| 63. People ask thee concerning the Hour. Say, `The knowledge of it is with ALLAH alone.' And what will make thee know that the Hour may be nigh ? 64. ALLAH has, surely, cursed the disbelievers, and has prepared for them a blazing fire, 65. Wherein they will abide forever. They will find therein no friend, nor helper. 66. On the day when their faces are turned over into the fire they will say, `O, would that we had obeyed ALLAH and obeyed the Messenger !' 67. And they will say, `Our Lord, we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones and they led us astray from the way, 68. `Our Lord, give them double punishment and curse them with a mighty curse.' 69. O ye who believe ! be not like those who maligned Moses; but ALLAH cleared of what they said about him. And he had a great position in the sight of ALLAH. 70. O ye who believe ! Fear ALLAH and say the straightforward word. 71. HE will set right you actions for you and forgive you your sins. And whoso obeys ALLAH and HIS Messenger shall, surely, attain a supreme triumph. 72. Verily, WE have offered the trust of the Divine Law to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they refused to bear it and were afraid of it. But man bore it. Indeed, he is capable of being unjust to, and neglectful of, himself. 73. The consequence is that ALLAH will punish hypocritical men and hypocritical women, and idolatrous men and idolatrous women; and ALLAH turns in Mercy to believing men and believing women; and ALLAH is Most forgiving Merciful. |
