
Translation 1260
We have truly given abundance to you [Prophet]––
Translation 1260
so pray to your Lord and make your sacrifice to Him alone––
Translation 1260
it is the one who hates you who has been cut off
Translation 1260
Say [Prophet], ‘Disbelievers
Translation 1260
I do not worship what you worship
Translation 1260
you do not worship what I worship
Translation 1260
I will never worship what you worship
Translation 1260
you will never worship what I worship
Translation 1260
you have your religion and I have mine.’
Translation 1260
When God’s help comes and He opens up your way [Prophet]
Translation 1260
when you see people embracing God’s faith in crowds
Translation 1260
celebrate the praise of your Lord and ask His forgiveness: He is always ready to accept repentance
Translation 1260
May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined! May he be ruined too
Translation 1260
Neither his wealth nor his gains will help him
Translation 1260
he will burn in the Flaming Fire––
Translation 1260
and so will his wife, the firewood-carrier
Translation 1260
with a palm-fibre rope around her neck
Translation 1260
Say, ‘He is God the One
Translation 1260
God the eternal
Translation 1260
He begot no one nor was He begotten
Translation 1260
No one is comparable to Him.’
Translation 1260
Say [Prophet], ‘I seek refuge with the Lord of daybreak
Translation 1260
against the harm in what He has created
Translation 1260
the harm in the night when darkness gathers
Translation 1260
the harm in witches when they blow on knots
Translation 1260
the harm in the envier when he envies.’
Translation 1260
Say, ‘I seek refuge with the Lord of people
Translation 1260
the Controller of people
Translation 1260
the God of people
Translation 1260
against the harm of the slinking whisperer––
Translation 1260
who whispers into the hearts of people––
Translation 1260
whether they be jinn or people.’
