two, because it will be fragile that day. The angels will align on the edges of the sky and
over them. Eight will carry up the throne of your Lord.
69:18 On that day you will be brought before Him and none of your secrets will remain
secret. Those who receive their book in their right hand will say to their friends, “Take my
book and read it. I always knew that I would come to my reckoning.” And he will have a life
of bliss, in a lofty Garden, with clusters of fruit nearby. Eat and drink with satisfaction. This
is the reward for the good acts that you performed in the past.
69:25 But those who receive their book with their left hand will say, “Oh, I wish that I were
never given my book and that I had never heard of my reckoning! I wish that death had been
the end of me! My wealth has done me no good! My power has fled from me!”
69:30 Take him, and chain him, and cast him into Hell. Then fasten him to a seventy-yard
chain, because he did not believe in Allah, the Greatest, and did not help to feed the poor.
He will have no friends here that day, no food, only the pus that runs from sores, which only
the sinners eat.
69:38 I do not need to swear by what you see and by that which you do not see—that this is
surely the word of an honored messenger! It is not the word of a poet—you have so little
faith! It is also not the word of a soothsayer—you heed little of Our warning! It is a message
from the Lord of the worlds.
69:44 If he [Mohammed] had invented any of Our revelations, We would have grabbed him
by the right hand, and cut his throat, and We would not have protected him from any of you.
69:48 But, surely, the Koran is a warning for the Allah-fearing. We know many think it is a
lie. But it will cause grief for the unbelievers, because it is the absolute truth.
69:52
Praise the name of your Lord, the Greatest.
51:41 When We sent a desolating blast against Ad, it left nothing in its wake, but turned
everything to dust. And in Thamud, they were told, “Enjoy yourself while you still have
time.” But they rebelled against their Lord’s command, and so the tempest overtook them as
they stood by and watched. They were powerless and unable to stand. Before them, We had
destroyed the people of Noah because they were wicked.
51:47 We have built the heaven with Our might and raised it up high and made it vast. We
have built the earth and stretched it out like a great carpet. How smooth We have spread it
out! We created everything in pairs—you should remind yourselves of that.
51:50 Run to Allah. I am sent by Him to warn you. Do not worship other gods beside Allah.
I am sent by Him to warn you.
51:52 Every apostle that came before was denied and called, “Sorcerer,” or “insane.”
Have these people made a tradition of their mockery? Yes, they are rebellious people.
Turn away from them, and you will not be blamed. Instead warn them, because,
truthfully a warning will help the believers.
