People, be mindful of your Lord, for the earthquake of the Last Hour will be a mighty thing
Translation 1260
on the Day you see it, every nursing mother will think no more of her baby, every pregnant female will miscarry, you will think people are drunk when they are not, so severe will be God’s torment
Translation 1260
Yet still there are some who, with no knowledge, argue about God, who follow every devilish rebel
Translation 1260
fated to lead astray those who take his side, and guide them to the suffering of the blazing flame
Translation 1260
People, [remember,] if you doubt the Resurrection, that We created you from dust, then a drop of fluid, then a clinging form, then a lump of flesh, both shaped and unshaped: We mean to make Our power clear to you. Whatever We choose We cause to remain in the womb for an appointed time, then We bring you forth as infants and then you grow and reach maturity. Some die young and some are left to live on to such an age that they forget all they once knew. You sometimes see the earth lifeless, yet when We send down water it stirs and swells and produces every kind of joyous growth
Translation 1260
this is because God is the Truth; He brings the dead back to life; He has power over everything
Translation 1260
There is no doubt that the Last Hour is bound to come, nor that God will raise the dead from their graves
Translation 1260
yet still there are some who, with no knowledge or guidance or any book of enlightenment, argue about God
Translation 1260
turning scornfully aside to lead others away from God’s path. Disgrace in this world awaits such a person and, on the Day of Resurrection, We shall make him taste the suffering of the Fire
Translation 1260
[It will be said], ‘This is for what you have stored up with your own hands: God is never unjust to His creatures.’
Translation 1260
There are also some who serve God with unsteady faith: if something good comes their way, they are satisfied, but if they are tested, they revert to their old ways, losing both this world and the next- that is the clearest loss
Translation 1260
Instead of God, they call upon what can neither harm nor help them- that is straying far away
Translation 1260
or invoke one whose harm is closer than his help: an evil master and an evil companion
Translation 1260
But God will admit those who believe and do good deeds to Gardens graced with flowing streams. God does whatever He wishes
Translation 1260
Anyone who thinks that God will not support him in this world and the next should stretch a rope up to the sky, climb all the way up it, and see whether this strategy removes the cause of his anger
Translation 1260
In this way, We send the Quran down as clear messages, and God guides whoever He will
Translation 1260
As for the believers, those who follow the Jewish faith, the Sabians, the Christians, the Magians, and the idolaters, God will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection; God witnesses all things
Translation 1260
Do you not realize [Prophet] that everything in the heavens and earth submits to God: the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, and the animals? So do many human beings, though for many others punishment is well deserved. Anyone disgraced by God will have no one to honour him: God does whatever He will
Translation 1260
These two kinds of people disagree about their Lord. Garments of fire will be tailored for those who disbelieve; scalding water will be poured over their heads
Translation 1260
melting their insides as well as their skins
Translation 1260
there will be iron crooks to restrain them
Translation 1260
whenever, in their anguish, they try to escape, they will be pushed back in and told, ‘Taste the suffering of the Fire.’
Translation 1260
But God will admit those who believe and do good deeds to Gardens graced with flowing streams; there they will be adorned with golden bracelets and pearls; there they will have silken garments
Translation 1260
They were guided to good speech and to the path of the One Worthy of all Praise
Translation 1260
As for the disbelievers, who bar others from God’s path and from the Sacred Mosque- which We made for all people, residents and visitors alike- and who try to violate it with wrongdoing, We shall make them taste a painful punishment
Translation 1260
