The Scriptures of Abraham and Moses
( 1 ) By the sky and the night comer -( 2 ) And what can make you know what is the night comer?( 3 ) It is the piercing star -( 4 ) There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.( 5 ) So let man observe from what he was created.( 6 ) He was created from a fluid, ejected,( 7 ) Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.( 8 ) Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.( 9 ) The Day when secrets will be put on trial,( 10 ) Then man will have no power or any helper.( 11 ) By the sky which returns [rain]( 12 ) And [by] the earth which cracks open,( 13 ) Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,( 14 ) And it is not amusement.( 15 ) Indeed, they are planning a plan,( 16 ) But I am planning a plan.( 17 ) So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
( 1 ) Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,( 2 ) Who created and proportioned( 3 ) And who destined and [then] guided( 4 ) And who brings out the pasture( 5 ) And [then] makes it black stubble.( 6 ) We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,( 7 ) Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.( 8 ) And We will ease you toward ease.( 9 ) So remind, if the reminder should benefit;( 10 ) He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
( 11 ) But the wretched one will avoid it -( 12 ) [He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,( 13 ) Neither dying therein nor living.( 14 ) He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself( 15 ) And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.( 16 ) But you prefer the worldly life,( 17 ) While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.( 18 ) Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,( 19 ) The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
( 1 ) Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?( 2 ) [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled,( 3 ) Working [hard] and exhausted.( 4 ) They will [enter to] burn in an intensely hot Fire.( 5 ) They will be given drink from a boiling spring.( 6 ) For them there will be no food except from a poisonous, thorny plant( 7 ) Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.( 8 ) [Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure.( 9 ) With their effort [they are] satisfied( 10 ) In an elevated garden,( 11 ) Wherein they will hear no unsuitable speech.( 12 ) Within it is a flowing spring.( 13 ) Within it are couches raised high( 14 ) And cups put in place( 15 ) And cushions lined up( 16 ) And carpets spread around.( 17 ) Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created?( 18 ) And at the sky - how it is raised?( 19 ) And at the mountains - how they are erected?( 20 ) And at the earth - how it is spread out?( 21 ) So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder.( 22 ) You are not over them a controller.
