By the swift scatterers
5
surely that you are promised is true,
6
and surely the Doom is about to fall!
7
By heaven with all its tracks
8
surely you speak at variance,
9
and perverted therefrom are some.
10
Perish the conjecturers
11
who are dazed in perplexity
12
asking, 'When shall be the Day of Doom?'
13
Upon the day when they shall be tried at the Fire:
14
'Taste your trial! This is that you were seeking to hasten.'
15
Surely the godfearing shall be among gardens and fountains
16
taking whatsoever their Lord has given them; they were good-doers before that.
17
Little of the night would they slumber,
18
and in the mornings they would ask for forgiveness;
19
and the beggar and the outcast had a share in their wealth.
20
In the earth are signs for those having sure faith;
21
and in your selves; what, do you not see?
22
And in heaven is your provision, and that you are promised.
23
So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as surely true as that you have speech.
24
Hast thou received the story of the honoured guests of Abraham?
25
When they entered unto him, saying 'Peace!' he said 'Peace! You are a people unknown to me.'
26
Then he turned to his household and brought a fattened calf,
27
and he laid it before them saying, 'Will you not eat?'
28
Then he conceived a fear of them. They said, 'Be not afraid!' And they gave him good tidings of a cunning boy.
29
Then came forward his wife, clamouring, and she smote her face, and said, 'An old woman, barren!'
30
They said, 'So says thy Lord; He is the All-wise, the All-knowing.'
