The infallible
What is the infallible
And what shall cause thee to understand what the infallible is
The tribes of Thamud and Ad denied as a falsehood the day which shall strike men's hearts with terror
But Thamud were destroyed by a terrible noise
And Ad were destroyed by a roaring and furious wind
which God caused to assail them for seven nights and eight days successively: Thou mightest have seen people, during the same, lying prostrate, as though they had been the roots of hollow palm-trees
and couldest thou have seen any of them remaining
Pharaoh also, and those who were before him, and the cities which were overthrown, were guilty of sin
and they severally were disobedient to the apostle of their Lord; wherefore He chastised them with an abundant chastisement
When the water of the deluge arose, We carried you in the ark which swam thereon
that We might make the same a memorial unto you, and the retaining ear might retain it
And when one blast shall sound the trumpet
and the earth shall be moved from its place, and the mountains also, and shall be dashed in pieces at one stroke
On that day the inevitable hour of judgment shall suddenly come
and the heavens shall cleave in sunder, and shall fall in pieces, on that day
And the angels shall be on the sides thereof; and eight shall bear the throne of thy Lord above them, on that day
On that day ye shall be presented before the judgment seat of God; and none of your secret actions shall be hidden
And he who shall have his book delivered into his right hand, shall say, take ye, read this my book
verily I thought that I should be brought to this my account
He shall lead a pleasing life
in a lofty garden
the fruits whereof shall be near to gather
Eat and drink with easy digestion; because of the good works which ye sent before you, in the days which are past
But he who shall have his book delivered into his left hand, shall say, O that I had not received this my book
and that I had not known what this my account was
O that death had made an end of me
My riches have not profited me
and my power is passed from me
And God shall say to the keepers of hell, take him, and bind him
and cast him into hell to be burned
then put him into a chain of the length of seventy cubits
Because he believed not in the great God
and was not solicitous to feed the poor
Wherefore this day he shall have no friend here
nor any food, but the filthy corruption flowing from the bodies of the damned
which none shall eat but the sinners
I swear by that which ye see
and that which ye see not
that this is the discourse of an honourable apostle
and not the discourse of a poet: How little do ye believe
Neither is it the discourse of a soothsayer: How little are ye admonished
It is a revelation from the Lord of all creatures
If Mohammed had forged any part of these discourses concerning Us
verily We had taken him by the right hand
and had cut in sunder the vein of his heart
neither would We have withheld any of you from chastising him
And verily this book is an admonition unto the pious
and We well know that there are some of you who charge the same with imposture
But it shall surely be an occasion of grievous sighing unto the infidels
for it is the truth of a certainty
Wherefore praise the name of thy Lord, the great God
