[Ibrahim 14:43] They shall come out running in bewilderment, with their heads raised, their gaze not returning to them; and their hearts will not have any calm. [Ibrahim 14:44] And warn the people of a day when the punishment will come upon them, therefore the unjust will say, "O our Lord! Give us respite for a little while - for us to obey Your call and follow the Noble Messengers"; (It will be said) "So had you not sworn before that, ‘We have not to move to any place else from the earth’?" [Ibrahim 14:45] "And you dwelt in the houses of those who had wronged themselves and it became very clear to you how We had dealt with them, and We illustrated several examples for you." [Ibrahim 14:46] And indeed they carried out their scheme, and their scheming is within Allah’s control; and their scheme was not such that could move these mountains *. (* The revelations / signs of Allah.) [Ibrahim 14:47] So do not ever assume that Allah will not fulfil His promise to His Noble Messengers; indeed Allah is the Dominant, the Avenger. [Ibrahim 14:48] On the day when the earth will be changed to other than this earth, and the heavens - and they will all come forth standing before Allah, the One, the Dominant above all. [Ibrahim 14:49] And on that day you will see the guilty linked together in chains. [Ibrahim 14:50] Their cloaks will be of pitch and fire will cover their faces. [Ibrahim 14:51] In order that Allah may repay each soul what it had earned; indeed Allah spends no time in judging the account. [Ibrahim 14:52] This is the message
to be conveyed to all mankind - and in order to warn them with it, and for them
to know that He is the only One God, and for men of understanding to heed
advice. |
