the Hour (of Judgement) will be an awesome thing.1
the Hour (of Judgement) will be an awesome thing.1
(22:2) On the Day when you witness it, the suckling woman shall utterly neglect
the infant she suckles,2 and every pregnant woman shall cast her
burden, and you will see people as though they are drunk, when they are not
drunk; but dreadful shall be Allah's chastisement.3

(22:5) O mankind! If you have any doubt concerning Resurrection, then know
that it is surely We Who created you from dust, then from a drop of sperm,5
then from a clot of blood, then from a little lump of flesh, some of it shapely
and other shapeless.6 (We are rehearsing this) that We may make the
reality clear to you. We cause (the drop of sperm) that We please to remain
in the wombs till an appointed time. We bring you forth as infants (and nurture
you) that you may come of age. Among you is he that dies (at a young age) and
he who is kept back to the most abject age so that after once having known,
he reaches a stage when he knows nothing.7 You see the earth dry
and barren and then no sooner than We send down water upon it, it begins to
quiver and swell and brings forth every kind of beauteous vegetation.

(22:11) And among people is he who worships Allah on the borderline; if any
good befalls him,5 he is satisfied; but if a trial afflicts him,
he utterly turns away.6 He will incur the loss of this world and
the Hereafter. That indeed is a clear loss.7

righteously0 to enter Gardens beneath which rivers flow. For, most
certainly, Allah does whatever He pleases.1

and in the Hereafter, let him reach out to heaven through a rope, and then make
a hole in the sky and see whether his device can avert that which enrages him.2

(22:17) On the Day of Resurrection3 Allah will most certainly

Allah watches over everything.

(22:18) Have you not seen that all those who are in the heavens and all those
who are in the earth prostrate themselves before Allah;1 and so
do the sun and the moon, and the stars and the mountains, and the trees, and
the beasts, and so do many human beings,2 and even many of those
who are condemned to chastisement?3 And he whom Allah humiliates,
none can give him honour.4 Allah does whatever He wills.5

(22:19) These two groups (the believers and unbelievers) are in dispute about
their Lord.6 As for those that disbelieve, garments of fire have
been cut out for them;7 boiling water shall be poured down over
their heads,

be of silk.

from the Way of Allah and hinder them from the Holy Mosque2 which
We have set up (as a place of worship) for all people, equally for those who
dwell therein and for those who come from outside,3 (they surely
deserve punishment). Whosoever deviates therein from the Right Way and acts
with iniquity,4 We shall cause him to taste a painful chastisement.

(22:26) Call to mind when We assigned to Abraham the site of the House (Kabah),
directing him: "Do not associate aught with Me" and "Keep My House pure for
those who walk around it,5 and for those who stand and who bow down
and who prostrate themselves (in worship),

(22:34) For every people We have laid down a ritual of sacrifice (- although

(22:36) We have appointed sacrificial camels7 among the symbols

upon aught other than Allah shall never be able to create even a fly, even if
