What is the Sure Reality?
And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is?
The Thamud and the 'Ad People (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity!
But the Thamud,- they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning!
He made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: so that thou couldst see the (whole) people lying prostrate in its (path), as they had been roots of hollow palm-trees tumbled down!
And disobeyed (each) the messenger of their Lord; so He punished them with an abundant Penalty.
We, when the water (of Noah's Flood) overflowed beyond its limits, carried you (mankind), in the floating (Ark),
That We might make it a Message unto you, and that ears (that should hear the tale and) retain its memory should bear its (lessons) in remembrance.
And the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed to powder at one stroke,-
On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass.
That Day shall ye be brought to Judgment: not an act of yours that ye hide will be hidden.
"I did really understand that my Account would (One Day) reach me!"
The Fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near.
"Eat ye and drink ye, with full satisfaction; because of the (good) that ye sent before you, in the days that are gone!"
And he that will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: "Ah! Would that my Record had not been given to me!
"And that I had never realised how my account (stood)!
"Ah! Would that (Death) had made an end of me!
"My power has perished from me!"...
(The stern command will say): "Seize ye him, and bind ye him,
"And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire.
"And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent!
"Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds,
That this is verily the word of an honoured messenger;
Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye receive.
(This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds.
We should certainly seize him by his right hand,
And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:
And We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject (it).
But truly (Revelation) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers.
