Ayetbul | Kuran Mealleri | Quran | Abdel Khalek Himmat meali

1

O you who are garbed from head to foot in heavy cloth,

2

Rise and warn the people of neglecting their duties toward Allah,

3

Advance the glory of Allah and ascribe glory in adoration to His Name,

4

Cleanse your clothes and your heart and mind and imprint your deeds with wisdom and piety and resolution,

5

Refuse to recognize idolatry and things not pertaining to Allah, so that you be free from spiritual and moral pollution,

6

Do not give, expecting to take more than what you have given,

7

and in the cause of Allah exercise patience and bear with others their faults, for in patience possess you your soul.

8

For when finally the h trumpet is sounded,

9

Then it is a momentous Day of heavy consequence, a Day of constraint and constriction,

10

So distressful to those who refused to acknowledge Allah and conform to His blessed will; a day fraught with pain and affliction.

11

Now leave to Me the one whom I brought into being and ushered him into this world helpless, empty, with no progeny and never less alone than when he was alone

12

Then in affluence did I accord him wealth and abounding resources,

13

and a progeny by his side, who would bear witness to the considerable position he enjoys and the will he enforces,

14

I made him lead an easy life with success and prosperity wherever he set his courses.

15

But his greed is never satisfied and he has always asked for more;

16

Yet how obstinate to Our signs, revelations and ordinances he has been; holding no opinions but they held him and reign in his core.

17

Such persons I will afflict with endless calamities and make the like unable to hold his own.

18

He pondered and he planned.

19

Woe be he, for how he pondered and how he planned,

20

and woe indeed will he be for the way he pondered and planned.

21

Then he directed his intellectual eye and analyzed and scanned

22

Then he ended with knitting his brows in displeasure and his look expressed disapproval,

23

Then he concluded to turn a deaf ear and to continue in his inordinate self- esteem;

24

Then he said "This is nothing but sorcery assumed by Muhammad from the fables of those of old;"

25

Then he added, "it is nothing but words expressed by mortals; words which to our beliefs do not accord. "

26

There I will cast him into the pit of Hell named "Saqar",

27

and you just do not know what "Saqar" is like;

28

Its fiercely fiery infernal flames simply consume anything coming their way, but the wicked shall neither die nor live therein,

29

Unkind to mankind; it blackens, then burns their skin, but as often as their integument is consumed it is replaced by a fresh new skin*

30

It " Saqar " is guarded by a body of angels numerically nineteen, massive, robust mighty and severe on strangers.

31

We assigned to no one but the angels the guardianship of the Fire and We stated their number

32

No, but I swear by the moon,

33

and by the night as it retreats and falls into a swoon,

34

By the apparent ascent of the sun above the horizon at the beginning of the day;

35

That "Saqar" is one of many pits of Hell that is. ghastly and immense,

36

Portrayed to warn mankind,

37

So that he who wishes to proceed to the right path may still have a chance, and he who wishes to lag behind, err and stray will have been warned.

38

Every soul shall be pledged for its deeds,

39

Except those destined to hold he position on the right.

40

Beheld in bliss, they will convey their thoughts reciprocally in talk

41

With the wicked in their infernal abyss;

42

They will ask them: " What brought you to "Saqar" ? "

43

" We were not among those who engaged in worship. " they will admit;

44

" Nor did we feed the indigent nor to benevolence did we submit".

45

"We always joined those who delighted in idle talk and we were given to indulging in personal vanity and drowned ourselves in the nonsensical".

46

"We obstinately refused to acknowledge the truth of Day of Judgment and actuality".

47

" Until we were caught in the jaws of death and were affronted with reality".

48

There and then, no intercession can profit them or afford them help.

49

But why would they reject admonition and refuse to take heed!

50

As if they were zebras,

51

Rushing away from a lion in a stampede!

52

Ironically every one of these infidels wants a Scripture to be revealed to him and alone.

53

But no, they deny the Hereafter and their denial of it drives them to seek pleasure in vices instead of virtues and they think what they will is fate.

54

Yet this Quran is the spirit of truth guiding into all truth and inducing those whose hearts' ears are open to lift to Allah their inward sight and keep Him always in mind.

55

He who wishes to do so is left to his conscience to bind;

56

But no wish would be fulfilled until Allah has so willed, He is Reverence personified. He is the Creator Who merits profound reverence and He is the Absolute Source of forgiveness, and to those who repent, perhaps He will relent and quit them all His debt.
