22:1O people, be conscious of your Lord. The quaking of the Hour is a tremendous thing.

22:5O people! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection—We created you from dust, then from a small drop, then from a clinging clot, then from a lump of flesh, partly developed and partly undeveloped. In order to clarify things for you. And We settle in the wombs whatever We will for a designated term, and then We bring you out as infants, until you reach your full strength. And some of you will pass away, and some of you will be returned to the vilest age, so that he may not know, after having known. And you see the earth still; but when We send down water on it, it vibrates, and swells, and grows all kinds of lovely pairs.

22:6That is because God is the truth, and because He gives life to the dead, and because He is Capable of everything.

22:7And because the Hour is coming—there is no doubt about it—and because God will resurrect those in the graves.

22:10That is for what your hands have advanced, and because God is not unjust to the servants.

22:12He invokes, instead of God, what can neither harm him nor benefit him. That is the far straying.

22:13He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit. What a miserable master. What a miserable companion.

22:14God will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds into Gardens beneath which rivers flow. God does whatever He wills.

22:17Those who believe, and those who are Jewish, and the Sabeans, and the Christians, and the Zoroastrians, and the Polytheists—God will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. God is witness to all things.

22:19Here are two adversaries feuding regarding their Lord. As for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be tailored for them, and scalding water will be poured over their heads.

22:22Whenever they try to escape the gloom, they will be driven back to it: “Taste the suffering of burning.”

22:23But God will admit those who believe and do good deeds into Gardens beneath which rivers flow. They will be decorated therein with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments therein will be of silk.

22:25As for those who disbelieve and repel from God’s path and from the Sacred Mosque—which We have designated for all mankind equally, whether residing therein or passing through—and seek to commit sacrilege therein—We will make him taste of a painful punishment.

22:28That they may witness the benefits for themselves, and celebrate the name of God during the appointed days, for providing them with the animal livestock. So eat from it, and feed the unfortunate poor.

22:31Being true to God, without associating anything with Him. Whoever associates anything with God—it is as though he has fallen from the sky, and is snatched by the birds, or is swept away by the wind to a distant abyss.

22:33In them are benefits for you until a certain time. Then their place is by the Ancient House.

22:35Those whose hearts tremble when God is mentioned, and those who endure what has befallen them, and those who perform the prayer and spend from what We have provided for them.

22:36We have made the animal offerings emblems of God for you. In them is goodness for you. So pronounce God’s name upon them as they line up. Then, when they have fallen on their sides, eat of them and feed the contented and the beggar. Thus We have subjected them to you, that you may be thankful.

22:38God defends those who believe. God does not love any ungrateful traitor.

22:40Those who were unjustly evicted from their homes, merely for saying, “Our Lord is God.” Were it not that God repels people by means of others: monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques—where the name of God is mentioned much—would have been demolished. God supports whoever supports Him. God is Strong and Mighty.

22:41Those who, when We empower them in the land, observe the prayer, and give regular charity, and command what is right, and forbid what is wrong. To God belongs the outcome of events.

22:42If they deny you—before them the people of Noah, and Aad, and Thamood also denied.

22:44And the inhabitants of Median. And Moses was denied. Then I reprieved those who disbelieved, but then I seized them. So how was My rejection?

22:50Those who believe and work righteousness—for them is forgiveness and a generous provision.

22:52We never sent a messenger before you, or a prophet, but when he had a desire Satan interfered in his wishes. But God nullifies what Satan interjects, and God affirms His revelations. God is Omniscient and Wise.

22:54And so that those endowed with knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Lord, and so believe in it, and their hearts soften to it. God guides those who believe to a straight path.

22:55Those who disbelieve will continue to be hesitant about it, until the Hour comes upon them suddenly, or there comes to them the torment of a desolate Day.

22:56Sovereignty on that Day belongs to God; He will judge between them. Those who believe and do good deeds will be in the Gardens of Bliss.

22:57But those who disbelieve and reject Our revelations—these will have a humiliating punishment.

22:58Those who emigrate in God’s cause, then get killed, or die, God will provide them with fine provisions. God is the Best of Providers.

22:61That is because God merges the night into the day, and He merges the day into the night, and because God is Hearing and Seeing.

22:62That is because God is the Reality, and what they invoke besides Him is vanity, and because God is the Sublime, the Grand.

22:63Do you not see that God sends down water from the sky, and the land becomes green? God is Kind and Aware.

22:64To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. God is the Rich, the Praised.

22:66And it is He who gives you life, then makes you die, then revives you. The human being is unappreciative.

22:69God will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection regarding what you disagree about.

22:71Yet they worship, besides God, things for which He sent down no warrant, and what they have no knowledge of. There is no savior for the transgressors.

22:72And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, you will recognize disgust on the faces of those who disbelieve. They nearly assault those who recite to them Our Verses. Say, “Shall I inform you of something worse than that? The Fire! God has promised it to those who disbelieve. And what a wretched outcome!”

22:73O people! A parable is presented, so listen to it: Those you invoke besides God will never create a fly, even if they banded together for that purpose. And if the fly steals anything from them, they cannot recover it from it. Weak are the pursuer and the pursued.

22:74They do not value God as He should be valued. God is Strong and Powerful.

22:76He knows what is before them, and what is behind them. To God all matters are referred.

22:77O you who believe! Kneel, and prostrate, and worship your Lord, and do good deeds, so that you may succeed.

22:78And strive for God, with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you, and has not burdened you in religion—the faith of your father Abraham. It is he who named you Muslims before, and in this. So that the Messenger may be a witness over you, and you may be witnesses over the people. So pray regularly, and give regular charity, and cleave to God. He is your Protector. What an excellent Protector, and what an excellent Helper.
