(I) O mankind, heed your Lord! The quaking at the Hour will be a serious matter.

T.B.Irving 22:1

2

On the day when you see it, every nursing mother will neglect whatever she is nursing and every pregnant female will miscarry. You will see men drunk while they have not been drinking. However God's torment is severe!

T.B.Irving 22:2

3

Some men argue about God without having any knowledge, and they follow every wilful Satan.

T.B.Irving 22:3

4

It has been written down concerning anyone he befriends that he shall mislead him and guide him to the torment of the Blaze.

T.B.Irving 22:4

5

O men, if you have ever been in doubt about rising again, well We (first) created you from dust; then from a drop of semen; then from a clot; then from a lump of tissue either shaped or else shapeless, so We might explain (things) to you.. We cause anything We wish to rest in wombs for a stated period; then We bring you forth as infants; eventually you reach full growth. Some of you will pass away (early in life), while others of you will be sent back to the feeblest age of all, so that he will not know a thing after once having had knowledge. You see the barren earth when We send water down upon it, stirring, sprouting and producing every sort of lovely species.

T.B.Irving 22:5

6

That (comes about) because God is the Truth: He revives the dead and is Capable of everything!

T.B.Irving 22:6

7

The Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it. God will raise up whoever are in (their) graves.

T.B.Irving 22:7

8

Yet some men argue about God without having any knowledge or guidance, nor any enlightening Book,

T.B.Irving 22:8

9

twisting things around in order to lead (others) astray from God's way. Such a man will have disgrace in this world while We shall let him taste the torment of burning on Resurrection Day.

T.B.Irving 22:9

10

That is because of what your hands have sent on ahead. Yet God is no One to harm (His) worshippers.

T.B.Irving 22:10

11

(II) Some men serve God along the fringes: if some good should happen to him, he accepts it calmly, while if some trial should strike him, he turns over on his face (in despair). He loses both this world and the Hereafter. That is such an obvious loss!

T.B.Irving 22:11

12

He appeals to something that neither harms him nor yet benefits him, instead of to God. That is extreme error;

T.B.Irving 22:12

13

he appeals to someone whose harm is closer than his benefit. How wretched is such a patron; how wretched is such a colleague!

T.B.Irving 22:13

14

God will show those who believe and perform honorable deeds into gardens through which rivers flow; God does anything He wants.

T.B.Irving 22:14

15

Let anyone who has been thinking that God will never support him in this world as well as in the Hereafter, (try to) stretch a tent-rope up to the sky; then cut it off. Let him see whether his scheme will take away whatever is irritating him.

T.B.Irving 22:15

16

Thus We have sent it down as clear signs. God guides anyone He wants to.

T.B.Irving 22:16

17

God will sort out those who believe, as well as those who have become Jews, Sabeans, Christians, Magians, from those who associate (others with Him), on Resurrection Day. God is a Witness for everything.

T.B.Irving 22:17

18

Have you not seen how whoever is in Heaven and whoever is on earth drops down on his knees before God, as well as the sun, moon and stars, the mountains, trees and animals, and many people, even some (of those) deserving torment? Anyone whom God weakens will have no one to honor him. God does anything He wishes.

T.B.Irving 22:18

19

Both (sets of) these opponents debate about their Lord. Those who disbelieve will have garments tailored out of fire for them; over their heads scalding water will be poured.

T.B.Irving 22:19

20

Anything in their stomachs as well as their skins will be melted by it.

T.B.Irving 22:20

21

They will have iron goads:

T.B.Irving 22:21

22

every time they may want to leave because of (their) gloom, they will be sent back to it: "Taste the torment of burning!"

T.B.Irving 22:22

23

(III) God will show those who believe and perform honorable deeds into gardens through which rivers flow; there they will be decked out with gold and pearl bracelets while their clothing will be (made of) silk.

T.B.Irving 22:23

24

They have been guided to a wholesome way of talking as well as guided along the Praiseworthy's road.

T.B.Irving 22:24

25

Those who disbelieve and obstruct God's way and (block) the Hallowed Mosque which We have granted to mankind on the same footing- whether the one devoted to it(s care) or the nomad-yet We shall let anyone who wants to misuse it wrongfully, taste some painful torment.

T.B.Irving 22:25

26

(IV) Thus We settled Abraham at the site of the House (saying): "Do not associate anything with Me, "and purify My house for those who walk around it, and those who stand there (praying), and those who bow down on their knees in worship.

T.B.Irving 22:26

27

Proclaim the Pilgrimage among mankind: they will come to you on foot and on every lean (beast of burden); let them come from every deep ravine,

T.B.Irving 22:27

28

to bear witness to the advantages they have, and to mention God's name on appointed days over such heads of livestock as He has provided them with. "So eat some of it and feed the needy pauper.

T.B.Irving 22:28

29

Then let them attend to their grooming, fulfil their vows, and circle round the Ancient House."

T.B.Irving 22:29

30

That is (how it should be), and it will be best with one's Lord for anyone who emphasizes God's restrictions. You are permitted livestock except for those which have been listed for you. Avoid the filth of idols and refrain from deceptive speech,

T.B.Irving 22:30
