SURAH AL- HAJJ
The Pilgrimage
(Madnie, Surah # 22, Verses 78 )
DAY OF JUDGMENT
22:1 O humanity! Fear your Lord, for the ˹violent˺ quaking at the Hour is surely a terrible thing.
22:2 When that hour comes, every breast-feeding mother will drop her baby out of fear and every pregnant woman will deliver her burden ˹prematurely˺. And you will see people ˹as if they were˺ drunk, though they will not be drunk; but the torment of Allah is ˹terribly˺ severe.
22:3˹Still˺ there are some who dispute about Allah without knowledge, and follow every rebellious devil.
22:4 For him (the devil) it is decreed that whosoever follows him, he will mislead him, and will drive him to the torment of the Fire.
22:5 O humanity! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then ˹know that˺ We did create you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then ˹developed you into˺ a clinging clot ˹of blood˺, then a lump of flesh some fully formed or unformed(miscarriage) This is how We show you that resurrection is not more difficult for Us than your creation.We cause whatever We want to stay in the womb for an appointed time, We then take you out of the womb as a baby, so that you may grow up and receive strength. Some of you may then die and others may grow to a very old age and lose your memory.And you see the earth barren, but when We send down water (rain) on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth).
22:6 That is because Allah ˹alone˺ is the Truth, He ˹alone˺ gives life to the dead, and He ˹alone˺ is Most Capable of everything.
22:7 And certainly the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it. And Allah will surely resurrect those in the graves.
22:8 ˹Still˺ there are some who dispute about Allah without knowledge, guidance, or an enlightening scripture
22:9 They turn away (from the Truth) to lead people away from the path of God. Their share in this world will be disgrace and on the Day of Judgment a burning torment.
22:10"That is for what your hands have put forth and because Allah is not ever unjust to [His] slaves."
ONE WHO IS NOT SUBMISSIVE TO ALLAH
22:11 And among mankind is he who worships Allah as it were, upon the very edge (i.e. in doubt); if good befalls him, he is content therewith; but if a trial befalls him, he turns back on his face (i.e. reverts back to disbelief after embracing Islam). He loses both this world and the Hereafter. That is the evident loss.
22:12They call besides Allah what can neither harm nor benefit them. That is ˹truly˺ the farthest one can stray.
22:13 Their worship of such things, in which there is no hope for any benefit, can only harm them. How terrible is such a guardian and companion!
22:14 Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and do good into Gardens, under which rivers flow. Surely Allah does what He wills.
22:15Whoever thinks that Allah will not help His Prophet in this world and the Hereafter, let them stretch out a rope to the ceiling and strangle themselves, then let them see will his effort remove that which enrages [him]?
22:16 And so We revealed this ˹Quran˺ as clear verses. And Allah certainly guides whoever He wills.
22:17 Verily, those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Sabians, and the Christians, and the Magians, and those who worship others besides Allah, truly, Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Verily! Allah is Witness over all things.
ALL PROSTRATE TO ALLAH IN THE HEAVEN AND IN THE EARTH
22:18 Do you not see that to Allah bow down ˹in submission˺ all those in the heavens and all those on the earth, as well as the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, and ˹all˺ living beings, as well as many humans, while many are deserving of punishment. And whoever Allah disgraces, none can honor. Surely Allah does what He wills.
TASTE THE TORMENT
22:19 These two opponents (believers and disbelievers) dispute with each other about their Lord; then as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them, boiling water will be poured down over their heads.
22:20It will melt their skins and all that is in their bellies.
22:21 And for them are hooked rods of iron (to punish them).
22:22 Whenever they try to escape from Hell—out of anguish—they will be forced back into it, ˹and will be told,˺ “Taste the torment of burning!”
22:23˹But˺ Allah will surely admit those who believe and do good into Gardens, under which rivers flow, where they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their clothing will be silk,
22:24 And they are guided (in this world) unto goodly speech (i.e. La ilaha ill-Allah) and they are guided to the Path of Him, Who is Worthy of all praises.
22:25 Indeed, those who persist in disbelief and hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah and from the Sacred Mosque—which We have appointed for all people, residents and visitors alike—along with whoever intends to deviate by doing wrong in it, We will cause them to taste a painful punishment.
HAJJ
22:26 And ˹remember˺ when We assigned to Abraham the site of the House, ˹saying,˺ “Do not associate anything with Me ˹in worship˺ and purify My House for those who circle ˹the Ka’bah˺, stand ˹in prayer˺, and bow and prostrate themselves.
22:27 Call ˹all˺ people to the pilgrimage. They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel from every distant path,
22:28 So they may obtain the benefits ˹in store˺ for them, and pronounce the Name of Allah on appointed days over the sacrificial animals He has provided for them. So eat from their meat and feed the desperately poor.
22:29 Then let them groom themselves, fulfill their vows, and circle the Ancient House.”
22:30 That is so. And whoever honors the rituals of Allah, it is best for them in the sight of their Lord. The ˹meat of˺ cattle has been made lawful for you, except what has ˹already˺ been recited to you. So shun the impurity of idolatry, and shun words of falsehood.
22:31Be upright ˹in devotion˺ to Allah, associating none with Him ˹in worship˺. For whoever associates ˹others˺ with Allah is like someone who has fallen from the sky and is either snatched away by birds or swept by the wind to a remote place.
22:32 That is so. And whoever honors the symbols of Allah, it is certainly out of the piety of the heart.
22:33 You may benefit from sacrificial animals for an appointed term, then their place of sacrifice is at the Ancient House.
SAY NAME OF ALLAH WHEN YOU SACRIFICE THE ANIMAL
22:34 For every community We appointed a rite of sacrifice so that they may pronounce the Name of Allah over the sacrificial animals He has provided for them. For your God is only One God, so submit yourselves to Him ˹alone˺. And give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to the humble:
22:35 Those whose hearts tremble at the remembrance of Allah, who patiently endure whatever may befall them, and who establish prayer and donate from what We have provided for them.
22:36 We have made sacrificial camels ˹and cattle˺ among the symbols of Allah, in which there is ˹much˺ good for you. So pronounce the Name of Allah over them when they are lined up ˹for sacrifice˺. Once they have fallen ˹lifeless˺ on their sides, you may eat from their meat, and feed the needy—those who do not beg, and those who do. In this way We have subjected these ˹animals˺ to you so that you may be grateful.
PIETY REACHES ALLAH WHEN YOU SACRIFICE
22:37 Neither their meat nor blood reaches Allah. Rather, it is your piety that reaches Him. This is how He has subjected them to you so that you may proclaim the greatness of Allah for what He has guided you to, and give good news to the good-doers.
22:38Indeed, Allah defends those who believe. Surely Allah does not like whoever is deceitful, ungrateful.
22:39 Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory.
22:40˹They are˺ those who have been expelled from their homes for no reason other than proclaiming: “Our Lord is Allah.” Had Allah not repelled ˹the aggression of˺ some people by means of others, destruction would have surely claimed monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which Allah’s Name is often mentioned. Allah will certainly help those who stand up for Him. Allah is truly All-Powerful, Almighty.
22:41[And they are] those who, if We give them authority in the land, establish prayer and give zakāh and enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. And to Allah belongs the outcome of [all] matters.
DISBELIEVERS ASK TO HASTEN THE TORMENT
22:42 If they deny you ˹O Prophet˺, so did the people of Noah before them, as well as ˹the tribes of˺ ’Ȃd and Thamûd,
22:43 the people of Abraham, the people of Lot,
22:44 and the residents of Midian. And Moses was denied ˹too˺. But I delayed ˹the fate of˺ the disbelievers ˹until their appointed time˺ then seized them. And how severe was My response!
22:45 Many are the societies We have destroyed for persisting in wrongdoing, leaving them in total ruin. ˹Many are˺ also the abandoned wells and lofty palaces!
22:46 Have they not traveled throughout the land so their hearts may reason, and their ears may listen? Indeed, it is not the eyes that are blind, but it is the hearts in the chests that grow blind.
22:47 They challenge you ˹O Prophet˺ to hasten the torment. And Allah will never fail in His promise. But a day with your Lord is indeed like a thousand years by your counting.
22:48 Many are the societies whose end We delayed while they did wrong, then seized them. And to Me is the final return.
22:49 Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O humanity! I am only sent to you with a clear warning.
22:50 So those who believe and do good will have forgiveness and an honorable provision.
22:51 But those who strive to discredit Our revelations, they will be the residents of the Hellfire.”
22:52 Whenever We sent a messenger or a prophet before you ˹O Prophet˺ and he recited ˹Our revelations˺, Shaitan would influence ˹people’s understanding of˺ his recitation. But ˹eventually˺ Allah would eliminate Shaitan’s influence. Then Allah would ˹firmly˺ establish His revelations. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
22:53 All that so He may make Shaitan’s influence a trial for those ˹hypocrites˺ whose hearts are sick and those ˹disbelievers˺ whose hearts are hardened. Surely the wrongdoers are totally engrossed in opposition.
22:54˹This is˺ also so that those gifted with knowledge would know that this ˹revelation˺ is the truth from your Lord, so they have faith in it, and so their hearts would submit humbly to it. And Allah surely guides the believers to the Straight Path.
22:55 Yet the disbelievers will persist in doubt about this ˹revelation˺ until the Hour takes them by surprise, or the torment of a terminating1 Day comes to them.
22:56 All authority on that Day is for Allah ˹alone˺.1 He will judge between them. So those who believe and do good will be in the Gardens of Bliss.
22:57 But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations, it is they who will suffer a humiliating punishment.
22:58As for those who emigrate in the cause of Allah and then are martyred or die, Allah will indeed grant them a good provision. Surely Allah is the Best Provider.
22:59 He will certainly admit them into a place they will be pleased with. For Allah is truly All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.
22:60That [is so]. And whoever responds [to injustice] with the equivalent of that with which he was harmed and then is tyrannized - Allah will surely aid him. Indeed, Allah is Pardoning and Forgiving.
22:61 That is because Allah causes the night to merge into the day, and the day into the night. Indeed, Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
22:62 That is because Allah ˹alone˺ is the Truth and what they invoke besides Him is falsehood, and Allah ˹alone˺ is truly the Most High, All-Great.
22:63 Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky, then the earth becomes green? Surely Allah is Most Subtle, All-Aware.
22:64To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Allah ˹alone˺ is truly the Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.
22:65 Do you not see that Allah has subjected to you1 whatever is in the earth as well as the ships ˹that˺ sail through the sea by His command? He keeps the sky from falling down on the earth except by His permission. Surely Allah is Ever Gracious and Most Merciful to humanity.
22:66 And He is the One Who gave you life, then will cause you to die, and then will bring you back to life. ˹But˺ surely humankind is ever ungrateful.
22:67 For every community We appointed a code (SAME MESSAGE FROM ALL MESSENGERS) of life to follow. So do not let them dispute with you ˹O Prophet˺ in this matter. And invite ˹all˺ to your Lord, for you are truly on the Right Guidance.
22:68 But if they argue with you, then say, “Allah knows best what you do.”
22:69 Allah will judge between you ˹all˺ on Judgment Day regarding your differences.
22:70 Do you not know that Allah ˹fully˺ knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth? Surely it is all ˹written˺ in a Record. That is certainly easy for Allah.
22:71 Yet they worship besides Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and of which they have no knowledge. The wrongdoers will have no helper.
22:72 Whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, you ˹O Prophet˺ recognize rage on the faces of the disbelievers, as if they are going to snap at those who recite Our revelations to them. Say, “Shall I inform you of something far more enraging than that? ˹It is˺ the Fire with which Allah has threatened those who disbelieve. What an evil destination!”
22:73 O humanity! A lesson is set forth, so listen to it ˹carefully˺: those ˹idols˺ you invoke besides Allah can never create ˹so much as˺ a fly, even if they ˹all˺ were to come together for that. And if a fly were to snatch anything away from them, they cannot ˹even˺ retrieve it from the fly. How powerless are those who invoke and those invoked!
22:74 They have not shown Allah the reverence He deserves. Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty.
22:75 Allah selects messengers from both angels and people, for Allah is truly All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
22:76 He knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them. And to Allah ˹all˺ matters will be returned ˹for judgment˺.
22:77 O believers! Bow down, prostrate yourselves, worship your Lord, and do ˹what is˺ good so that you may be successful.
MUSLIMS-THE ONE WHO SUBMITS
22:78 Strive for ˹the cause of˺ Allah in the way He deserves, for ˹it is˺ He ˹Who˺ has chosen you, and laid upon you no hardship in the religion—the way of your forefather Ibrahim. ˹It is Allah˺ Who named you ‘the ones who submit’ ˹in the˺ earlier ˹Scriptures˺ and in this ˹Quran˺, so that the Messenger may be a witness over you, and that you may be witnesses over humanity. So establish prayer, and give zakat, and hold fast to Allah. He ˹alone˺ is your Guardian. What an excellent Guardian, and what an excellent Helper!
