1
Yet it is purely an admonition to mankind.
3
What is the Inevitable Hour?
4
And what will make you realize what the Inevitable Hour is?
5
The tribes of Thamud and 'Ad denied that disaster would strike them:
6
the Thamud were destroyed by a terrible storm of thunder and lightning;
7
and the 'Ad were destroyed by a furious wind
8
which God let loose against them for seven nights and eight days unremittingly, so that you could have seen its people lying prostrate as though they were the hollow trunks of palm-trees which had fallen down.
9
Do you see any vestige left of them now?
10
Pharoah and those before him and the inhabitants of the overthrown cities persistently committed grave sins.
11
They defied their Lord's messenger, so He seized them with an ever-tightening grip.
12
But We bore you away in the Ark, when the waters rose high,
13
so that We might make it a reminder for you and so that attentive ears might retain it.
14
When a single blast is blown on the trumpet,
15
and the earth and the mountains are lifted up and then crushed with a single blow,
16
on that Day the Great Event will come to pass.
17
And the sky will be rent asunder, for on that Day it will be so frail.
18
The angels will appear by its sides and, on that Day, eight (angels) will bear your Lord's throne above them.
19
On that Day you will be brought to judgement and none of your secrets will remain hidden.
20
Then he who is given his record in his right hand will exclaim, 'Here is my record, read it.
21
Surely, I knew that I should meet my reckoning,'
22
so he will live in a state of Bliss
24
with clusters of fruit within easy reach.
25
We shall say to him, 'Eat and drink joyfully as a reward for the good deeds you did in days gone by.'
26
But he who is given his record in his left hand will say, 'If only I had never been given my Record
27
and knew nothing of my reckoning.
28
How I wish my death had ended all.
29
My wealth has been of no use to me.
30
I am bereft of power.'
