The Holy Qur'an

Al Rum: The Day Of Resurrection You Were Not Aware

And on the day when the Hour riseth the guilty will vow that they did tarry,|
But an hour - Thus were they ever deceived.
But those to whom knowledge and faith are given will say:
"The truth is, ye have tarried, by Allah's decree, until the Day of Resurrection.
This is the Day of Resurrection, but ye used not to know."
In that day their excuses will not profit those who did injustice, 
Nor will they be allowed to make amends.
Verily We have coined for mankind in this Qur'an all kinds of similitudes;
And indeed if thou camest unto them with a miracle, 
Those who disbelieve would verily exclaim: Ye are but tricksters!
Thus doth Allah seal the hearts of those who know not.
So have patience! Allah's promise is the very truth, 
And let not those who have no certainty make thee impatient.

surah 30:55-60 Al Rum
(Mohammed Pickthall, The Meaning of the Glorious Quran, U. of Michigan.)

And at the time when the hour shall come,
The guilty shall swear (that) they did not tarry but an hour; 
Thus are they ever turned away.
And those who are given knowledge and faith will say:
"Certainly you tarried according to the ordinance of Allah,
Till the day of Resurrection,
So this is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not know."
But on that day their excuse shall not profit those who were unjust, 
Nor shall they be regarded with goodwill.
And certainly We have set forth for men every kind of example in this Quran;
And if you should bring them a communication, 
Those who disbelieve would certainly say:You are naught but false claimants.
Thus does Allah set a seal on the hearts of those who do not know.
Therefore be patient; surely the promise of Allah is true, 
And let not those who have no certainty hold you in light estimation.

surah 30:55-60 Al Rum
(Muhammed Shakir, The Holy Qur'an, University of Michigan.)

The day Resurrection is set the sinners will swear: 
"We did not tarry more than an hour (and cannot be guilty)."
That is how they have always been deceived.
But those who were given the knowledge and belief will say:
"You have tarried, according to the Book of God, 
As long as the Day of Resurrection,
And this is the Day of Resurrection, but you do not know."
Their excuses will be of no avail to the sinners on that day, 
And they will not be allowed to beg for favour.
We have offered every kind of example here in this Qur'an to men.
Even then if you bring a verse to them, those who disbelieve say: 
"You are nothing but a liar."
That is how God seals the hearts of those who do not know.
So have patience. The promise of God is surely true; 
And let not those who do not believe make you relax (your endeavours).

surah 30:55-60 The Romans (Ar-Rum)
(Ahmed Ali, Islam: The Qur'an, Princeton University Press, 1988.)

But Ye - Ye Were Not Aware!
On the Day that the Hour (of Reckoning) will be established, 
The transgressors will swear that they tarried not but an hour:
Thus were they used to being deluded!
But those endued with knowledge and faith will say: 
"Indeed ye did tarry, within Allah's Decree, to the Day of Resurrection,
And this is the Day of Resurrection: but ye - ye were not aware!"
So on that Day no excuse of theirs will avail the transgressors, 
Nor will they be invited (then) to seek grace (by repentance.)
Verily We have propounded for men in this Qur'an every kind of Parable:
But if thou bring to them any Sign, the Unbelievers are sure to say, 
"Ye do nothing but talk vanities."
Thus does Allah seal up the hearts of those who understand not. 
So patiently persevere: for verily the promise of Allah is true:
Nor let those shake thy firmness, who have (themselves) no certainty of faith.

The Muslims have corrupted the true meaning of the Qur'an, reducing Divine Revelations par excellence into confusing, contradicting, shallow statements of scriptural schizophrenia. Assumed or conjectured truth - built on fabrications, falsehood, misinterpretations and a distortion of Reality - is the work of the Evil One. It leads even the Believers to hell for following those who have falsified the Written Word. Khudda has given each of them eyes to see, ears to hear, tongues to speak, and brains to understand the Qur'an. Why has not a single Muslim till today questioned the satanic interpretation of surah 75? Did Allah in any way deprive them of verifying the Truth? Did He in any way hinder them from seeking the Truth? Did He in any way impede them from embracing the Truth? 

Allah is flawless in His Plan and those who try to cover His 'mistakes' are those who have been led astray.

Surely you are amply warned, Rejecters of His Sure Signs!

Surely you are amply warned, Rejecters of His Revealed Truth!

Surely you are amply warned, Rejecters of His Resurrection!

Surely you are amply warned, Rejecters of His Mercy!

Surely you are amply warned, Rejecters of His Compassion!

Surely you are amply warned, Rejecters of His Love!

So hide in your Idols but you cannot defy His Announcement (An-Naba) of Qiyamah!

So flee wherever you want but there is no refuge from His Call of Resurrection!

Woe to thee, O hypocrites! yea, woe!

Misery to thee, O blind fools!, yea, misery!

Wretchedness to you, O Rejecters of Revelation! yes, wretchedness!

You do deserve your approaching Death and Destruction; Truly you do deserve it! 

Be forewarned, Corrupters of Truth, be forewarned!
