Part 26
Al-Ahqaf
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hâ¬Mîm [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân, and
none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings]. (1) The revelation of the
Book (this Qur'ân) is from Allâh, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (2) We created not the
heavens and the earth and all that is between them except with truth, and for
an appointed term. But those who disbelieve turn away from that whereof they
are warned. (3) Say (O Muhammad SAW to these pagans): "Think you about all
that you invoke besides Allâh? Show me. What have they created of the earth? Or
have they a share in (the creation of) the heavens? Bring me a Book (revealed
before this), or some trace of knowledge (in support of your claims), if you
are truthful!" (4) And who is more astray than one who calls on (invokes)
besides Allâh, such as will not answer him till the Day of Resurrection, and who
are (even) unaware of their calls (invocations) to them?[] (5)
And when mankind are gathered (on the Day of Resurrection), they
(false deities) will become their enemies and will deny their worshipping. (6) And when Our Clear
Verses are recited to them, the disbelievers say of the truth (this Qur'ân),
when it reaches them: "This is plain magic!" (7) Or say they: "He
(Muhammad SAW) has fabricated it." Say: "If I have fabricated it?
still you have no power to support me against Allâh. He knows best of what you
say among yourselves concerning it (i.e. this Qur'ân)! Sufficient is He as a
witness between me and you! And He is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most
Merciful." (8) Say (O Muhammad SAW):"I am not a new thing among the
Messengers (of Allâh) (i.e. I am not the first Messenger) nor do I know what
will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which is revealed to me,
and I am but a plain warner." (9) Say: "Tell me! If this (Qur’ân) is from
Allâh and you deny it, and a witness from among the Children of
And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents.
His mother bears him with hardship And she brings him forth with hardship, and
the bearing of him, and the weaning of him is thirty months, till when he
attains full strength and reaches forty years, he says: "My Lord! Grant me
the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favour which You have
bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds,
such as please You, and make my off-spring good. Truly, I have turned to You in
repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims (submitting to Your Will)."
(15) They are those from
whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and overlook their evil deeds.
(They shall be) among the dwellers of
And remember (Hûd) the brother of 'Ad, when he warned his people
in Al-Ahqâf (the curved sand-hills in the southern part of
And (remember) when We sent towards you (Muhammad SAW) a group
(three to ten persons) of the jinn, (quietly) listening to the Qur'ân, when
they stood in the presence thereof, they said: "Listen in silence!"
And when it was finished, they returned to their people, as warners. (29) They said: "O
our people! Verily! We have heard a Book (this Qur'ân) sent down after Mûsa
(Moses), confirming what came before it, it guides to the truth and to a
Straight Path (i.e. Islâm). (30) O our people! Respond (with obedience) to
Allâh's Caller (i.e. Allâh's Messenger Muhammad SAW), and believe in him (i.e.
believe in that which Muhammad SAW has brought from Allâh and follow him). He
(Allâh) will forgive you of your sins, and will save you from a painful torment
(i.e. Hell-fire)[]. (31) And whosoever does not respond to Allâh's Caller, he
cannot escape on earth, and there will be no Auliyâ' (lord, helpers,
supporters, protectors) for him besides Allâh (from Allâh's Punishment). Those
are in manifest error. (32) Do they not see that Allâh, Who created the heavens and
the earth, and was not wearied by their creation, is Able to give life to the
dead? Yes, He surely is Able to do all things. (33) And on the Day when
those who disbelieve will be exposed to the Fire (it will be said to them):
"Is this not the truth?" They will say: "Yes, By our Lord!"
He will say: "Then taste the torment, because you used to
disbelieve!" (34) Therefore be patient (O Muhammad SAW) as did the
Messengers of strong will[] and be in no haste about them (disbelievers). On
the Day when they will see that (torment) with which they are promised (i.e.
threatened, it will be) as if they had not stayed more than an hour in a single
day. (O mankind, this Qur'ân is sufficient as) a clear Message (or proclamation
to save yourself from destruction). But shall any be destroyed except the
people who are Al-Fâsiqûn (the rebellious against Allâh’s Command, the
disobedient to Allâh)? (35)
Muhammad
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Those who disbelieve [in the Oneness of Allâh, and in the Message
of Prophet Muhammad SAW ], and hinder (men) from the Path of Allâh (Islâmic
Monotheism), He will render their deeds vain[] . (1) But those who believe
and do righteous good deeds, and believe in that which is sent down to Muhammad
(SAW) — for it is the truth from their Lord, He will expiate from them their
sins, and will make good their state. (2) That is because those who disbelieve
follow falsehood, while those who believe follow the truth from their Lord.
Thus does Allâh set forth for mankind their parables. (3) So, when you meet (in
fight — Jihâd in Allâh's Cause), those who disbelieve smite (their) necks till
when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on
them, i.e. take them as captives). Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity
(i.e. free them without ransom), or ransom (according to what benefits Islâm),
until the war lays down its burden. Thus [you are ordered by Allâh to continue
in carrying out Jihâd against the disbelievers till they embrace Islâm and are
saved from the punishment in the Hell-fire or at least come under your
protection], but if it had been Allâh's Will, He Himself could certainly have
punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test some of
you with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allâh, He will never
let their deeds be lost.[] (4) He will guide them and set right their state.
(5) And admit them to
Paradise which He has made known to them (i.e. they will know their places in
Certainly! Allâh will admit those who believe (in the Oneness of
Allâh Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, to Gardens under which
rivers flow (Paradise), while those who disbelieve enjoy themselves and eat as
cattle eat, and the Fire will be their abode. (12) And many a town,
stronger than your town (Makkah) (O Muhammad SAW) which has driven you out We
have destroyed. And there was none to help them. (13) Is he who is on a
clear proof from his Lord, like those for whom their evil deeds that they do
are beautified for them, while they follow their own lusts (evil desires)? (14) The description of
Paradise which the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2) have been promised
(is that) in it are rivers of water the taste and smell of which are not changed,
rivers of milk of which the taste never changes, rivers of wine delicious to
those who drink; and rivers of clarified honey (clear and pure) therein for
them is every kind of fruit; and forgiveness from their Lord. (Are these) like
those who shall dwell for ever in the Fire, and be given, to drink, boiling
water, so that it cuts up their bowels? (15) And among them are some who listen to
you (O Muhammad SAW) till, when they go out from you, they say to those who
have received knowledge: "What has he said just now? Such are men whose
hearts Allâh has sealed, and they follow their lusts (evil desires). (16) While as for those
who accept guidance, He increases their guidance, and bestows on them their
piety. (17) Do they then await (anything) other than the Hour, that it
should come upon them suddenly? But some of its portents (indications and
signs) have already come, and when it (actually) is on them, how can they
benefit then by their reminder?[] (18) So know (O Muhammad SAW) that Lâ ilâha
ill-allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh)[], and ask
forgiveness for your sin, and also for (the sin of) believing men and believing
women. And Allâh knows well your moving about, and your place of rest (in your
homes). (19)
Those who believe say: "Why
is not a Sûrah (chapter of the Qur'ân) sent down (for us)? But when a decisive
Sûrah (explaining and ordering things) is sent down, and fighting (Jihâd — holy
fighting in Allâh's Cause) is mentioned (i.e. ordained) therein, you will see
those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) looking at you with a look of
one fainting to death. But it was better for them (hypocrites, to listen to
Allâh and to obey Him). (20) Obedience (to Allâh) and good words (were
better for them). And when the matter (preparation for Jihâd) is resolved on,
then if they had been true to Allâh, it would have been better for them. (21) Would you then, if
you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of
kinship?[] (22) Such are they whom Allâh has cursed, so that He has made them
deaf and blinded their sight. (23) Do they not then think deeply in the Qur'ân,
or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it)? (24) Verily, those who
have turned back (have apostatise) as disbelievers after the guidance has been
manifested to them — Shaitân (Satan) has beautified for them (their false
hopes), and (Allâh) prolonged their term (age). (25) This is because they
said to those who hate what Allâh has sent down: "We will obey you in part
of the matter," but Allâh knows their secrets. (26) Then how (will it be)
when the angels will take their souls at death, smiting their faces and their
backs? (27) That is because they followed that which angered Allâh, and
hated that which pleased Him. So He made their deeds fruitless. (28) Or do those in whose
hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy), think that Allâh will not bring to light
all their hidden ill-wills? (29)
Had We willed, We could
have shown them to you, and you should have known them by their marks; but
surely, you will know them by the tone of their speech! And Allâh knows (all)
your deeds. (30) And surely, We shall try you till We test those who strive hard
(for the Cause of Allâh) and As-Sabirun (the patient ones), and We shall test
your facts (i.e. the one who is a liar, and the one who is truthful). (31) Verily, those who
disbelieve, and hinder (men) from the Path of Allâh (i.e. Islâm), and oppose
the Messenger ( SAW) (by standing against him and hurting him), after the
guidance[] has been clearly shown to them, they will not hurt Allâh in the
least, but He will make their deeds fruitless, (32) O you who believe!
Obey Allâh, and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) and render not vain your
deeds. (33) Verily, those who disbelieve, and hinder (men) from the Path of
Allâh (i.e. Islâm); then die while they are disbelievers, - Allâh will not
forgive them.[] (34) So be not weak and ask not for peace (from the enemies of
Islâm), while you are having the upper hand. Allâh is with you, and He will
never decrease the reward of your good deeds. (35) The life of this
world is but play and pastime, but if you believe (in the Oneness of Allâh —
Islâmic Monotheism), and fear Allâh, and avoid evil, He will grant you your
wages, and will not ask you your wealth. (36) If He were to ask you of it, and press
you, you would covetously withhold, and He will bring out all your (secret)
ill-wills. (37) Behold! You are those who are called to spend in the Cause of
Allâh, yet among you are some who are niggardly. And whoever is niggardly, it
is only at the expense of his ownself. But Allâh is Rich (Free of all needs),
and you (mankind) are poor. And if you turn away (from Islâm and the obedience
to Allâh), He will exchange you for some other people, and they will not be
your likes. (38)
Al-Fath
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Verily, We have given you (O Muhammad SAW) a manifest victory. (1) That Allâh may
forgive you your sins of the past and the future[], and complete His Favour on
you, and guide you on the Straight Path; (2) And that Allâh may help you with
strong help. (3) He it is Who sent down As-Sakinah (calmness and tranquillity)
into the hearts of the believers, that they may grow more in Faith along with their
(present) Faith. And to Allâh belong the hosts of the heavens and the earth,
and Allâh is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise. (4) That He may admit the believing men
and the believing women to Gardens under which rivers flow (i.e. Paradise), to
abide therein forever, and He may expiate from them their sins, and that is
with Allâh, a supreme success, (5) And that He may punish the Munâfiqûn
(hypocrites), men and women, and also the Mushrikûn[] men and women, who think
evil thoughts about Allâh, for them is a disgraceful torment, And the Anger of
Allâh is upon them, and He has cursed them and prepared Hell for them — and
worst indeed is that destination. (6) And to Allâh belong the hosts of the heavens
and the earth. And Allâh is Ever All-powerful, All-Wise. (7) Verily, We have sent
you (O Muhammad SAW) as a witness, as a bearer of glad tidings, and as a
warner[] (8) In order that you (O mankind) may believe in Allâh and His
Messenger (SAW), and that you assist and honour him (SAW), and (that you)
glorify (Allâh's) praises morning and afternoon. (9)
Verily, those who give Bai'âh (pledge) to you (O Muhammad SAW)
they are giving Bai'âh (pledge) to Allâh. The Hand of Allâh is over their
hands. Then whosoever breaks his pledge, breaks it only to his own harm, and
whosoever fulfils what he has covenanted with Allâh, He will bestow on him a
great reward. (10) Those of the bedouins who lagged behind will say to you:
"Our possessions and our families occupied us, so ask forgiveness for
us." They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say:
"Who then has any power at all (to intervene) on your behalf with Allâh,
if He intends you hurt or intends you benefit? Nay, but Allâh is Ever All-Aware
of what you do. (11) "Nay, but you thought that the Messenger (SAW) and the
believers would never return to their families; and that was made fair-seeming
in your hearts, and you did think an evil thought and you became a useless
people going for destruction." (12) And whosoever does not believe in Allâh and
His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), then verily, We have prepared for the
disbelievers a blazing Fire[]. (13) And to Allâh belongs the sovereignty of the
heavens and the earth, He forgives whom He wills, and punishes whom He wills.
And Allâh is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (14) Those who lagged
behind will say, when you set forth to take the spoils, "Allow us to
follow you," They want to change Allâh's Words. Say: "You shall not
follow us; thus Allâh has said beforehand." Then they will say: "Nay,
you envy us." Nay, but they understand not except a little. (15)
Say (O Muhammad SAW) to the bedouins who lagged behind: "You
shall be called to fight against a people given to great warfare, then you
shall fight them, or they shall surrender. Then if you obey, Allâh will give
you a fair reward, but if you turn away as you did turn away before, He will
punish you with a painful torment." (16) No blame or sin is there upon the
blind, nor is there blame or sin upon the lame, nor is there blame or sin upon
the sick (that they go not for fighting). And whosoever obeys Allâh and His
Messenger (Muhammad SAW), He will admit him to Gardens beneath which rivers
flow (
And He it is Who has withheld their hands from you and your hands
from them in the midst of Makkah, after He had made you victors over them. And
Allâh is Ever the All-Seer of what you do. (24) They are the ones who
disbelieved (in the Oneness of Allâh — Islâmic Monotheism), and hindered you
from Al¬Masjid¬al¬Harâm (at Makkah) and detained the sacrificial animals, from
reaching their place of sacrifice. Had there not been believing men and
believing women whom you did not know, that you may kill them, and on whose
account a sin would have been committed by you without (your) knowledge, that
Allâh might bring into His Mercy whom He wills, if they (the believers and the
disbelievers) had been apart, We verily would have punished those of them who
disbelieved, with painful torment. (25) When those who disbelieve had put in their
hearts pride and haughtiness — the pride and haughtiness of the time of
ignorance — then Allâh sent down His Sakinah (calmness and tranquillity) upon
His Messenger ( SAW) and upon the believers, and made them stick to the word of
piety (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), and they were well
entitled to it and worthy of it. And Allâh is the All-Knower of everything (26) Indeed Allâh shall
fulfil the true vision which He showed to His Messenger (SAW) [i.e. the Prophet
SAW saw a dream that he has entered Makkah along with his companions, having
their (head) hair shaved and cut short] in very truth. Certainly, you shall
enter Al¬Masjid¬al¬Harâm; if Allâh wills, secure, (some) having your heads
shaved, and (some) having your head hair cut short, having no fear. He knew
what you knew not, and He granted besides that a near victory. (27) He it is Who has sent
His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islâm),
that He may make it (Islâm) superior over all religions. And All-Sufficient is
Allâh as a Witness. (28)
Muhammad (SAW) is the
Messenger of Allâh, And those who are with him are severe against disbelievers,
and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate
(in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allâh and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of
them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (foreheads) from the traces of
prostration (during prayers). This is their description in the Taurât (Torah).
But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which sends
forth its shoot, then makes it strong, and becomes thick, and it stands
straight on its stem, delighting the sowers that He may enrage the disbelievers
with them. Allâh has promised those among them who believe (i.e. all those who
follow Islâmic Monotheism, the religion of Prophet Muhammad SAW till the Day of
Resurrection) and do righteous good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward
(i.e.
Al-Hujraat
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
O you who believe! Make not (a decision) in advance before Allâh
and His Messenger (SAW), and fear Allâh. Verily! Allâh is All-Hearing,
All-Knowing. (1) O you who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice of the
Prophet (SAW), nor speak aloud to him in talk as you speak aloud to one
another, lest your deeds may be rendered fruitless while you perceive not. (2) Verily, those who
lower their voices in the presence of Allâh's Messenger (SAW), they are the
ones whose hearts Allâh has tested for piety. For them is forgiveness and a
great reward. (3) Verily, those who call you from behind the dwellings, most of
them have no sense. (4)
And if they had patience till you could come out to them, it would
have been better for them. And Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (5) O you who believe! If
a Fasiq (liar — evil person) comes to you with any news, verify it, lest you
should harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful for what
you have done. (6) And know that, among you there is the Messenger of Allâh (SAW).
If he were to obey you (i.e. follow your opinions and desires) in much of the
matter, you would surely be in trouble, But Allâh has endeared the Faith to you
and has beautified it in your hearts, and has made disbelief, wickedness and
disobedience (to Allâh and His Messenger SAW) hateful to you. Such are they who
are the rightly guided, (7) (This is) a Grace from Allâh and His Favour.
And Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (8) And if two parties or groups among the
believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them both, But if one of
them outrages against the other, then fight you (all) against the one that
which outrages till it complies with the Command of Allâh; then if it complies,
then make reconciliation between them justly, and be equitable. Verily! Allâh
loves those who are equitable. (9) The believers are nothing else than brothers
(in Islâmic religion). So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear
Allâh, that you may receive mercy. (10) O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at
another group, it may be that the latter are better than the former; Nor let
(some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than
the former, Nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How
bad is it, to insult one's brother after having Faith [i.e. to call your Muslim
brother (a faithful believer) as: "O sinner", or "O
wicked"]. And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed Zâlimûn
(wrong-doers). (11)
O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, indeed some suspicions
are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to
eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting)[] .
And fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance,
Most Merciful. (12) O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and
made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the
most honourable of you with Allâh is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [i.e. he
is one of the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2). Verily, Allâh is All-Knowing,
All-Aware. (13) The bedouins say: "We believe." Say: "You believe
not but you only say, 'We have surrendered (in Islâm),' for Faith has not yet entered
your hearts. But if you obey Allâh and His Messenger (SAW), He will not
decrease anything in reward for your deeds. Verily, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful." (14) Only those are the believers who have believed in Allâh
and His Messenger, and afterward doubt not but strive with their wealth and
their lives for the Cause of Allâh. Those! They are the truthful. (15) Say: "Will you
inform Allâh of your religion While Allâh knows all that is in the heavens and
all that is in the earth, and Allâh is All-Aware of everything. (16) They regard as favour
to you (O Muhammad SAW) that they have embraced Islâm. Say: "Count not
your Islâm as a favour to me. Nay, but Allâh has conferred a favour upon you,
that He has guided you to the Faith, if you indeed are true. (17) Verily, Allâh knows
the unseen of the heavens and the earth. And Allâh is the All-Seer of what you
do. (18)
Qaf
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Qâf. [These letters (Qâf, etc.) are one of the miracles of the Qur'ân,
and none but Allâh (Alone) knows their meanings]. By the Glorious Qur'ân. (1) Nay, they wonder that
there has come to them a warner (Muhammad SAW) from among themselves. So the
disbelievers say: "This is a strange thing! (2) "When we are
dead and have become dust (shall we be resurrected?) That is a far
return." (3) We know that which the earth takes of them (their dead bodies),
and with Us is a Book preserved (i.e. the Book of Decrees). (4) Nay, but they have
denied the truth (this Qur'ân) when it has come to them, so they are in a
confused state (can not differentiate between right and wrong). (5) Have they not looked
at the heaven above them, how We have made it and adorned it, and there are no
rifts in it? (6) And the earth! We have spread it out, and set thereon mountains
standing firm, and have produced therein every kind of lovely growth (plants).
(7) An insight and a
Reminder for every slave who turns to Allâh in repentance (i.e. the one who
believes in the Oneness of Allâh and performs deeds of His obedience, and
always begs His pardon). (8) And We send down blessed water (rain) from
the sky, then We produce therewith gardens and grain (every kind of harvests)
that are reaped. (9) And tall date-palms, with ranged clusters; (10) A provision for
(Allâh's) slaves. And We give life therewith to a dead land. Thus will be the
resurrection (of the dead). (11) Denied before them (i.e. these pagans of
Makkah) the people of Nûh (Noah), and the dwellers of Rass, and the Thamûd, (12) And 'Ad, and Fir'aun
(Pharaoh), and the brethren of Lut (Lot), (13) And the Dwellers of
the Wood, and the people of Tubba'; Everyone of them denied (their) Messengers,
so My Threat took effect. (14) Were We then tired with the first creation?
Nay, they are in confused doubt about a new creation (i.e. Resurrection)? (15)
And indeed We have created man, and We know what his ownself
whispers to him. And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein (by Our
Knowledge). (16) (Remember!) that the two receivers (recording angels) receive
(each human being), one sitting on the right and one on the left (to note his
or her actions)[] (17) Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcher
by him ready (to record it).[] (18) And the stupor of death will come in truth:
"This is what you have been avoiding!" (19) And the Trumpet will
be blown — that will be the Day whereof warning (had been given) (i.e. the Day
of Resurrection). (20) And every person will come forth along with an (angel) to
drive (him), and an (angel) to bear witness. (21) (It will be said to
the sinners): "Indeed you were heedless of this, now We have removed your
covering, and sharp is your sight this Day!" (22) And his companion
(angel) will say: "Here is (this Record) ready with me!" (23) (Allah will say to
the angels): "Both of you throw into Hell, every stubborn disbeliever (in
the Oneness of Allâh, in His Messengers) — (24) "Hinderer of
good, transgressor, doubter, (25) "Who set up another ilâh (god) with
Allâh, Then both of you cast him in the severe torment." (26) His companion (Satan
— devil)] will say: "Our Lord! I did not push him to transgression, (in
disbelief, oppression, and evil deeds) but he was himself in error far
astray." (27) Allâh will say: "Dispute not in front of Me, I had already,
in advance, sent you the threat. (28) The Sentence that comes from Me cannot be
changed, and I am not unjust to the slaves." (29) On the Day when We
will say to Hell: "Are you filled?" It will say: "Are there any
more (to come)?"[] (30) And
And how many a generation We have destroyed before them, who were
stronger in power than they, and (when Our Torment came) they ran for a refuge
in the land! Could they find any place of refuge (for them to save themselves
from destruction)? (36) Verily, therein is indeed a reminder for him who has a
heart or gives ear while he is heedful. (37) And indeed We created the heavens and
the earth and all between them in six Days and nothing of fatigue touched Us. (38) So bear with patience
(O Muhammad SAW) all that they say, and glorify the Praises of your Lord,
before the rising of the sun and before (its) setting (i.e. the Fajr, Zuhr, and
'Asr prayers)[]. (39) And during a part of the night (also), glorify His praises (i.e.
Maghrib and 'Isha prayers), and (so likewise) after the prayers [As-Sunnah,
Nawâfil — optional and additional prayers, And also glorify, praise and magnify
Allâh - Subhân Allâh, Alhamdu lillâh, Allâhu-Akbar]. (40) And listen on the Day
when the caller will call from a near place, (41) The Day when they
will hear As-Saihah (shout) in truth, that will be the Day of coming out (from
the graves i.e. the Day of Resurrection). (42) Verily, We it is Who
give life and cause death; and to Us is the final return, (43) On the Day when the
earth shall be cleft, from off them, (they will come out) hastening forth. That
will be a gathering, quite easy for Us. (44) We know of best what they say; and you
(O Muhammad SAW) are not the one to force them (to Belief). But warn by the
Qur'ân, him who fears My Threat. (45)
Adh-Dhariyat
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By (the winds) that scatter dust. (1) And (the clouds) that
bear heavy weight of water; (2) And (the ships) that float with ease and
gentleness; (3) And those (angels) who distribute (provisions, rain, and other
blessings) by (Allâh's) Command;¬ (4) Verily, that which you are promised (i.e.
Resurrection in the Hereafter and receiving the reward or punishment of good or
bad deeds) is surely true. (5) And verily, the Recompense is sure to happen.
(6)
By the heaven full of paths, (7) Certainly, you have
