[22.1] O people, have fear of your Lord. The earthquake of the Hour shall be a great thing.
[22.2] On that Day you will see every one that suckles shall forsake her suckling, and
every carrier shall miscarry, and you shall see mankind drunk although they are not
drunk; dreadful will be the punishment of Allah.
[22.3] Among people there are those, who without knowledge, dispute about Allah and follow every rebel satan,
[22.4] against whom it is written down that whosoever takes him for a guide, he guides
astray, and leads him to the punishment of the Blaze.
[22.5] O people, if you are in doubt about the Resurrection, remember that We first
created you from dust, then, from a sperm drop, then from a clot, and then from a
bite-size tissue formed and unformed, so that We might clarify for you. We establish in
the wombs whatever We will for an appointed term, and then We bring you forth as
infants, then you come of age. Some of you die, and some of you are kept back to the
vilest state of life, after knowing somewhat, they know nothing. And you see the earth
dry; but no sooner do We send down rainrupon it than it begins to quiver and swell,
putting forth every fine variety (of herbage).
[22.6] That is because Allah is the Truth; He revives the dead and has power over all things.
[22.7] And the Hour is sure to come - there is no doubt. And Allah will raise up those in the graves.
[22.8] Some dispute about Allah, though they have neither knowledge nor guidance, nor an illuminating Book.
[22.9] There is for him who turns his side to lead (others) astray from the Path of Allah,
degradation in this life and We shall let him taste the punishment of the burning on the Day of Resurrection.
[22.10] 'This, is the reward for what your hands have forwarded. Allah is not unjust to the worshipers.'
[22.11] There are among the people such who worship Allah and (yet stand) on the very
edge. When goodness comes to him, he is content, but if a trial befalls him he falls upon
his face, he loses this world and the Everlasting Life; that is indeed a clear loss.
[22.12] He calls to other than Allah, to that which neither hurts him, nor benefits him; that is indeed far error.
[22.13] He calls upon him whose harm is nearer than his benefit, an evil guide and an evil friend.
[22.14] As for those who believe and do good works Allah will admit them to gardens
underneath which rivers flow. Allah indeed does what He will.
[22.15] If any one thinks that Allah will not give him (Prophet Muhammad) victory in this
present world and in the Everlasting Life, let him stretch a rope to heaven, and let him
sever it. Then, let him see if his guile does away with that which has enraged him.
[22.16] As such We have sent it in clear verses. Indeed, Allah gives guidance to whom He will.
[22.17] Surely, they that believe, and those of Jewry, the Sabaeans, the Nazarenes, the
Magians, and the unbelievers, Allah will judge them on the Day of Resurrection. Surely, Allah is witness over everything.
[22.18] Have you not seen that to Allah prostrate all who are in the heavens and all who
are in the earth, the sun and the moon, the stars and the mountains, the trees and the
beasts, and many people? And many deserve the punishment. He who is abased by
