O YOU PEOPLE, fear your Lord. The great upheaval of the Hour will indeed be terrible.
2
The day you see it every suckling female will forget her suckling, and every pregnant female will discharge her burden. You will see men drunk, yet it will not be intoxication. The torment of God will be severe.
3
And yet there are men who contend about God without understanding, and follow every wayward devil
4
Who, it is inscribed, will beguile whoever follows him, and lead him to the torment of Hell.
5
If you have any doubt, O men, about being raised to life again, (remember) that We created you from dust, then a drop of semen, then an embryo, then a chewed up lump of flesh shaped and shapeless, that We may reveal (the various steps) to you. We keep what We please in the womb for a certain time, then you come out as a child, then reach the prime of age. Some of you die, some reach the age of dotage when they forget what they knew, having known it once. You see the earth all withered, then We send down rain upon it, and it bestirs itself, swells, and brings forth every kind of beauteous verdure.
6
That is so for God is the undeniable Reality. It is He who brings the dead to life, for He has power over everything.
7
The Hour will come without a doubt, and God will raise those who are dead.
8
Yet there are some who contend about God without any knowledge or guidance or enlightening Book,
9
Turning their backs that they may lead away from the path of God. For such there is disgrace in the world, and on the Day of Judgement We shall make them taste the torment of burning.
10
That is on account of what you had done in the past; yet God is not unjust to His creatures.
11
There are some men who worship God only from the margin. If there is some profit they are content; but if calamity befalls them they turn about, thus losing both this world and the next. This is indeed a palpable loss.
12
Leaving God they pray to those who cannot harm or profit them. That is the limit of going astray.
13
They pray to him whose bane is more imminent than his boon: How bad the protector and how bad the associate!
14
God will admit those who believe and do the right to gardens full of rippling streams. Verily God does as He pleases.
15
He who thinks that God will not help him in this world and the next should stretch a rope to the sky then cut it off and see if his mind is relieved (of doubts) by this stratagem.
16
That is why We have sent down these clear revelations, for God gives guidance whomsoever He please.
17
God will judge between those who believe and the Jews, the Sabians, Christians and the Magians and the idolaters, on the Day of Judgement. Verily God is witness to everything.
18
Do you see how all things in heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, trees and beasts, and men in abundance, pay homage to God? Yet there are many who deserve the punishment. And whosoever God disgraces will have none to raise him up in honour. God does verily as He will.
19
These two (believers and unbelievers) are disputants, who contend about their Lord. But they who disbelieve will be fitted out with garments of flames. Boiling water will be poured down over their heads
20
Which will dissolve everything within their bellies, and their skins.
21
There are iron maces for them.
22
As often as they try to escape from its anguish they would be put back into (the fire), and taste the torment of burning.
23
God will surely admit those who believe and do the right to gardens with rivers running by, where they will be decked in bracelets of gold and of pearls; and of silk will be their garments.
24
They will be guided with gentle words, and guided to the commended path.
25
As for those who disbelieve, and obstruct the way of God and the holy Mosque which We have set down for all men, the native and the visitor alike. Whoever puts obstructions in this mischievously will taste of painful punishment.
26
When We chose the site of the House for Abraham (We said:) "Associate no one with Me, and clean My House for those who will circumambulate it, stand (in reverence), and bow in homage.
27
Announce the Pilgrimage to the people. They will come to you on foot and riding along distant roads on lean and slender beasts,
28
In order to reach the place of advantage for them, and to pronounce the name of God on appointed days over cattle He has given them for food; then eat of the meat and feed the needy and the poor.
29
Let them then attend to their persons and complete the rites of pilgrimage, fulfil their vows and circuit round the ancient House.
30
Apart from this, whoever respects the sacred ordinances of God, will find a better reward for him with his Lord. You are allowed to eat all cattle except those already mentioned to you. Avoid the repugnance of idols, and false and frivolous talk.
