<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 9[/INST]And Pharaoh and those before him and (the dwellers of) the overthrown towns (of the community of Lut [Lot]) committed grave sins.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 10[/INST]So they (also) disobeyed the Messenger of their Lord. And Allah seized them with a mighty seizure.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 11[/INST]Indeed when water (of the Deluge) overflowed the limit, We carried you in the floating Ark,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 12[/INST]So that We make this (episode a reminding) lesson of warning for you and that the retentive ears may retain it.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 13[/INST]Then when the Trumpet will be blown once,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 14[/INST]And the earth and mountains will be removed (from their places), they will then be crushed to sand particles in a single crash.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 15[/INST]Then that will be the Hour when the surely Inevitable (calamity) will occur.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 16[/INST]And (all) the heavenly bodies will split apart and this universe will come to comprise (black) holes by means of a force (which coordinates and keeps the system going).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 17[/INST]And the angels will be standing on its edges and above them that Day eight (angels or parties of angels) will be carrying the Throne of your Lord.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 18[/INST]That Day you will be made to appear (for reckoning). Nothing of your secrets will remain hidden.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 19[/INST]So the one who will be given his record in the right hand will say (pleased): ‘Come and read my record.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 20[/INST]I firmly believed that I would find my account (easy).’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 21[/INST]So he will live a pleasant life,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 22[/INST]In an elevated lofty Paradise,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 23[/INST]The clusters of its fruits hanging low (due to abundance).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 24[/INST](It will be said to them:) ‘Eat and drink rejoicing, in recompense of (your deeds) that you had sent forward during the days of your past (life).’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 25[/INST]And as for him who will be given his Record in his left hand will say: ‘Would that I had not been given my Record!</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 26[/INST]And would that I had not known about my account!</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 27[/INST]Alas! Would that (death) had settled my affair once for all!</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 28[/INST]Today my wealth has not been able to keep (the torment) away from me even a little.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 29[/INST]My power and domain have (also) gone from me.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 30[/INST](It will be commanded:) ‘Seize him and put him in neck-fetter.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 31[/INST]Then cast him into Hell.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 32[/INST]Then bind him tightly in a seventy yard long chain.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 33[/INST]Verily he did not believe in Allah, the Lord of Majesty.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 34[/INST]Nor did he urge the feeding of the poor.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 35[/INST]So today he does not have any warm friend.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 36[/INST]Nor has he anything to eat except filthy pus,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 37[/INST]That no one will eat except the sinners.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 38[/INST]So I swear by the things that you see,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 39[/INST]And by those things that you do not see.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 40[/INST]Assuredly this (Qur’an) is the (God-sent) Commandment of the Exalted and Glorious Messenger ([blessings and peace be upon him] which he expounds as a Messenger and as a Vicegerent).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 41[/INST]And it is not the poetry of a poet (composed with literary expertise). You have but little faith.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 42[/INST]Nor it is the word of a fortune-teller (designed by skilful guesswork). You take but little advice.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 43[/INST](This) is sent down by the Lord of all the worlds.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 44[/INST]And had he ascribed to Us even a (single) fabricated thing,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 45[/INST]We would have seized him with full force and might,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 46[/INST]Then certainly We would have cut his life artery,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 47[/INST]Then no one of you could have held (Us) back from it.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 48[/INST]So no doubt this (Qur’an) is direction and guidance for the Godfearing.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 49[/INST]And surely We know that some of you are the beliers (of this open Truth).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 50[/INST]And surely this is (a cause of) bitter regret for the disbelievers.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 51[/INST]And undeniably it is the Truth of Absolute Certitude.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 69 verse 52[/INST]So, (O Esteemed Beloved,) glorify your Lord, Most Magnificent, with persistence.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70[/INST]The Ascending Stairways</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 1[/INST]A questioner asked for the torment which is sure to come about,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 2[/INST]Upon the disbelievers, which no one can repel.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 3[/INST](That will befall) from Allah, Who is the Lord of the Ascending Steps to Heaven (and of the higher ranks and grades of spiritual hierarchy).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 4[/INST]The angels and ar-Ruh al-Amin (the Spirit) rise towards His (Throne) in a day which measures fifty thousand years (according to the worldly scale).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 5[/INST]So, (O Beloved,) observe patience (on the assertions of the disbelievers) without regrets.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 6[/INST]Surely they imagine that (Day) to be far off,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 7[/INST]But We see it very near.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 8[/INST]On that Day the sky will become like molten copper,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 9[/INST]And the mountains like (flakes of) coloured wool,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 10[/INST]And no friend will enquire after his friend,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 11[/INST](Though) they will be shown (to one another). The sinner would desire to ransom himself from the torment of that Day by his children,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 12[/INST]And (by giving) his wife and his brother,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 13[/INST]And (all) his family who used to provide him shelter,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 14[/INST]And all the people on earth (as recompense for himself), so that this (atonement) may save him from (Allah’s torment).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 15[/INST]But no! By no means! Surely that is a Flaming Fire,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 16[/INST]Stripping off the skin of all the limbs and the scalp.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 17[/INST]It is calling him who turned his back (on the Truth) and turned away,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 18[/INST]And (he who) accumulated wealth and then held it (from distribution).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 19[/INST]Surely man has been created impatient and greedy.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 20[/INST]He gets upset and worried when some hardship (or financial loss) afflicts him,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 21[/INST]But becomes miserly when he receives good fortune (or affluence),</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 22[/INST]Except for those who offer Prayer,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 23[/INST]And are constant in their Prayer,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 24[/INST]And those (who are committed to sacrifice and) in whose wealth there is a fixed share,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 25[/INST]Of one who begs and of one who is needy but does not beg,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 26[/INST]And those who affirm the Day of Requital,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 27[/INST]And those who fear the torment of their Lord;</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 28[/INST]Surely the torment of their Lord is not a thing which should not be feared;</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 29[/INST]And those who safeguard their private parts,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 30[/INST]Except from their wives or the female slaves they possess. So (in this) there is no blame on them.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 31[/INST]But he who looks for more than that, then it is they who transgress the limits.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 32[/INST]And those who safeguard their trusts and promises,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 33[/INST]And those who stand firm on their testimonies,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 34[/INST]And those who safeguard their Prayers,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 35[/INST]It is they who will enjoy great honour and respect in the Gardens.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 36[/INST]So what is the matter with the disbelievers that they are coming towards you running,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 37[/INST]From the right as well as the left, in groups?</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 38[/INST]Does everyone of them hope that he may be admitted to the Garden of Bliss (without faith and deeds)?</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 39[/INST]Certainly not! Surely We have created them from a substance which they (also) know.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 40[/INST]So I swear by the Lord of the easts and the wests that surely We have Absolute Power,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 41[/INST]To replace them with people better than them and We are not at all incapable (of doing it).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 42[/INST]So leave them occupied with their absurd talk and pastime until they meet that Day of theirs which they have been promised.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 43[/INST]The Day when they will come forth from their graves in haste as if they are running towards the temples of their idols.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 70 verse 44[/INST](Their plight) will be that their eyes will be cast down (with shame and fear) and disgrace enveloping them. It is this Day which they were promised.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 71[/INST]Noah</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 71 verse 1[/INST]Surely We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people: ‘Warn your people before a painful torment comes upon them.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 71 verse 2[/INST]He said: ‘O my people! Indeed I am a clear Warner to you,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 71 verse 3[/INST]That you must worship Allah and fear Him and obey me.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 71 verse 4[/INST]He will forgive your sins and will give you respite till an appointed term. Surely when (the appointed) time of Allah comes then respite is not given if only you knew.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 71 verse 5[/INST]Nuh (Noah) submitted: ‘O my Lord! Indeed I kept calling my people night and day,</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 71 verse 6[/INST]But my calling did no good except making them flee away.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 71 verse 7[/INST]And every time I called them (towards faith) so that You forgive them, they only thrust their fingers into their ears and wrapped their clothes over themselves and stuck obstinately (to disbelief) and behaved most arrogantly.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 71 verse 8[/INST]Then I called them aloud.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 71 verse 9[/INST]Then I advised them publicly and privately and secretly (as well).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 71 verse 10[/INST]Then I said: ‘Seek forgiveness from your Lord. Surely He is Most Forgiving.</s>
