1O mankind, fear your Lord. Indeed, the convulsion of the [final] Hour is a terrible thing.

2On the Day you see it every nursing mother will be distracted from that [child] she was nursing, and every pregnant woman will abort her pregnancy, and you will see the people [appearing] intoxicated while they are not intoxicated; but the punishment of Allāh is severe.

3And of the people is he who disputes about Allāh without knowledge and follows every rebellious devil.

4It has been decreed for him [i.e., every devil] that whoever turns to him – he will misguide him and will lead him to the punishment of the Blaze.

5O people, if you should be in doubt about the Resurrection, then [consider that] indeed, We created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot, and then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed⁸⁵² – that We may show you.⁸⁵³ And We settle in the wombs whom We will for a specified term, then We bring you out as a child, and then [We develop you] that you may reach your [time of] maturity. And among you is he who is taken in [early] death, and among you is he who is returned to the most decrepit [old] age so that he knows, after [once having] knowledge, nothing. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it rain, it quivers and swells and grows [something] of every beautiful kind.

6That is because Allāh is the Truth and because He gives life to the dead and because He is over all things competent

7And [that they may know] that the Hour is coming – no doubt about it – and that Allāh will resurrect those in the graves.

8And of the people is he who disputes about Allāh without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening book [from Him],

9Twisting his neck [in arrogance] to mislead [people] from the way of Allāh. For him in the world is disgrace, and We will make him taste on the Day of Resurrection the punishment of the Burning Fire [while it is said],

10"That is for what your hands have put forth and because Allāh is not ever unjust to [His] servants."

11And of the people is he who worships Allāh on an edge.⁸⁵⁴ If he is touched by good, he is reassured by it; but if he is struck by trial, he turns on his face [to the other direction]. He has lost [this] world and the Hereafter. That is what is the manifest loss.

12He invokes instead of Allāh that which neither harms him nor benefits him. That is what is the extreme error.

13He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit – how wretched the protector and how wretched the associate.

14Indeed, Allāh will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds to gardens beneath which rivers flow. Indeed, Allāh does what He intends.

15Whoever should think that Allāh will not support him [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] in this world and the Hereafter – let him extend a rope to the ceiling, then cut off [his breath],⁸⁵⁵ and let him see: will his effort remove that which enrages [him]?

16And thus have We sent it [i.e., the Qur'ān] down as verses of clear evidence and because Allāh guides whom He intends.

17Indeed, those who have believed and those who were Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians and the Magians and those who associated with Allāh – Allāh will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allāh is, over all things, Witness.

18Do you not see [i.e., know] that to Allāh prostrates whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth and the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the moving creatures and many of the people? But upon many the punishment has been justified.⁸⁵⁶ And he whom Allāh humiliates – for him there is no bestower of honor. Indeed, Allāh does what He wills.

19These⁸⁵⁷ are two adversaries who have disputed over their Lord. But those who disbelieved will have cut out for them garments of fire. Poured upon their heads will be scalding water

20By which is melted that within their bellies and [their] skins.

21And for [striking] them are maces of iron.

22Every time they want to get out of it [i.e., Hellfire] from anguish, they will be returned to it, and [it will be said], "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire!"

23Indeed, Allāh will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds to gardens beneath which rivers flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearl, and their garments therein will be silk.

24And they had been guided [in worldly life] to good speech, and they were guided to the path of the Praiseworthy.

25Indeed, those who have disbelieved and avert [people] from the way of Allāh and [from] al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, which We made for the people – equal are the resident therein and one from outside – and [also] whoever intends [a deed] therein⁸⁵⁸ of deviation [in religion] or wrongdoing – We will make him taste of a painful punishment.

26And [mention, O Muḥammad], when We designated for Abraham the site of the House, [saying], "Do not associate anything with Me and purify My House for those who perform ṭawāf⁸⁵⁹ and those who stand [in prayer] and those who bow and prostrate.

27And proclaim to the people the ḥajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass –

28That they may witness [i.e., attend] benefits for themselves and mention the name of Allāh on known [i.e., specific] days over what He has provided for them of [sacrificial] animals.⁸⁶⁰ So eat of them and feed the miserable and
