4  THEY WILL SOON COME TO KNOW SURELY

5  THEY WILL SOON COME TO KNOW VERY SURELY

6  HAVE WE NOT MADE THE EARTH AS A BED?

7  AND MADE THE MOUNTAINS AS PEGS?

8  AND IN PAIRS CREATED YOU?

9  AND MADE YOUR SLEEP FOR REST FOR YOU?

10  AND MADE THE NIGHT AS A COVERING?

11  AND MADE THE DAY AS A MEANS FOR YOUR SUSTAINING?

12  AND HAVE WE NOT PLACED OVER YOU SEVEN HEAVENS?

13  AND PLACED A LIGHT OF SPLENDOR THEREIN?

14  DO WE NOT SEND DOWN FROM CLOUDS WATER IN ABUNDANCE? 

15  THAT WE MAY PRODUCE VEGETABLES FOR YOUR SUSTENANCE?

16  AND PRODUCE FOR YOU GARDENS OF LUXURIANCE?

AND YOU WILL COME FORTH IN CROWDS ROUNDED

19  THE HEAVENS AS IF THEY WERE DOORS WILL BE OPENED

20  THE MOUNTAINS WILL VANISH 
AS IF THEY WERE MIRAGES

21  AND TRULY WILL HELL 
LIE IN WAIT AS A PLACE TO DWELL

22  FOR THOSE IN TRANSGRESSION
A PLACE OF DESTINATION

587
CHAPTER 78.  THE GREAT NEWS                              SECTION 1 (CONT'D).  PART XXX 

23  FOR AGES THEY WILL DWELL THEREIN

24  NOTHING COOL WILL THEY TASTE NOR ANY DRINK

25  EXCEPT A BOILING FLUID AND FLUID TOO COLD TO DRINK

26  A REQUITAL FOR THEM MOST FITTING

27  SURELY THEY FEARED NOT THE RECKONING 

28  THEY TREATED OUR SIGNS AS FALSE AND WENT ON REJECTING

29  AND WE HAVE RESERVED ON RECORD EVERYTHING

30  SO TASTE THE FRUITS OF YOUR DEEDS
NO INCREASE WILL WE GRANT YOU EXCEPT IN PENALTIES

SECTION 2 

31  FOR THE RIGHTEOUS THERE WILL BE SUCCESS DIVINE

32  GARDENS ENCLOSED AND GRAPEVINES

33  COMPANIONS OF EQUAL AGE AND KIND

34  AND A PURE CUP OF WINE

35  NO VANITY WILL THEY HEAR OF ANY KIND

36  A GIFT FROM THE LORD OF MANKIND

37  FROM THE LORD OF EARTH AND HEAVEN AND ALL BETWEEN
GOD MOST GRACIOUS AND NONE WILL HAVE POWER TO INTERVENE 

38  THE DAY THAT THE SPIRIT AND THE ANGELIC BEINGS
WILL STAND FORTH IN RANKS AND NONE WILL BE SPEAKING

EXCEPT ANY WHO IS PERMITTED BY GOD IN HIS SIGHT
AND HE WILL ONLY SAY WHAT IS RIGHT

39  THAT IS THE TRUE DAY 
LET HIM WHO WILL TAKE A RETURN TO GOD STRAIGHTWAY

40  SURELY WE HAVE WARNED YOU OF A PENALTY
NEAR THE DAY WHEN MAN WILL SEE THE DEEDS 

WHICH HIS HANDS HAVE SENT AND THE DISBELIEVER WILL SAY 
WOE UNTO ME, I WISH I WERE MERE DUST THIS DAY

588
CHAPTER 79.  THOSE WHO TEAR OUT                                      SECTION 1.  PART XXX 

IN THE NAME OF GOD
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  BY THE ANGELS WHO TEAR OUT THE SOULS OF THE WICKED HARSHLY

2  BY THOSE WHO DRAW OUT THE SOULS OF THE BLESSED GENTLY

3  AND BY THOSE WHO GLIDE ALONG ON ERRANDS OF MERCY

4  THEN AS IN A RACE PRESS FORWARD 

5  THEN ARRANGE TO DO THE COMMANDS OF THEIR LORD

6  ONE DAY EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE IN COMMOTION
WILL BE IN VIOLENT COMMOTION

7  FOLLOWED BY OFTEN REPEATED COMMOTIONS

8  HEARTS THAT DAY WILL BE IN AGITATION

9  CAST DOWN WILL BE THE EYES OF THEIR OWNERS 

10  THEY SAY, WILL WE BE RETURNED TO WHAT WE WERE FORMER?

11  WHEN WE WILL HAVE BECOME ROTTEN BONES AND FURTHER?

12  THEY SAY, IT WOULD IN THAT CASE BE
A RETURN WITH LOSS CERTAINLY

13  BUT JUST A SINGLE CRY WILL IT BE

14  WHEN IN THE FULL AWAKENING OF THE RECKONING THEY WILL BE

15  HAS NOT REACHED TO YOU MOSES'S STORY?

16  WHEN HIS LORD CALLED HIM IN THE SACRED VALLEY?

17  GO TO PHARAOH FOR HE SURELY 
HAS TRANSGRESSED ALL BOUNDARIES

18  AND SAY TO HIM, WOULD YOU BE 
PURIFIED FROM INIQUITY?

19  AND THAT I GUIDE YOU TO YOUR LORD, SO FEAR HIM WITH HEED

20  SO MOSES SHOWED HIM A SIGN MIRACULOUS AND MIGHTY

21  BUT HE REJECTED IT AND WAS HAUGHTY

22  FURTHER HE TURNED HIS BACK STRIVING ARROGANTLY

23  SO HE GATHERED HIS PEOPLE AND PROCLAIMED PUBLICLY

24  SAYING, I AM YOUR LORD MOST HIGH, FULL OF GLORY

25  BUT GOD IN THIS LIFE DID PUNISH HIM
AND IN THE HEREAFTER AND MADE AN EXAMPLE OF HIM

26  SURELY IN THIS IS AN INSTRUCTIVE WARNING
FOR WHOEVER IS GOD-FEARING

589
CHAPTER 79.  THOSE WHO TEAR OUT                                      SECTION 2.  PART XXX 

27  ARE YOU THE MORE DIFFICULT IN CREATION
OR THE HEAVEN ABOVE WHICH IS GOD'S CREATION? 

28  ON HIGH HAS HE RAISED THE CANOPY
AND HAS GIVEN IT ORDER PERFECTLY

29  HE ENDOWS WITH DARKNESS THE NIGHT
AND ITS SPLENDOR HE BRINGS OUT WITH LIGHT

30  AND THE EARTH HAS HE EXTENDED MOREOVER

31  HE DRAWS OUT FROM IT, ITS MOISTURE AND PASTURE

32  HE HAS FIXED FIRMLY FOR YOU THE MOUNTAINS

33  AND YOUR CATTLE TO BE PROVISIONS

34  SO WHEN COMES THE GREAT EVENT OVERWHELMING

35  THE DAY WHEN MAN WILL REMEMBER ALL OF HIS STRIVING

36  AND PLACED IN FULL VIEW WILL BE THE HELL-FIRE 

37  THEN FOR THOSE WHO HAD BEEN TRANSGRESSORS

38  AND THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD THEY HAD PREFERRED

39  THEIR ABODE WILL BE THE HELL-FIRE

40  AND FOR THOSE WHO HAD ENTERTAINED THE FEAR OF STANDING  
BEFORE THEIR LORD AND HAD RESTRAINED THEIR YEARNINGS

41  THEY WILL BE IN GARDENS ABIDING

42  THEY ASK YOU ABOUT THE HOUR, WHEN WILL BE ITS APPOINTING?

43  ABOUT IT YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE TO SAY ANYTHING

44  WITH YOUR LORD IS THE LIMIT'S FIXING

45  YOU ARE BUT A WARNER FOR THE GOD-FEARING

46  THE DAY THEY SEE IT WILL BE AS IF THEIR STAYING
HAD BEEN BUT A SINGLE EVENING OR MORNING

590
CHAPTER 80.  HE FROWNED                                                          SECTION 1.  PART XXX 

IN THE NAME OF GOD
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  THE PROPHET TURNED AWAY FROWNING

2  BECAUSE THERE CAME TO HIM A BLIND MAN INTERRUPTING

3  BUT WHAT COULD CAUSE YOUR KNOWING
THAT HE MIGHT GROW IN SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING?

4  OR THAT HE MIGHT RECEIVE WARNING
AND MIGHT PROFIT FROM THE SPIRITUAL TEACHING?

5  BUT AS TO ONE WHO REGARDS HIMSELF AS SELF-SUFFICIENT

6  TO HIM YOU WOULD BE AN ATTENDANT

7  IT IS NO BLAME ON YOU IF HE GROW NOT IN UNDERSTANDING

8  BUT AS TO HIM WHO CAME TO YOU EARNESTLY STRIVING 

9  AND WITH HIS HEART FEARING

10  OF HIM YOU WERE UNATTENDING

11  BY NO MEANS SHOULD IT BE 
FOR IT IS A MESSAGE OF INSTRUCTION INDEED

12  THEREFORE WHOSOEVER WILL LET HIM REMEMBER

13  IT IS IN BOOKS HELD GREATLY IN HONOR

14  EXALTED IN DIGNITY KEPT PURE AND HOLY

15  WRITTEN BY THE HAND OF SCRIBES OF PIETY

16  HONORABLY AND JUSTLY

17  WOE TO MAN, WHAT HAS MADE HIM REJECT GOD?

18  FROM WHAT STUFF WAS HE CREATED FROM BY GOD?

19  FROM A SPERM DROP HE HAS CREATED HIM 
AND THEN IN DUE PROPORTIONS MOLDED HIM

20  THEN DOES HE MAKE HIS PATH SMOOTH FOR HIM

21  THEN HE CAUSES HIM TO DIE AND IN HIS GRAVE HE PUTS HIM

22  THEN WHEN IT IS HIS WILL HE WILL RAISE HIM

23  HE HAS NOT FULFILLED WHAT GOD HAS COMMANDED HIM

591
CHAPTER 80.  HE FROWNED                                        SECTION 1 (CONT'D).  PART XXX 

24  LET MAN LOOK AT HIS FOOD AND HOW WE PROVIDED IT FOR HIM

25  FOR THAT WE POUR FORTH WATER IN ABUNDANCE

26  AND WE SPOT THE EARTH IN FRAGMENTS

27  AND PRODUCE CORN THEREIN

28  AND NUTRITIOUS PLANTS AND GRAPES

29  AND OLIVES AND DATES

30  AND ENCLOSED GARDENS OF PERPETUITY
DENSE WITH LOFTY TREES

31  AND FRUITS AND VEGETATION

32  FOR YOU AND FOR YOUR CATTLE'S PROVISIONS

33  AT LENGTH WHEN THERE COMES THE NOISE DEAFENING THE EAR

34  THAT DAY WILL A MAN FLEE FROM HIS OWN BROTHER

35  AND FROM HIS MOTHER AND HIS FATHER

36  AND HIS WIFE AND HIS CHILDREN THAT HE FATHERED

37  EVERY MAN THAT DAY WILL HAVE ENOUGH BOTHERS
TO MAKE HIM CARELESS OF OTHERS

38  SOME FACES THAT DAY WILL BE BEAMING

39  LAUGHING AND REJOICING

40  AND OTHER FACES THAT DAY WILL HAVE DUST ON THEM

41  DARKNESS WILL COVER THEM

42  THOSE WILL BE
THE REJECTERS OF GOD, THE DOERS OF INIQUITY

592
CHAPTER 81.  THE FOLDING UP                                                    SECTION 1.  PART XXX 

IN THE NAME OF GOD
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  WHEN THE SUN IS FOLDED UP AND ITS LIGHT IS LOST

2  WHEN THE STARS FALL AND THEIR LUSTER IS LOST

3  WHEN THE MOUNTAINS ARE MADE TO VANISH

4  AND THE PREGNANT CAMELS ARE ABANDONED TO PERISH

5  WHEN THE WILD BEASTS ARE HERDED TOGETHER

6  WHEN THE OCEANS WITH A SWELL WILL BOIL OVER

7  WHEN THE SOULS ARE SORTED OUT

8  WHEN THE FEMALE INFANT BURIED ALIVE IS QUESTIONED ABOUT

9  FOR WHAT CRIME WAS SHE KILLED

10  WHEN THE SCROLLS ARE REVEALED

11  WHEN THE WORLD ON HIGH IS UNVEILED

12  WHEN HELL WILL BE KINDLED TO A BLAZING FIRE

13  AND WHEN THE GARDEN IS BROUGHT NEAR

14  EVERY SOUL WILL KNOW WHAT IT HAS PREPARED

15  I CALL TO WITNESS THE STARS

16  AS THEY HIDE OR GO STRAIGHT

17  AND THE NIGHT AS IT DISSIPATES

18  AND THE DAWN AS IT BREAKS

19  SURELY THIS IS THE WORD OF AN HONORABLE MESSENGER

20  HIGH IN RANK WITH GOD, THE OWNER OF POWER

21  WITH AUTHORITY
AND TRUSTWORTHY

22  AND YOUR COMPANION 
IS NOT A POSSESSED ONE

593
CHAPTER 81.  THE FOLDING UP                                  SECTION 1(CONT'D).  PART XXX 

23  WITHOUT DOUBT HE SAW HIM IN THE CLEAR HORIZON

24  NEITHER DOES HE 
WITHHOLD KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNSEEN GRUDGINGLY

25  NOR IS IT
THE WORD OF AN EVIL SPIRIT

26  THEN WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO?

27  THIS IS NOTHING LESS THAN A REMINDER TO YOU

28  TO WHOEVER WILLS TO GO STRAIGHT AMONG YOU

29  BUT YOU WILL NOT EXCEPT AS GOD DECREES
THE LORD AND CHERISHER OF THE WORLDS IS HE

594
  CHAPTER 82.  THE CLEAVING                                                        SECTION 1.  PART XXX 

IN THE NAME OF GOD 
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  WHEN THE SKY IS CLEFT ASUNDER

2  WHEN THE STARS ARE SCATTERED

3  WHEN BURST FORTH ARE THE OCEANS
 
4  AND WHEN THE GRAVES ARE OPENED

5  THEN EACH PERSON WILL KNOW WHAT HE HAS SENT BEFORE HIM
AND HE WILL KNOW WHAT HE HAS LEFT BEHIND HIM

6  OH MAN, WHAT HAS MADE YOU CARELESS
CONCERNING YOUR LORD THE MOST GENEROUS?

7  HIM WHO CREATED YOU AND FASHIONED YOU 
IN DUE PROPORTION AND GAVE A JUST BIAS TO YOU 

8  IN WHATEVER FORM HE WILLS DOES HE PUT YOU TOGETHER 

9  BUT OF RIGHT AND JUDGMENT YOU ARE REJECTERS

10  BUT AN ANGEL IS APPOINTED OVER YOU 

11  KIND AND HONORABLE WRITING DOWN WHAT YOU DO

12  THEY KNOW AND UNDERSTAND ALL THAT YOU DO

13  AND  THOSE WHO DO RIGHT
WILL BE IN DELIGHT

14  AND THE SINNERS
WILL BE IN HELL FIRE

15  WHICH THEY ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT WILL ENTER

16  AND THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP AWAY 

17  AND WHAT WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT IS THE JUDGMENT DAY?

18  AGAIN WHAT WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT IS THE JUDGMENT DAY?

19  IT WILL BE THE DAY WHEN NO SOUL WILL HAVE POWER 
TO DO ANYTHING FOR ANOTHER 
FOR THAT DAY GOD WILL BE THE COMMANDER

            

 595
CHAPTER 83.  DEALING IN FRAUD                                               SECTION 1.  PART XXX

IN THE NAME OF GOD
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  WOE TO THE CHEATERS

2  THOSE WHO WHEN THEY FROM MEN RECEIVE MEASURE
THEY DEMAND FROM THEM FULL MEASURE

3  AND WHEN THEY HAVE TO GIVE MEASURE
THEY GIVE LESS THAN DUE MEASURE

4  THEY THINK THAT THEY WILL NOT BE RAISED

5  UP ON A MIGHTY DAY

6  ALL MEN WILL STAND BEFORE GOD THAT DAY

7  THE RECORD OF THE WICKED IS PRESERVED IN THE PRISON

8  AND WHAT WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT IS THE PRISON?

9  IT IS THE BOOK IN WHICH THE DEEDS ARE WRITTEN

10  WOE TO THOSE WHO DENY THAT DAY

11  THOSE THAT DENY THE JUDGMENT DAY

12  AND NONE CAN DENY IT BUT THE TRANSGRESSOR 
BEYOND ALL BOUNDS, THE INGRATE SINNER

13  WHEN OUR MESSAGES ARE RECITED TO HIM CLEARLY
HE  SAYS, THESE ARE TALES OF THE ANCIENTS SURELY

14  NO, BUT THEIR HEARTS ARE STAINED BY THEIR ILL DEEDS

15  THEIR LORD THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE

16  FURTHER THEY WILL ENTER
INTO THE HELL FIRE

17  IT WILL BE SAID TO THEM, THIS IS THE REALITY 
OF WHICH YOU REJECTED FALSELY

18  THE RECORD OF THE RIGHTEOUS IS PRESERVED IN THE HIGH PLACES

19  AND WHAT WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT IS THE HIGH PLACES?

20  IT IS A BOOK IN WHICH DEEDS ARE WRITTEN ON ITS PAGES

21  TO WHICH BEAR WITNESS
THOSE WHO TO GOD ARE NEAREST

22  THE RIGHTEOUS WILL BE IN BLISS

23  ON THRONES WILL THEY COMMAND SIGHT

596
CHAPTER 83.  DEALING IN FRAUD                             SECTION 1(CONT'D).  PART XXX

24  YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THEIR FACES BEAMING BRIGHT

25  THEY WILL BE GIVEN TO DRINK
A PURE AND WHOLESOME DRINK

26  THE SEAL OF IT WILL BE MUSK AND FOR THIS LET ASPIRE
ALL  OF THOSE WHO WISH TO ASPIRE

27  IT WILL BE MIXED WITH HEAVENLY WATER

28  A SPRING FROM THE WATERS 
WHERE THOSE WHO ARE NEAREST TO GOD ARE THE DRINKERS

29  SURELY THOSE WHO ARE GUILTY
USED TO LAUGH AT THOSE WHO BELIEVE

30  WHEN THEY PASSED BY THEM WINKED AT EACH OTHER IN MOCKERY 

31  AND UPON THEIR RETURNING
TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE THEY WOULD RETURN JESTING

32  AND WHENEVER THEY SAW THEM THEY WOULD SAY 
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE TRULY ASTRAY

33  BUT NOT KEEPERS OVER THEM WERE THEY

34  BUT ON THIS DAY THE BELIEVERS 
WILL LAUGH AT THE DISBELIEVERS

35  ON THRONES LOOKING AT ALL THINGS

36  THE DISBELIEVERS ARE PAID BACK FOR THEIR DOINGS

    

597
CHAPTER 84.  THE BURSTING ASUNDER                                   SECTION 1.  PART XXX

IN THE NAME OF GOD
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  WHEN THE HEAVEN IS SPLIT

2  AND LISTENS TO THE COMMAND OF ITS LORD AND IT MUST DO IT

3  AND THE EARTH FLATTENED OUT IS IT

4  AND BECOMES CLEANED OUT AND CAST OUT WHAT IS IN IT

5  AND LISTENS TO THE COMMAND OF ITS LORD AND IT MUST DO IT

6  OH MAN, TRULY
YOU ARE EVER TOILING ON TOWARDS YOUR LORD PAINFULLY 
BUT YOU WILL MEET HIM SURELY

7  THEN HE WHO IS GIVEN IN HAND
HIS RECORD IN HIS RIGHT HAND

8  SOON WILL HIS ACCOUNTING
BE TAKEN BY AN EASY RECKONING

9  AND HE WILL TURN TO HIS PEOPLE REJOICING

10  BUT HE THAT
IS GIVEN HIS RECORD BEHIND HIS BACK

11  FOR PERDITION HE WILL BE CRYING

12  AND WILL ENTER A FIRE BLAZING 

13  HE WENT AMONG HIS PEOPLE REJOICING

14  HE DID NOT THINK THAT TO US HE WOULD BE RETURNING

15  FOR SURELY HIS LORD ALWAYS WATCHES

16  SO I CALL TO WITNESS THE SUNSET REDNESS

17  THE NIGHT AND WHATEVER IT GATHERS IN ITS DARKNESS

18  AND THE MOON IN HER FULLNESS

19  YOU WILL TRAVEL FROM STAGES TO STAGES

20  WHAT IS THE MATTER
WITH THEM THAT THEY ARE NOT BELIEVERS?

598
CHAPTER 84.  THE BURSTING ASUNDER     SECTION 1(CONT'D).  PART XXX

21  AND WHEN THE QURAN IS READ TO THEM 
NO ADORATION IS SHOWN BY THEM

22  BUT ON THE CONTRARY 
THEY REJECT IT, THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE

23  BUT GOD KNOWS FULLY
WHAT THEY KEEP SECRETLY

24  SO ANNOUNCE TO THEM A GRIEVOUS PENALTY

25  EXCEPT TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE 
AND WORK RIGHTEOUS DEEDS

26  THERE IS A REWARD FOR THEM
THAT WILL NEVER FAIL THEM 

 

599
CHAPTER 85. THE STARS                                                                SECTION 1.  PART XXX

IN THE NAME OF GOD
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  BY THE SKY WITH THE STARS ON DISPLAY

2  BY THE RESURRECTION DAY

3  BY ONE THAT BEARS WITNESS
AND THAT TO WHICH HE BEARS WITNESS

4  WOE TO THE MAKER 
OF THE PIT OF FIRE

5  THE ABUNDANTLY FUELED FIRE

6  THEY SAT OVER AGAINST THE FIRE

7  AND WITNESSED WHAT THEY WERE DOING AGAINST THE BELIEVERS

8  AND THEY ILL TREATED THEM FOR NO REASON OTHER 
THAN THAT THEY BELIEVED GOD, EXALTED IN POWER  
WORTHY OF ALL PRAISE FOREVER

9  HIM TO WHOM BELONGS THE DOMINION
OF ALL OF THE EARTH AND ALL THE HEAVENS
AND GOD IS THE WITNESS OVER ALL CREATION

10  THOSE WHO PERSECUTE THOSE WHO BELIEVE 
AND DO NOT TURN IN REPENTANCE WILL HAVE THE PENALTY
OF HELL AND THEY WILL HAVE THE PENALTY
OF THE FIRE BURNING FIERCELY

11  FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND DO RIGHTEOUS DEEDS
WILL BE GARDENS WITH RIVERS FLOWING BENEATH 
THAT IS THE GREAT SALVATION INDEED

12  THE GRIP AND POWER OF YOUR LORD IS MIGHTY

13  IT IS HE WHO CREATES LIFE
FROM THE BEGINNING AND HE CAN RESTORE LIFE

14  AND HE IS FULL OF FORGIVENESS AND KINDNESS

15  OWNER OF THE THRONE, THE GLORIOUS

16  WHATEVER HE INTENDS, HE DOES

17  HAS NOT REACHED YOU THE PARABLE

18  OF PHARAOH AND THE THAMUD PEOPLE?

19  YET THOSE WHO ARE UNBELIEVING
THEY PERSIST IN REJECTING

20  BUT GOD IS ALL ENCOMPASSING

21  THIS IS A GLORIOUS QURAN

22  IN A TABLET PRESERVED AND WRITTEN

600
CHAPTER 86.  THE COMER BY NIGHT                                        SECTION 1.  PART XXX

IN THE NAME OF GOD
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  BY THE HEAVEN AND THE NIGHT COMER

2  AND WHAT WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT IS THE NIGHT COMER?

3  IT IS THE PIERCING BRIGHT STAR

4  THERE IS NO SOUL BUT IT HAS OVER IT A PROTECTOR 

5  NOW LET MAN BUT THINK FROM WHAT HE IS CREATED

6  HE IS CREATED FROM A DROP OF SPERM EMITTED

7  FROM BETWEEN THE BACKBONE AND THE RIBS

8  SURELY HE IS ABLE TO RETURN HIM TO LIFE

9  ON THE DAY WHEN HIDDEN THINGS WILL BE BROUGHT TO LIGHT

10  MAN WILL HAVE NO POWER
AND HE WILL HAVE NO HELPER

11  BY THE FIRMAMENT WHEN IT TURNS ABOUT

12  AND BY THE EARTH WHICH OPENS OUT

13  THIS IS THE WORD THAT SORTS OUT

14  IT IS NOT AN AMUSING THING

15  AS FOR THEM THEY ARE BUT PLOTTING A SCHEME

16  AND I TOO AM PLANNING A SCHEME

17  GRANT A DELAY TO THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE
RESPITE THEM FOR A WHILE GENTLY

 

601
CHAPTER 87.  THE MOST HIGH                                                     SECTION 1.  PART XXX

IN THE NAME OF GOD
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  GLORIFY THE NAME OF YOUR LORD AND CHERISHER

2  HE WHO IS THE CREATOR
OF EVERYTHING AND GAVE IT ORDER

3  WHO HAS ORDAINED LAWS AND GRANTED GUIDANCE SURE

4  AND WHO BRINGS OUT THE GREEN LUSCIOUS PASTURE

5  AND THEN MAKES IT DRY UP AND DUST COLORED

6  AND THE QURAN, WE WILL MAKE YOU RECITE IT
SO THAT YOU WILL NOT FORGET IT

7  EXCEPT AS GOD WILLS
FOR HE KNOWS WHAT IS REVEALED 
AND HE KNOWS WHAT IS CONCEALED

8  AND WE WILL MAKE IT EASY 
FOR YOU IN A WAY THAT IS EASY

9  THEREFORE GIVE ADMONITION
FOR PROFITABLE IS ADMONITION

10  HE WHO FEARS GOD WILL RECEIVE ADMONITION

11  BUT IT WILL BE AVOIDED BY THE UNFORTUNATE ONES

12  WHO WILL ENTER THE GREAT FIRE

13  IN WHICH THEY WILL NOT LIVE OR DIE EITHER

14  BUT THOSE WHO PURIFY THEMSELVES WILL PROSPER

15  WHO GLORIFY GOD AND LIFT THEIR HEARTS IN PRAYER

16  NAY, BUT THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD YOU DO PREFER

17  ALTHOUGH MORE LASTING AND BETTER IS THE HEREAFTER

18  AND THIS IS IN THE BOOKS OF REVELATIONS EARLIER

19  ABRAHAM AND MOSES'S SCRIPTURES

CHAPTER 88.  THE OVERWHELMING EVENT                            SECTION 1.  PART XXX

IN THE NAME OF GOD
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  HAS THERE COME TO YOU THE NARRATION
OF THE OVERWHELMING DAY OF RESURRECTION?

2  SOME FACES THAT DAY WILL BE IN HUMILIATION

3  HARD AND WEARY IN LABOR

4  WHILE THEY ENTER THE BLAZING FIRE

5  WHILE THEY ARE GIVEN TO DRINK HOT BOILING WATER

6  ALL FOOD FOR THEM WILL BE BITTER

7  NEITHER NOURISHING NOR SATISFYING HUNGER

8  JOYFUL THAT DAY WILL BE THE FACES OF OTHERS

9  THAT ARE PLEASED WITH THEIR ENDEAVORS

10  IN A GARDEN HIGH AND LOFTY

11  WHERE NO WORDS WILL THEY HEAR OF VANITY

12  A BUBBLING SPRING THEREIN WILL BE

13  THEREIN WILL BE THRONES OF DIGNITY

14  AND GOBLETS PLACED READY

15  AND CUSHIONS IN ROWS SET

16  AND RICH SPREAD OUT CARPETS

17  DO THEY NOT LOOK AT THE CAMELS HOW THEY ARE MADE?

18  AND THE SKY HOW IT IS RAISED?

19  AND AT THE MOUNTAINS HOW FIRM ARE THEY?

20  AND AT THE EARTH HOW IT IS SPREAD OUT IN ARRAY?

21  SO REMIND THEM FOR YOU ARE ONLY A REMINDER

22  YOU ARE NOT ONE TO MANAGE MEN'S AFFAIRS

23  BUT IF THEY TURN AWAY FROM GOD AS REJECTERS

24  GOD WILL PUNISH THEM WITH A PENALTY THAT WILL BE SEVERE

25  THEN TO US THEIR RETURN WILL BE

26  THEN WE WILL CALL THEM TO ACCOUNTABILITY

603
CHAPTER 89.  THE BREAK OF DAY                                              SECTION 1.  PART XXX

IN THE NAME OF GOD 
THE MOST GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD

1  BY THE DAWN IN ITS LIGHT

2  BY THE TEN NIGHTS

3  BY THE EVEN AND ODD WAYS

4  BY THE NIGHT WHEN IT PASSES AWAY

5  IS THERE NOT IN THESE EVIDENCE SUFFICING 
THOSE MEN OF UNDERSTANDING?

6  SEE HOW THE AD PEOPLE WERE IN YOUR LORD'S DEALING?

7  AND OF IRAM HAVING LOFTY BUILDINGS?

8  THE LIKE OF WHICH THERE HAS BEEN NO DUPLICATING?

9  AND THE THAMUD WHO CUT OUT ROCKS TO MAKE DWELLINGS?

10  AND WITH PHARAOH
THE LORD OF HOSTS?

11  ALL THESE, THE LIMITS THEY DID EXCEED

12  AND MADE GREAT MISCHIEF INDEED

13  SO YOUR LORD POURED ON THEM PENALTIES

14  FOR YOUR LORD IS WATCHFUL SURELY

15  AS FOR MAN, WHEN HIS LORD TRIES HIM
THEN GIVES HIM HONOR AND FAVORS HIM
MY LORD HONORS ME, IT IS SAID BY HIM

16  BUT WHEN HIS LORD TRIES HIM 
RESTRICTING HIS SUBSISTENCE FOR HIM
MY LORD HAS HUMILIATED ME, IT IS SAID BY HIM

17  NAY, BUT THE ORPHANS YOU DO NOT HONOR

18  NOR TO FEED THE POOR DO YOU ENCOURAGE ON ONE ANOTHER 

19  AND INHERITANCE WITH GREED YOU DO DEVOUR

20  AND YOU LOVE AS AN INORDINATE LOVER

21  NAY, WHEN THE EARTH IS POUNDED TO POWDER

22  AND GOD COMES WITH ANGELS IN RANKS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER

23  AND HELL THAT DAY IS BROUGHT NEAR
AND ON THAT DAY MAN WILL SURELY REMEMBER 
OF WHAT USE WILL IT DO FOR HIM THEN TO REMEMBER?

604
CHAPTER 89.  THE BREAK OF DAY                            SECTION 1(CONT'D).  PART XXX

24  HE WILL SAY, WOULD THAT I HAD SENT FORTH GOOD DEEDS 
FOR THIS MY FUTURE LIFE INDEED

25  FOR THAT DAY HIS CHASTISEMENT WILL BE 
SUCH AS NONE ELSE CAN INFLICT THE PENALTY

26  AND HIS BONDS 
WILL BE SUCH AS NONE OTHER CAN BOND

27  TO THE RIGHTEOUS SOUL WILL BE SAID, OH SOUL IN RESTING

28  RETURN TO YOUR GOD WELL PLEASED AND WELL PLEASING

29  SO AMONG MY SERVANTS ENTER

30  AND INTO MY GARDEN ENTER

  

605
CHAPTER 90.  THE CITY                                                                   SECTION 1.  PART XXX

9  AND A TONGUE AND A PAIR OF LIPS FOR HIM?

10  AND SHOWN THE TWO HIGHWAYS TO HIM?

11  BUT HE HAS MADE NO HASTE ON THE PATH THAT IS STEEP

12  AND WHAT WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU THE PATH THAT IS STEEP?

13  IT IS SETTING A SLAVE FREE

14  OR THE GIVING OF FOOD IN A DAY OF NEED

15  TO THE ORPHAN OR ONE RELATED CLOSELY

16  OR TO A POOR MAN AFFLICTED WITH MISERY

17  THEN WILL HE BE OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE 
AND WHO ENJOIN PATIENCE AND CONSTANCY 
AND ENJOIN KIND AND COMPASSIONATE DEEDS

18  THESE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE RIGHT HAND

19  AND THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE LEFT HAND

14  SO I WARN YOU OF A FIRE BLAZING 

15  WHICH NONE BUT THE UNFORTUNATE ONES WILL ENTER

16  WHO TURNS HIS BACK AND ARE REJECTERS

17  BUT THOSE MOST DEVOTED TO GOD WILL BE
REMOVED FAR FROM IT SAFELY

18  THOSE WHO SPEND THEIR WEALTH FOR PURIFICATION

19  AND HAVE IN THEIR MINDS NO FAVORS FROM ANYONE

20  BUT ONLY THE DESIRE
TO SEEK GOD'S PLEASURE

21  AND THEY WILL SOON BE
PLEASED COMPLETELY
