Surah Hajj










O humanity, be conscious of your Lord, for the shock of the end of time will be a tremendous thing:
- Thomas Cleary
the day you see it, every nursing woman will forget the child she suckles, and every pregnant female will drop its fetus, and you will see the people intoxicated though they are not drunken: but the punishment of God is severe.
- Thomas Cleary
Yet some people dispute about God without knowledge: and they follow every defiant devil,
- Thomas Cleary
of whom it is written that he will misguide anyone who puts him in charge, leading him to the torment of the blaze.
- Thomas Cleary
O humanity, if you are in doubt about the resurrection, remember that We created you from dust, then from a drop, then from a clot, then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed, in order to edify you. And We keep in the womb those We wish, up to a designated term; then We bring you out as infants, and enable you to reach your maturity: but some of you will pass away, and some of you will be kept here until the age of senility, such that they know nothing of what they knew before. And you see the earth lifeless, but then We shower water on it, and it stirs and swells and produces every beautiful species.
- Thomas Cleary
That is because God is reality itself, giving life to the dead, in command of all things;
- Thomas Cleary
and the end of time is coming; there can be no doubt about it; and God will resurrect those in the graves.
- Thomas Cleary
And yet some people still argue about God, without knowledge, without direction, and without enlightening scripture,
- Thomas Cleary
turning aside in contempt to deflect from God’s way. They are disgraced in this world, and We will have them taste the torment of burning on the day of resurrection:
- Thomas Cleary
“That is for what you brought about by your own hands—God is not unjust to the servants.”
- Thomas Cleary
