1

O mankind, fear the (wrath of) your Lord! Indeed, the earthquake of the Hour (of Judgement) will be an awesome thing.

A.Maududi 22:1

2

On the Day when you witness it, the suckling woman shall utterly neglect the infant she suckles, and every pregnant woman shall cast her burden, and you will see people as though they are drunk, when they are not drunk; but dreadful shall be Allah's chastisement.

A.Maududi 22:2

3

Among people there are some who wrangle about Allah without knowledge and follow every rebellious devil,

A.Maududi 22:3

4

although it is decreed about him that he shall lead into error whosoever takes him for a friend, and will direct him to the torment of the Fire.

A.Maududi 22:4

5

O mankind! If you have any doubt concerning Resurrection, then know that it is surely We Who created you from dust, then from a drop of sperm, then from a clot of blood, then from a little lump of flesh, some of it shapely and other shapeless. (We are rehearsing this) that We may make the reality clear to you. We cause (the drop of sperm) that We please to remain in the wombs till an appointed time. We bring you forth as infants (and nurture you) that you may come of age. Among you is he that dies (at a young age) and he who is kept back to the most abject age so that after once having known, he reaches a stage when he knows nothing. You see the earth dry and barren and then no sooner than We send down water upon it, it begins to quiver and swell and brings forth every kind of beauteous vegetation.

A.Maududi 22:5

6

All this is because Allah, He is the Truth, and because He resurrects the dead, and because He has power over everything,

A.Maududi 22:6

7

(all of which shows that) the Hour shall surely come to pass - in this there is no doubt - and Allah shall surely resurrect those that are in graves.

A.Maududi 22:7

8

And among people are those that wrangle about Allah without knowledge, without any true guidance, and without any scripture to enlighten them.

A.Maududi 22:8

9

They wrangle arrogantly, intent on leading people astray from the Way of Allah. Such shall suffer disgrace in this world and We shall cause them to taste the chastisement of burning (in the Next).

A.Maududi 22:9

10

That is the outcome of what your own hands have wrought, for Allah never wrongs His creatures.

A.Maududi 22:10

11

And among people is he who worships Allah on the borderline; if any good befalls him, he is satisfied; but if a trial afflicts him, he utterly turns away. He will incur the loss of this world and the Hereafter. That indeed is a clear loss.

A.Maududi 22:11

12

He invokes, instead of Allah, those who can neither harm nor benefit him. That indeed is straying far away.

A.Maududi 22:12

13

He invokes those that are more likely to cause him harm than benefit. Such is surely an evil patron, and an evil associate.

A.Maududi 22:13

14

(In contrast) Allah will assuredly cause those who believe and act righteously to enter Gardens beneath which rivers flow. For, most certainly, Allah does whatever He pleases.

A.Maududi 22:14

15

Anyone who fancies that Allah will not support him in this world and in the Hereafter, let him reach out to heaven through a rope, and then make a hole in the sky and see whether his device can avert that which enrages him.

A.Maududi 22:15

16

Even so We have revealed the Qur'an with Clear Signs. Verily Allah guides whomsoever He wills.

A.Maududi 22:16

17

On the Day of Resurrection Allah will most certainly judge among those who believe, and those who became Jews, and Sabaeans, and Christians, and Magians, and those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity. Surely Allah watches over everything.

A.Maududi 22:17

18

Have you not seen that all those who are in the heavens and all those who are in the earth prostrate themselves before Allah; and so do the sun and the moon, and the stars and the mountains, and the trees, and the beasts, and so do many human beings, and even many of those who are condemned to chastisement? And he whom Allah humiliates, none can give him honour. Allah does whatever He wills.

A.Maududi 22:18

19

These two groups (the believers and unbelievers) are in dispute about their Lord. As for those that disbelieve, garments of fire have been cut out for them; boiling water shall be poured down over their heads,

A.Maududi 22:19

20

causing (not only) their skins but all that is in their bellies as well to melt away.

A.Maududi 22:20

21

There shall be maces of iron to lash them.

A.Maududi 22:21

22

Whenever they try, in their anguish, to escape from Hell, they will be driven back into it, (and shall be told): "Now taste the torment of burning."

A.Maududi 22:22

23

(On the other hand), Allah will cause those who believed and acted righteously to enter the Gardens beneath which rivers flow. They shall be decked in them with bracelets of gold and pearls and their raiment shall be of silk.

A.Maududi 22:23

24

They were guided (to accept) the pure word; they were guided to the Way of the Praiseworthy (Lord).

A.Maududi 22:24

25

Indeed those who disbelieve and who (now) hinder people from the Way of Allah and hinder them from the Holy Mosque which We have set up (as a place of worship) for all people, equally for those who dwell therein and for those who come from outside, (they surely deserve punishment). Whosoever deviates therein from the Right Way and acts with iniquity, We shall cause him to taste a painful chastisement.

A.Maududi 22:25

26

Call to mind when We assigned to Abraham the site of the House (Kabah), directing him: "Do not associate aught with Me" and "Keep My House pure for those who walk around it, and for those who stand and who bow down and who prostrate themselves (in worship),

A.Maududi 22:26

27

and publicly proclaim Pilgrimage for all mankind so that they come to you on foot and mounted on lean camels from every distant point

A.Maududi 22:27

28

to witness the benefits in store for them, and pronounce the name of Allah during the appointed days over the cattle that He has provided them. So eat of it and feed the distressed and the needy.

A.Maududi 22:28

29

Thereafter, let them tidy up and fulfil their vows and circumambulate the Ancient House."

A.Maududi 22:29

30

Such (was the purpose of building the Kabah). Whosoever, then, venerates Allah's sanctities will find it to be good for him in the sight of his Lord. Cattle have been made lawful for you except those mentioned to you (as unlawful). So shun the abomination of idols and shun all words of falsehood.

A.Maududi 22:30
