Surah 22. Al-Hajj

In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful

1. O mankind! Fear your Lord. Lo! the earthquake of The Hour is a tremendous thing.
2. On the day when you behold it, every nursing mother will forget her nursling and every pregnant one will be delivered of her burden, and you will see mankind as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but the Doom of ALLAH will be strong.
3. Among mankind is he who disputes concerning ALLAH without knowledge, and follows each froward devil;
4. For him it is decreed that whoso takes him for friend, be surely will mislead him and will Guide him to the punishment of the Flame.
5. O mankind! if you are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, then lo! We have created you from dust, then from a drop of seed, then from a clot, then from a little lump of flesh shapely and shapeless, that We may make clean for you. And We cause what We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed time, and afterward We bring you forth as infants, then that you attain your full strength. And among you there is he who dies, and among you there is he who is brought back to the most abject time of life, so that, after knowledge, he knows nothing. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down water thereon, it does thrill and swell and Put forth every lovely kind.
6. That is because ALLAH, He is the Truth. Lo! He quickens the dead, and lo! He is Able to do all things;
7. And because the Hour will come, there is no doubt thereof; and because ALLAH will raise those who are in the graves.
8. And among mankind is he who disputes concerning ALLAH without knowledge or Guidance or a Scripture giving light.
9. Turning away in pride to fool (men) from the way of ALLAH. For him in this world is ignominy, and on the Day of Resurrection We make him taste the doom of burning.
10. This is for that which your two hands have sent before, and because ALLAH is no oppressor of His slaves.
