<s>[INST]Chapter 66 verse 6[/INST]O Believers! Safeguard yourselves and your families against a Fire whose fuel is men and stones. Strong and stern angels have been appointed over it who do not disobey Allah whatever command He gives them to execute. And they accomplish only that assignment which they are commanded to do.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 66 verse 7[/INST]O disbelievers! Do not make any excuse today. You will only be paid the reward of what you have been doing.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 66 verse 8[/INST]O Believers! Turn towards Allah’s Presence in perfect and most sincere repentance. Your Lord will certainly remove your sins from you and admit you to the Gardens with streams flowing under them. On the Day when Allah will not slight (His) Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) and those believers who are in his companionship (visibly or invisibly), their light will be moving fast (brightening) ahead of them and on their right hand. They will be submitting: ‘O our Lord, perfect our light for us and forgive us. Surely You have Absolute Power over everything.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 66 verse 9[/INST]O (Esteemed) Prophet! Struggle hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and treat them strictly. And their abode is Hell. And what an evil abode that is!</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 66 verse 10[/INST]Allah has described for disbelievers the example of Nuh’s (Noah’s) wife (Wahila) and Lut’s (Lot’s) wife (Wa’ila). They were married to two most pious of Our servants. But both of them betrayed them. So they could not help them before (the torment of) Allah and it was said to them: ‘Both of you (women) enter Hell along with all who enter it.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 66 verse 11[/INST]And Allah has given for the believers the example of Pharaoh’s wife (Asiya daughter of Mazahim) when she submitted: ‘O my Lord, build a house for me in Paradise in Your Presence and deliver me from Pharaoh and his (evil) conduct and also rescue me from the wrongdoing people.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 66 verse 12[/INST]And (the second example is given of) Maryam (Mary), the daughter of ‘Imran, who guarded well her chastity and purity. And We breathed Our Spirit into the sternal opening of (her) shirt. And she confirmed the Commandments of her Lord and the (revealed) Books and she was of the obedient.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67[/INST]The Sovereignty</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 1[/INST]Blessed is He in Whose (Mighty) Hand is the Kingdom (of all the worlds). And He enjoys Perfect Command over everything;</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 2[/INST]He Who has created death and life (so that) He may test you as to which of you is best in conduct. And He is Almighty, Most Forgiving;</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 3[/INST]He Who has created seven (or numerous) heavenly spheres corresponding to one another (layer upon layer). You will not find any irregularity and disproportion in the system of the creation of the Most Kind (Lord). So have a (meditative and thoughtful) look around: do you find in this (Creation) any incongruity or disharmony (i.e. degeneration or falling apart)?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 4[/INST]Look around time and again with (an inquisitive) vision (from different angles and with scientific methods. Every time) your sight will return to you fatigued and frustrated (in finding any shortcoming or imperfection).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 5[/INST]And surely We have adorned the lowest heaven of the universe with lights (in the form of stars, planets, other asteroids and meteoroids). And We have also made (some of them) the means of pelting away (i.e. eliminating the negative effects of) satans (i.e. rebellious forces). And We have prepared for these (satans) a torment of Blazing Fire.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 6[/INST]And for those who have denied their Lord is the torment of Hell. And what an evil abode it is!</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 7[/INST]When they will be flung into it they will hear its horrifying roar. And that (Fire) will be boiling (with rage),</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 8[/INST]As if it is about to burst into pieces with intense wrath. When a group will be cast into it, its guards will ask them: ‘Did no Warner come to you?’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 9[/INST]They will say: ‘Yes indeed! A Warner did come to us but we rejected him and said: Allah has not sent down anything. You are just in great error.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 10[/INST]And they will say: ‘Had we listened to or understood (the Truth), we would not have been (put) among the inmates of Hell (today).’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 11[/INST]Then they will confess their sin. So remoteness for the inmates of Hell (from Allah’s Mercy) is (destined).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 12[/INST]Surely those who fear their Lord unseen, for them is forgiveness and great reward.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 13[/INST]And whether you speak in secret or aloud, certainly He knows best (even) the things (hidden) in the hearts.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 14[/INST]Does He, Who has created, not know? In truth He is the One Who can see the essence and is Well Aware (of everything).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 15[/INST]He is the One Who has made the earth soft and subservient to you. So walk about through its tracks and eat of the sustenance (given) by Him and towards Him alone is the return, rising (after death).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 16[/INST]Have you gone fearless of (the Lord of) the heaven that He may sink you into the earth when it suddenly shakes?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 17[/INST]Have you gone fearless of (the Lord of) the heaven that He may send against you a stone-pelting wind? Then soon will you come to know how My Warning is!</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 18[/INST]And surely those before them (also) denied. But how (awful did prove) My denial!</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 19[/INST]Have they not seen the birds above them spreading out their wings and (sometimes) folding them? Nothing can hold them (from falling down in the air) except (the law made by) the Most Kind (Lord). Surely He sees everything best.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 20[/INST]Well, is there anyone that can muster an army to help you against the Most Kind Lord? The disbelievers are merely (snared) in deception.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 21[/INST]Well, is there anyone that can provide you sustenance if (Allah) holds back His sustenance (from you)? In fact they are adamantly fixed in rebellion and hatred (for Truth)</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 22[/INST]Is he who walks in prone position more rightly guided or he who walks upright on a straight path?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 23[/INST]Say: ‘(Allah) is He Who created you and provided you with ears and eyes and hearts. Yet you give thanks but little.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 24[/INST]Say: ‘He is the One Who has spread you in the earth and you will be gathered towards Him (on the Day of Assembly).’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 25[/INST]And they say: ‘When will this promise (of the Day of Resurrection) be fulfilled if you are truthful?’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 26[/INST]Say: ‘The knowledge (of that Hour) is with Allah alone and I am just a clear Warner.’ (If the time is disclosed there will be no fear any more).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 27[/INST]Then when they will see that (Day) near, the faces of the disbelievers will be deformed and turned black and it will be said (to them): ‘This is (the promise) which you asked for (to come to pass in haste).’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 28[/INST]Say: ‘Well, give your view: if Allah causes me death (as you desire) and (also) to my companions, or shows Mercy to us (i.e. defers our death), then (in both these cases) who will shelter the disbelievers from the painful torment?’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 29[/INST]Say: ‘He alone is the Most Kind (Lord) in Whom we believe and in Whom we trust. So you will soon know who is in open error.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 67 verse 30[/INST]Say: ‘If your water sinks far deep into the earth (i.e. dries up) then who will bring you flowing water (on earth)?’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68[/INST]The Pen</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 1[/INST]Nun. (Only Allah and the Messenger [blessings and peace be upon him] know the real meaning.) By the pen and by that (subject) which (the angels) write down!</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 2[/INST](O Esteemed Beloved!) By the Grace of your Lord you are not (at all) insane.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 3[/INST]And assuredly for you there is a reward that will never end.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 4[/INST]And assuredly you are placed high on the Most Glorious and Exalted (seat of) Character (i.e. adorned with the Qur’anic morality and endowed with the character traits of Allah).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 5[/INST]Soon you will see and they (too) will see,</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 6[/INST]As to which of you is mad.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 7[/INST]Surely your Lord knows him best who has strayed from the straight path and (also) knows best those who are rightly guided.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 8[/INST]So do not agree with what the beliers say.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 9[/INST]They wish that you should become (needlessly) flexible (in the matter of Din [Religion]). Then they too would show flexibility.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 10[/INST]And do not agree with any vile, most mean swearer of oaths,</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 11[/INST](The one who is) a slanderer, fault-finder, mischief-monger (and) backbiting the people to rouse strife,</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 12[/INST](The one who) hinders pious works very much and is a miser, rebellious transgressor (and) toughened sinner,</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 13[/INST](The one who is) rude, unmannerly, crooked and moreover of doubtful birth.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 14[/INST]So (do not pay any heed to him) because he is wealthy and has children.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 15[/INST]When Our Verses are recited to him he says: ‘These are fictitious stories of the bygone people.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 16[/INST]Now We will brand him on the snout.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 17[/INST]Surely We will try them (the inhabitants of Makka in the same way) as We tried (in Yemen) the owners of the garden when they swore that they would surely pluck its fruit the next morning.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 18[/INST]And they did not make any exception (saying ‘if Allah wills’ or for the share of the orphans).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 19[/INST]So a whirl (of disaster) from your Lord went round (that garden during the night) while they were asleep,</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 20[/INST]So, that (waving fruit-laden garden) became a harvested field in the morning.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 21[/INST]Then as the day dawned they started calling out one another:</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 22[/INST]‘Leave early for your tilth if you want to pick the fruit.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 23[/INST]So they set off whispering, to one another:</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 24[/INST]‘Do not let any pauper come near you in the garden today.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 25[/INST]And early in the morning they left, (feeling) quite competent to execute their plan (of getting the yield and depriving the poor of their share).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 26[/INST]Then when they saw that (ruined garden), they said: ‘We must have lost our way; (this is not our garden).’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 27[/INST](But when they saw it cautiously, they cried: ‘Oh no!) We have been deprived indeed.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 28[/INST]One of them wise and inclined to the balanced judgment said: ‘Did I not say to you: why do you not glorify and remember Allah?’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 29[/INST](Then) they said: ‘Our Lord is Holy. Surely it is we who were the wrongdoers.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 30[/INST]So, blaming and maligning, they turned to one another.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 31[/INST]They said: ‘Woe to us! No doubt it is we who were disobedient and rebellious.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 32[/INST]We hope that our Lord may give us something better than this in exchange. Verily we turn to our Lord.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 33[/INST]Such is the punishment. And truly the torment of the Hereafter is far greater (than this). Would that they only knew!</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 34[/INST]Surely for the Godfearing there are Gardens of Bliss with their Lord.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 35[/INST]Shall We (deprive) the obedient like the disobedient?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 36[/INST]What is the matter with you? How do you make a judgment?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 37[/INST]Do you have any Book with you in which you read (this),</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 38[/INST]That it contains all that you like?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 39[/INST]Or have you any (such) firm covenants from Us which will subsist till the Day of Resurrection (by means of which We are bound) that you will be provided with whatever you shall decide (for yourselves)?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 40[/INST]Ask them which of them will vouch for such (a baseless assertion)!</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 41[/INST]Or do they have any partners (as well)? Then they should bring their partners if they are truthful.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 42[/INST]The Day when the ‘shin’ (i.e. the terrifying fierceness of the Hour of Rising) will be laid bare, and (the disobedient) people will be called to prostrate themselves but they will not be able to do so (i.e. to prostrate themselves).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 43[/INST]Their eyes will be cast down (with terror and shame) and disgrace will be spreading over them whereas they were called to prostrate themselves (in the world also) when they were healthy (but they, even then, refused to fall prostrate).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 44[/INST]So, (O Esteemed Beloved,) leave Me (to exact revenge) from the one who rejects this Revelation. Now We shall take them (towards disaster) so gradually that they will not perceive it.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 45[/INST]And I am giving them respite. Surely My strategy is unbeatable.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 46[/INST]Do you ask them for any reward (for preaching the faith in Messengership) that they are weighed down with (the burden of) paying the recompense?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 47[/INST]Do they have the knowledge of the unseen that they write down (their judgments on the basis of that)?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 48[/INST]So be steadfast in waiting for the Command of your Lord and do not (take it to your heart) like (Yunus [Jonah], the Messenger with) Fish episode, when he cried out (to Allah) in a state pent-up with rage and grief (against his community).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 49[/INST]Had the Mercy and Blessing of his Lord not helped him, he would certainly have been thrown in the barren field, blamed. (But Allah saved him from that.)</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 50[/INST]Then his Lord exalted him and (placed him) among the perfectly pious, (blessing him with His exceptional nearness).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 51[/INST]And indeed when the disbelievers listen to the Qur’an it seems as if they wish to damage you with their (jealously evil) looks and say: ‘He is insane.’</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 68 verse 52[/INST]And it (the Qur’an) is direction and guidance for all the worlds.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 69[/INST]The Reality</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 1[/INST]The surely Inevitable Hour!</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 2[/INST]What is the surely Inevitable Hour?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 3[/INST]And what has made you alert what (calamity) surely is the Inevitable Hour?</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 4[/INST]Thamud and ‘Ad rejected the (calamity of a) Shattering Gravitational Collision (of all the existent cosmic bodies).</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 5[/INST]So, as for the people of Thamud, they were destroyed by the extremely violent Deafening Blast.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 6[/INST]And as for the people of ‘Ad, they (too) were destroyed by a violently cold roaring gale.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 7[/INST]Allah made that (gale) seize them for consecutive seven nights and eight days. So, you could see them lying dead (during that time as if) they were hollow roots of the uprooted palm trees.</s> |
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 8[/INST]So do you see any of them surviving?</s> |
