Then turned he his back all hastily,

And gathered an a.s.sembly and proclaimed,

And said, "I am your Lord supreme."

So G.o.d visited on him the punishment of this life and of the other.

Verily, herein is a lesson for him who hath the fear of G.o.d.

Are ye the harder to create, or the heaven which he hath built?

He reared its height and fas.h.i.+oned it,

And gave darkness to its night, and brought out its light,

And afterwards stretched forth the earth,-

He brought forth from it its waters and its pastures;

And set the mountains firm

For you and your cattle to enjoy.

But when the grand overthrow shall come,

The day when a man shall reflect on the pains that he hath taken,

And h.e.l.l shall be in full view of all who are looking on;

Then, as for him who hath transgressed

And hath chosen this present life,

Verily, h.e.l.l-that shall be his dwelling-place:

But as to him who shall have feared the majesty of his Lord, and shall have refrained his soul from l.u.s.t,

Verily, Paradise-that shall be his dwelling-place.

They will ask thee of "the Hour," when will be its fixed time?

But what knowledge hast thou of it?

Its period is known only to thy Lord;

And thou art only charged with the warning of those who fear it.

On the day when they shall see it, it shall seem to them as though they had not tarried in the tomb, longer than its evening or its morn.

1 This Sura obviously consists of three portions, verses 1-14, 15-26, 27-46, of which the third is the latest in point of style, and the second, more detailed than is usual in the Suras of the early period, which allude to Jewish and other legend only in brief and vague terms. It may therefore be considered as one of the short and early Suras.

2 Or, By those angels which precede, i.e., the souls of the pious into Paradise. Or, are beforehand with the Satans and djinn in learning the decrees of G.o.d.

SURA LXXVII.-THE SENT [x.x.xVI.]

MECCA.-50 Verses

In the Name of G.o.d, the Compa.s.sionate, the Merciful

By the train of THE SENT ones,1

And the swift in their swiftness;

By the scatterers who scatter,

And the distinguishers who distinguish;

And by those that give forth the word

To excuse or warn;

Verily that which ye are promised is imminent.

When the stars, therefore, shall be blotted out,

And when the heaven shall be cleft,

And when the mountains shall be scattered in dust,

And when the Apostles shall have a time a.s.signed them;

Until what day shall that time be deferred?

To the day of severing!

And who shall teach thee what the day of severing is?

Woe on that day to those who charged with imposture!

Have we not destroyed them of old?

We will next cause those of later times to follow them.2

Thus deal we with the evil doers.
