In the name of Allah, the Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful. And the
Glorious Qur’an. Rather, they
wonder that a
warner has come to them from among themselves. And the
disbelievers say, “This is an amazing thing. When we have died and
become
dust, that is an impossible
return. We
know what the earth takes of them, and
with Us is a record that preserves.” Rather, they
denied the truth when it
came to them, so they are
in a confused state. Have
they not looked at
the sky
above them - how We constructed it and adorned it and how it
has no differences? And the earth - We spread it out and
placed therein firm mountains. And We caused to
grow therein [something] of every
beautiful kind, which you can see. And a reminder for every enlightened
servant. And We
sent down from
the sky
blessed water, and
We caused to grow thereby
gardens and grain for
harvest and tall palm trees - tall palm trees -
here is a stalk of dates in layers - a
provision for the
servants. And We revived thereby a
dead land. Thus was the
exodus. Before them, the people of Noah and the companions of the Messenger and
Thamud and Aad and
Pharaoh and the brothers of
Lot and the companions of the thicket and the people of Tubba denied.
All denied the messengers, so Our threat came true. Did We not cause deafness to come about with the
first creation? Rather, they are in doubt about a
new creation. Indeed, We created
man and We know what his soul whispers to him. And We are the Knowing of the truth. Nearer
to him than the
jugular vein, as the two
receivers, on the right and on the left, receive
[laughter].
He does not utter a word except that with him is an
ascension ready. And the
intoxication of death will come in
truth. That is what you were avoiding. And the Trumpet will be blown. That is the
Day of
Threat, and the [day of] punishment
will come. Every soul will have with it a
driver
and a witness. You were
heedless of
this, but We have removed
from you
your covering, so your sight today is
sharp. And his companion will say, “This is what I have ready.” The
throwing into
Hell. The throwing into
Hell. Every stubborn disbeliever, one who
defies good, transgresses, transgresses, and desires.
Who has set up with Allah another god - will be thrown into the
severe punishment. His companion will say, “Our Lord, I did
not make him transgress,
but he was [now]
in [a state of]
error far away.” He will say, “Do
not dispute in My presence, for I have already presented
to you the
threat. The word with Me does not change, and
I am not unjust.”
[laughter] to the
servants on the Day when We will say to
Hell, “It
is filled,” and it will say, “Is there any
more?” And
Paradise will be brought near for the righteous, not
far away. This is what you are
promised. This is what you are promised. For every penitent, [who] has
feared the Most Merciful
unseen,
and comes with a heart
repentant. Enter it with
the letter lam. Enter it in
peace. That is the Day of
Eternity. They will have whatever
they wish
therein, and with Us is
more. And how many generations before them We destroyed who were mightier than them in force? So they searched
throughout the lands. Is there any
erasure? Indeed
in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who
listens while he is a
witness. And We certainly created the heavens and the earth and whatever is
between them and whatever is between them in six
days, and no harm touched Us from the torment of the night. So be
patient over what
they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting of the sun, and during the
night exalt Him and at the ends of
prostration. And listen on the Day when the crier calls. And listen on the Day when the
crier calls from a place
nearby. The Day they hear the blast in truth. That is the Day of Emergence. Indeed, it is We who give
life
and cause death, and to Us is the
final destination. The Day the earth will split
open and scatter over them. That is an assembly
easy for Us. We know best what they
say,
and you are not a compeller over them. So
the Qur’an will remind whoever fears My
threat.
