Ayetbul | Kuran Mealleri | Quran | Abdel Khalek Himmat meali

1

The absolute reality.

2

What a reality.

3

You just do not know what the Day of Reality is like.

4

The people of Thamud -the Thamudites- and those of 'Ad - the 'Adites denied that Day of the stunning roar concurrent with the collision of the celestial bodies.

5

The Thamudites were destroyed by an overwhelming thunderous convulsion of the earth's surface produced by a natural force within the earth's crust.

6

And the 'Adites were destroyed by a cold terrifying destructive hurricane, merciless, pitiless and unrelenting,

7

Which hurricane was calculated and directed against them for seven successive nights and eight successive days; you could see their dwellings collapsing making fresh victims. They lay prostrate as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees tumbled down by an unruly wind.

8

And now do you see any of them who had outlasted or remained a survivor?

9

And there were Pharaoh and those before him and those of the corrupt cities who wickedly committed the unprecedented sin; all of whom did evil in exchange for good.

10

They disobeyed the Messenger of Allah their Creator, so He stunned them and overtook them by a condign punishment making them unable to hold their own.

11

When the water gained advantage on the kingdom of the shore and inundated the land, We carried you in the Ark which We kept afloat;

12

An incident which was a signal instance serving as a deterrent in order that you preserve its memory and the bowing ear absorbs it.

13

When the trumpet is blown once or sounded and all those in heaven and on earth are dumbfounded

14

And the earth and the mountains are given a lift and in one crash they are pounded, ending with the wrecks of matter and the crush of the Worlds,

15

There and then has the Hour of Truth come to pass, and has been actuated.

16

And the heavens have been parted asunder, and with frailty they stand shaky and agitated.

17

And the angels now standing in attention, high will eight of them carry your Creator's throne.

18

There and then shall all of you have audience of Allah for judgment, and not a single action of your worldly deeds will be hidden or unknown.

19

Then he who is given his book, bearing his record, in his right hand will joyfully say to those he meets: "there, you may read my book lending radiance of the divine glory".

20

"I was convinced", he adds, "of the truth of The Day of Judgement when I would be requited the like for the like".

21

Such persons whose deeds were imprinted with wisdom and piety shall live in comfort and delight.

22

In Gardens exalted and blissful, spectacular and most pleasing to the sight.

23

With fruits on branches springing up and down to be always within easy reach and always in their sight.

24

Welcomed therein, they will be told: "Eat and drink and enjoy all that affords pleasure, in return for the works of equity you had done in the days bygone".

25

But he whose book, bearing his record, is given in his left hand will pitifully say: "I wish I had suffered eternal death then I would never have been given that book".

26

"Nor would I have been asked to answer for conduct not knowing what language shall my countenance speak nor what shall it look like".

27

"I wish my death were the end and the final catastrophe. "

28

"What good did my wealth do me?"

29

"My power, my influence, and my authority have vanished and my realm has collapsed!"

30

Seize him, bind him and make fast with a tie,

31

Then throw him in the fire to be tortured but not to die,

32

And fix him upon a chain seventy cubits ( or forearms ) long.

33

Never did he accept, or recognize Allah, the Almighty.

34

Nor did he encourage ministering to the necessities and demands of the indigent.

35

He will not find here any who would afford him help or deliver him from Allah's retributory punishment.

36

Nor will he feed except upon the bloody rotten discharges;

37

Which no one consumes but the wicked who are destined to make their abode in Hell.

38

I swear by all that you can see,

39

And by all that you cannot see,

40

That the words uttered are sacred words expressed by an honourable Messenger -the Spirit or the Messenger- held in high esteem,

41

And not a gifted utterance championed by a poet that you could hardly believe.

42

Nor is it a prophecy foretold by a foreteller that you do not, reflect upon with close attention.

43

It -the utterance- is that of sacred words revealed by Allah, the Creator of the worlds, past present and those to come.

44

And if he -the Messenger- had uttered error against Us and his heart worked iniquity,

45

We. would have smitten him by the right,

46

And We would have broken the continuity of blood flow in his major artery close to his heart besides a grievous woeful future plight.

47

And no one among~ you could defend him from Us.

48

But it -the utterance- is a Revelation to remind those who entertain the profound reverence dutiful to Allah,

49

We do know that among you people are some who refuse to admit the truth of the Quran, albeit it is convincing, and quite clear,

50

And that it has distressed the minds of those who refuse to acknowledge Allah and are satisfied with the age of discord;

51

But it is the Absolute Truth which together with reality does accord;

52

And so, praise the attributes and advance the glory of the Name of Allah, your Creator.
