Yusuf Ali
The Sure Reality!
Yusuf Ali
What is the Sure Reality?
Yusuf Ali
And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is?
Yusuf Ali
The Thamud and the ´Ad People (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity!
Yusuf Ali
But the Thamud,- they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning!
Yusuf Ali
And the ´Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent;
Yusuf Ali
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!
Yusuf Ali
Then seest thou any of them left surviving?
Yusuf Ali
And Pharaoh, and those before him, and the Cities Overthrown, committed habitual Sin.
Yusuf Ali
And disobeyed (each) the messenger of their Lord; so He punished them with an abundant Penalty.
Yusuf Ali
We, when the water (of Noah´s Flood) overflowed beyond its limits, carried you (mankind), in the floating (Ark),
Yusuf Ali
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.
Yusuf Ali
Then, when one blast is sounded on the Trumpet,
Yusuf Ali
And the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed to powder at one stroke,-
Yusuf Ali
On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass.
Yusuf Ali
And the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy,
Yusuf Ali
And the angels will be on its sides, and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of thy Lord above them.
Yusuf Ali
That Day shall ye be brought to Judgment: not an act of yours that ye hide will be hidden.
Yusuf Ali
Then he that will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Ah here! Read ye my Record!
Yusuf Ali
"I did really understand that my Account would (One Day) reach me!"
