إبراهيم

Our Lord! Forgive me, my parents, and the believers on the Day when the judgment will come to pass.”

Do not think ˹O Prophet˺ that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them until a Day when ˹their˺ eyes will stare in horror—

rushing forth, heads raised, never blinking, hearts void.

And warn the people of the Day when the punishment will overtake ˹the wicked among˺ them, and the wrongdoers will cry, “Our Lord! Delay us for a little while. We will respond to Your call and follow the messengers!” ˹It will be said,˺ “Did you not swear before that you would never be removed ˹to the next life˺?”

You passed by the ruins of those ˹destroyed peoples˺ who had wronged themselves.¹ It was made clear to you how We dealt with them, and We gave you ˹many˺ examples.

They devised every plot, which was fully known to Allah, but their plotting was not enough to ˹even˺ overpower mountains ˹let alone Allah˺.

So do not think ˹O Prophet˺ that Allah will fail to keep His promise to His messengers. Allah is indeed Almighty, capable of punishment.

˹Watch for˺ the Day ˹when˺ the earth will be changed into a different earth and the heavens as well, and all will appear before Allah—the One, the Supreme.

On that Day you will see the wicked bound together in chains,

with garments of tar, and their faces covered with flames.

As such, Allah will reward every soul for what it has committed. Surely Allah is swift in reckoning.

This ˹Quran˺ is a ˹sufficient˺ message for humanity so that they may take it as a warning and know that there is only One God, and so that people of reason may be mindful.
