The Inevitable Hour!
ﮱﯓ ﰁ​

What is the Inevitable Hour?
ﯕﯖﯗﯘ ﰂ​

And what will make you realize what the Inevitable Hour is?
ﯚﯛﯜﯝ ﰃ​

˹Both˺ Thamûd and ’Ȃd denied the Striking Disaster.
ﯟﯠﯡﯢ ﰄ​

As for Thamûd, they were destroyed by an overwhelming blast.
ﯤﯥﯦﯧﯨﯩ ﰅ​

And as for ’Ȃd, they were destroyed by a furious, bitter wind
ﯫﯬﯭﯮﯯﯰﯱﯲﯳﯴﯵﯶﯷﯸﯹﯺ ﰆ​

which Allah unleashed on them non-stop for seven nights and eight days, so that you would have seen its people lying dead like trunks of uprooted palm trees.
ﯼﯽﯾﯿﰀ ﰇ​

Do you see any of them left alive?
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕﭖ ﰈ​

Also, Pharaoh and those before him, and ˹the people of˺ the overturned cities ˹of Lot˺ indulged in sin,
ﭘﭙﭚﭛﭜﭝ ﰉ​

each disobeying their Lord’s messenger, so He seized them with a crushing grip.
ﭟﭠﭡﭢﭣﭤﭥ ﰊ​

Indeed, when the floodwater had overflowed, We carried you in the floating Ark ˹with Noah˺,
ﭧﭨﭩﭪﭫﭬ ﰋ​

so that We may make this a reminder to you, and that attentive ears may grasp it.
ﭮﭯﭰﭱﭲﭳ ﰌ​

At last, when the Trumpet will be blown with one blast,
ﭵﭶﭷﭸﭹﭺ ﰍ​

and the earth and mountains will be lifted up and crushed with one blow,
ﭼﭽﭾ ﰎ​

on that Day the Inevitable Event will have come to pass.
ﮀﮁﮂﮃﮄ ﰏ​

The sky will then be so torn that it will be frail,
ﮆﮇﮈﮉﮊﮋﮌﮍﮎﮏ ﰐ​

with the angels on its sides. On that Day eight ˹mighty angels˺ will bear the Throne of your Lord above them.
ﮑﮒﮓﮔﮕﮖ ﰑ​

You will then be presented ˹before Him for judgment˺, and none of your secrets will stay hidden.
ﮘﮙﮚﮛﮜﮝﮞﮟﮠ ﰒ​

As for those given their records in their right hand, they will cry ˹happily˺, “Here ˹everyone˺! Read my record!
ﮢﮣﮤﮥﮦ ﰓ​

I surely knew I would face my reckoning.”
ﮨﮩﮪﮫ ﰔ​

They will be in a life of bliss,
ﮭﮮﮯ ﰕ​

in an elevated Garden,
ﮱﯓ ﰖ​

whose fruit will hang within reach.
ﯕﯖﯗﯘﯙﯚﯛﯜ ﰗ​

˹They will be told,˺ “Eat and drink joyfully for what you did in the days gone by.”
ﯞﯟﯠﯡﯢﯣﯤﯥﯦﯧ ﰘ​

And as for those given their record in their left hand, they will cry ˹bitterly˺, “I wish I had not been given my record,
ﯩﯪﯫﯬ ﰙ​

nor known anything of my reckoning!
ﯮﯯﯰ ﰚ​

I wish death was the end!
ﯲﯳﯴﯵﯶ ﰛ​

My wealth has not benefited me!
ﯸﯹﯺ ﰜ​

My authority has been stripped from me.”
ﯼﯽ ﰝ​

˹It will be said,˺ “Seize and shackle them,
ﯿﰀﰁ ﰞ​

then burn them in Hell,
ﰃﰄﰅﰆﰇﰈﰉ ﰟ​

then tie them up with chains seventy arms long.
ﰋﰌﰍﰎﰏﰐ ﰠ​

For they never had faith in Allah, the Greatest,
ﰒﰓﰔﰕﰖ ﰡ​

nor encouraged the feeding of the poor.
ﰘﰙﰚﰛﰜ ﰢ​

So this Day they will have no close friend here,
ﭑﭒﭓﭔﭕ ﰣ​

nor any food except ˹oozing˺ pus,
ﭗﭘﭙﭚ ﰤ​

which none will eat except the evildoers.”
ﭜﭝﭞﭟ ﰥ​

Now, I do swear by whatever you see,
ﭡﭢﭣ ﰦ​

and whatever you cannot see!
ﭥﭦﭧﭨ ﰧ​

Indeed, this ˹Quran˺ is the recitation of a noble Messenger.
ﭪﭫﭬﭭﭮﭯﭰﭱ ﰨ​

It is not the prose of a poet ˹as you claim˺, ˹yet˺ you hardly have any faith.
ﭳﭴﭵﭶﭷﭸﭹ ﰩ​

Nor is it the mumbling of a fortune-teller, ˹yet˺ you are hardly mindful.
ﭻﭼﭽﭾ ﰪ​

˹It is˺ a revelation from the Lord of all worlds.
ﮀﮁﮂﮃﮄ ﰫ​

Had the Messenger made up something in Our Name,
ﮆﮇﮈ ﰬ​

We would have certainly seized him by his right hand,
ﮊﮋﮌﮍ ﰭ​

then severed his aorta,
ﮏﮐﮑﮒﮓﮔ ﰮ​

and none of you could have shielded him ˹from Us˺!
ﮖﮗﮘ ﰯ​

Indeed, this ˹Quran˺ is a reminder to those mindful ˹of Allah˺.
ﮚﮛﮜﮝﮞ ﰰ​

And We certainly know that some of you will persist in denial,
ﮠﮡﮢﮣ ﰱ​

and it will surely be a source of regret for the disbelievers.
ﮥﮦﮧ ﰲ​

And indeed, this ˹Quran˺ is the absolute truth.
ﮩﮪﮫﮬ ﰳ​

So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Greatest.
