Their eyes will be cast
down and ignominy will cover them; they used to be called to prostrate
themselves (offer prayers), while they were healthy and good (in the life of
the world, but they did not). (43) Then leave Me Alone with such as belie this
Qur'ân. We shall punish them gradually from directions they perceive not. (44) And I will grant them
a respite. Verily, My Plan is strong. (45) Or is it that you (O Muhammad SAW) ask
them a wage, so that they are heavily burdened with debt? (46) Or that the Ghaib
(unseen — here in this Verse it means Al-Lauh Al-Mahfûz) is in their hands, so
that they can write it down? (47) So wait with patience for the Decision of
your Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish — when he cried out (to Us) while he was in deep sorrow. (See the Qur'ân, Verse 21:87). (48) Had not a Grace from
his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been (left in the stomach of the
fish, but We forgave him), so he was cast off on the
naked shore, while he was to be blamed. (49) Then his Lord chose him and made him
of the righteous. (50) And verily, those who disbelieve would almost make you
slip with their eyes (through hatred) when they hear the Reminder (the Qur'ân),
and they say: "Verily, he (Muhammad SAW) is a madman!" (51) But it is nothing
else than a Reminder to all the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists). (52)
Al-Haaqqa
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
The Inevitable (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)! (1) What is the
Inevitable? (2) And what will make you know what the Inevitable is? (3) Thamûd and 'Ad people
denied the Qâri'ah [the striking Hour (of Judgement)]! (4) As for Thamûd, they
were destroyed by the awful cry! (5) And as for 'Ad, they were destroyed by a
furious violent wind! (6) Which Allâh imposed on them for seven nights and eight days
in succession, so that you could see men lying overthrown (destroyed), as if
they were hollow trunks of date-palms! (7) Do you see any remnants of them? (8)
