The Inevitable Reality!
What is the Inevitable Reality?
And what will make you know exactly what the Inevitable Reality is?
(The people of) Thamūd and ‘Ād refused to admit the truth of the calamity.
As for the Thamūd, they were destroyed by loud and dreadful cry.
As for ‘Ād, they were destroyed by furious howling wind,
Which Allâh unleashed it upon them for seven nights and eight days continuously. Thus, you could see the people lying lifeless as if they were hollow trunks of date-palms!
Now, can you see any trace of them?!
Similarly, Pharaoh, and those who lived before him, and the overthrown cities- (all of them) indulged in iniquitous deeds,
And persistently refused to yield to what their Lord has revealed to His Messenger, and so He chastised them with a fierce punishment.
Truly when the waters rose high above the earth, We carried you in the floating (Ark)
So that We may make this a lesson for you, and that those who attentively listen will take close heed (of the warnings).
Then when the Trumpet will be blown with one blast,
The earth and the mountains will be lifted up from their places and dashed to pieces with a single blow.
Then, on that day, the Inevitable Event will come to pass.
The heavens will split asunder and become frail on that day
While the Angel will be on its sides. Eight of them, on that day, will carry the (Glorious) Throne of your Lord above all the creatures.
On that day, you will be brought (before your Lord): all the secrets of yours will be laid bare.
Then as for him who is given his record book in his right hand, he will say: "Here, take and read my book!.
Surely I knew that I would meet my account.”
So he will be in a delightful life,
In a lofty Garden:
Its fruits are within reach.
Eat and drink pleasantly for what you put forth in the days past.
However, as for him who is given his record book in his left hand, he will say: "I wish that I had not been given my book,
And that I had not known what my account was.
I wish death had been the end.
My wealth has not availed me,
(And) I have lost the power of influence.”
Now seize him, then shackle him,
Then throw him into the Inferno,
And then tie him up with a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits.
Most assuredly he had no Faith in Allâh, the Most Great.
He did not urge on the feeding of the poor.
So, this day, he will have no true friend here
Neither any food (to eat) but pus.
Which none eats it but the Ungodly Sinners.
But nay! I swear by all that you see
And by all that you do not see.
This (Qur’ān) is most definitely the utterance of an honorable messenger.
It is not the utterance of a poet. You have so little faith!
It is not the utterance of sage. You have little reason to heed .
It is Revelation Knowledge from the Lord of all the worlds.
If he had invented false sayings about Us,
We would definitely have taken him by the right hand,
Then cut off his aorta.
No one of you would be able to prevent Us from punishing him.
Verily (this Qur’ān) is a Book of Enlightenment Quotes for the Pious.
And most assuredly We know that there are some among you who are spiritually blind.
Verily (this Qur’ān) is a source of bitter regret for the spiritually blind.
Indeed, It is the Absolute Truth.
Now, therefore, glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.
