22:1  People, be cautious of your Lord. Indeed, earthquake of the Hour is an awful thing.

22:2  On the day you see it, every nursing mother forgets about what she nurses, and every pregnant female drops her load (and miscarries), and you see the people intoxicated while they are not intoxicated, but God’s punishment is severe.

22:3  And some people argue about God without any knowledge and follow every rebellious devil.

22:4  It is prescribed against him (Satan) that anyone who takes him as a friend, then he misguides him and guides him to punishment of the burning fire.

22:5  People, if you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then (consider that) indeed We created you from dust, then from fertilized egg (zygote), then from a (dangling, clinging, and leach like) blood clot, then from a piece of chewed flesh (embryo) formed and unformed in order to clarify for you (that We are capable of everything). And We settle what We want in the wombs for a limited period, then We bring you out as a baby, then you reach your full maturity (and strength), and some of you die and some of you are returned to the lowest part of life, so that they do not know anything after knowing (and they forget what they knew). And you see the earth barren (and lifeless), then when We send down the rain on it, it revives and grows and produces all kinds of beautiful (plants).

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

22:7  And the Hour (Resurrection) is coming, there is no doubt about it, and God raises those in the graves.

22:8  And some people argue about God without any knowledge or any guidance or any enlightening book.

22:9  Twisting his neck (being arrogant) to misguide (people) away from God’s way. He will have humiliation in this world, and We will make him taste punishment of the burning on the Resurrection Day.

22:10  (He will be told:) “This is for what your hands have sent ahead, and God is not unjust to His servants.”

22:11  And some people serve God on edge (doubtfully), so if any good happens to him, he is content with it, and if misfortune happens to him, he turns on his face (returns to his old ways) losing the world and the Hereafter. That is the clear loss.

22:12  He calls on other than God, something (or someone) that does not harm him and does not benefit him. That is the major error.

22:13  He calls on someone whose harm is closer (and more likely) than his benefit, certainly a miserable supporter (and friend) and certainly a miserable companion.

22:14  Indeed, God admits those who believe and do good to gardens which rivers flow through them. Indeed, God does what He wants.

22:15  If anyone thinks that God never helps him (Muhammad) in this world and the Hereafter, then let him stretch a rope to the ceiling (and hang himself with it), then let him cut it off and see whether his plan gets rid of what angers him.

22:16  And that is how We sent it down as clear signs, and that God guides anyone He wants.

22:17  Indeed, God judges between those who believe (in Quran), and the Jews and the Sabians and the Christians and the Zoroastrians, and those who associated (partners with God) on the Resurrection Day. Indeed, God is witness over everything.

22:18  Do you not see that it is God that everyone in the skies and everyone on the earth, and the sun and the moon and the stars, and the mountains and the trees, and the animals and many people humble themselves before Him? And many deserve the punishment, and whomever God humiliates then he has no one to honor him. Indeed, God does what He wants.

22:19  These are two opposing parties (believers and disbelievers) who argue about their Lord. So, clothes of fire are cut for those who disbelieve, and boiling water will be poured over their heads.

22:20  Everything in their stomachs and their skins are melted with it,

22:21  and clubs of iron are for them.

22:22  Whenever they want to get out of there because of grief (and misery), they are returned into it, and (are told:) “Taste the burning punishment.”

22:23  Indeed, God admits those who believe and do good into the gardens that rivers flow through them, and they will be decorated with bracelets of gold and pearls in there, and their clothes will be of silk in there.

22:24  And they will be guided to the good words (praising God), and they will be guided to the path of the praiseworthy (paradise).

22:25  Indeed, those who disbelieve and obstruct God's way and the Sacred Mosque, which We made it equal for the people whether (those who are) the resident in it or the visitors, and anyone who wants to deviate in there with wrongdoing, We make them taste from a painful punishment.

22:26  And (remember) when We put up Abraham at the site of the house (saying:) “Do not associate anything (as partner) with Me, and cleanse My house for those who go around (it) and those who stand (in prayer) and those who bow down humbly.”

22:27  And announce the Hajj (pilgrimage) to people, they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel (or any other ride), coming from every distant area,

22:28  so that they witness the benefits (provided) for them, and to mention God’s name on specified days over what He provided for them from the livestock animals, so eat from them and feed the suffering poor.

22:29  Then they should do away with their dirtiness (by cleansing themselves) and fulfill their pledges and go around the ancient house (Ka’aba).

22:30  That is (the Hajj pilgrimage), and whoever honors God’s requirements (and restrictions), then it is better for him in his Lord's view. And the livestock are made lawful for you except what is read to you. So, avoid the filth of the idols, and avoid false words (and lies),

22:31  being monotheist for God, not associating (any partner) with Him. Whoever associates (any partner) with God, then it is as if he falls from the sky and the birds snatch him, or the wind blows him to a remote place.

22:32  That is how it is, and whoever honors God’s rituals then indeed it is from self control of the hearts.

22:33  There are benefits in that (the livestock) for you for a limited period then their lawful place (of sacrifice) is at the ancient house (Ka’aba).

22:34  And for every community (of faith) We made a ritual (of sacrifice) so that they mention God’s name over what He provided them from the livestock animals. Your god is the One god, so submit to Him and give good news to those who humble themselves,

22:35  those whose hearts are scared when God is mentioned, and they are patient about what happens to them, and they perform mandatory prayer, and they spend (in God's way) from what We have provided for them.

22:36  And We made the fat camel/cow as part of God's rituals (of pilgrimage) for you. There is goodness in them for you, so mention God’s name on them as they are lined up, then when they fall (on the ground) on their sides, eat from them and feed the poor and the beggar. That is how We put them under your control (and in your service), so you may be thankful.

22:37  Their meat and their blood would never reach God, but your self control reaches Him. That is how He put them under your control (and in your service) so that you magnify God because He guided you, and give good news to the good doers.

22:38  Indeed, God defends those who believe. Indeed, God does not like any ungrateful traitor.

22:39  (Fighting) is permitted for those who are attacked (and war is waged against them), because they are wronged, and God is certainly able to help them (to victory),

22:40  those who have been unjustly driven out of their homes only because they said: “Our Lord is God.” If God had not repelled some people by others, certainly (many) monasteries, churches, synagogues and mosques in which God’s name is mentioned often, would have been demolished. And God shall help anyone who helps Him. Indeed, God is strong and powerful.

22:41  (They are) those who, if We make them powerful on the earth, perform mandatory prayer and give to mandatory charity and instruct to the acceptable (and right) and prohibit from the unacceptable (and wrong). And outcome of all affairs belongs to God.

22:42  And if they deny you, people of Noah and Aad and Thamud also denied (their prophets) before them,

22:43  and (so did) people of Abraham and people of Lot,

22:44  and inhabitants of Midian (people of Shu'aib/Jethro), and Moses was also denied, so I gave the disbelievers a break then I took them, so how was My rejection (and punishment)?

22:45  And how many towns did We destroy while it was wrongdoer, so it (was ruined and) fell on its roofs and (having) abandoned wells and towering castles.

22:46  Have they not traveled in the land, so that they have hearts to understand with it or ears to hear with it (to understand and hear the truth)? Indeed, the eyes are not blind, but the hearts which are in the chests are blind.

22:47  They ask you to hurry up with the punishment, while God never breaks His promise. And indeed, a day with your Lord is like a thousand years of what you count.

22:48  And how many towns did I give it a break while it was wrongdoer? Then I took it (destroyed it), and the final return is to Me.

22:49  Say: “People, I am only a clear warner for you.

22:50  So those who believe and do good, they have forgiveness and an honorable provision,

22:51  and those who try to disable (and to discredit) Our signs, they are inhabitants of the hellfire.”

22:52  And We did not send any messenger or prophet before you, unless when he wished (something) Satan threw (temptation) in his wish, but God eliminates anything that Satan throws, then God affirms His signs. God is knowledgeable and wise.

22:53  So that He makes whatever Satan throws as a test for those who have a disease in their hearts and their hearts are hardened, and indeed the wrongdoers are in extreme opposition (to the truth).

22:54  And so that those who were given knowledge know that it (Quran) is the truth from your Lord, so they believe in it and their hearts are humbled (and compliant) before it. And God certainly guides those who believe to a straight path.

22:55  Those who disbelieve do not stop to be in doubt about it until the Hour suddenly comes to them or the punishment of a barren (and hopeless) day comes to them.

22:56  On that day, the rule belongs to God, He judges between them, then those who believed and did good will be in gardens of delight.

22:57  And those who disbelieved and denied Our signs, then they will have a humiliating punishment.

22:58  And those who migrated in God's way, then they were killed or died, God shall provide them with a good provision, and indeed God is the best of providers.

22:59  He shall admit them to a place that they would be pleased with it. Indeed, God is knowledgeable and patient.

22:60  That is how it is. Whoever punishes the same as what he was made to suffer, then if he is wronged (again), God shall help him. Indeed, God is pardoning and forgiving.

22:61  That is because God makes the night pass through the day and makes the day pass through the night, and that God hears and sees all.

22:62  That is because God is the truth and whatever they call on besides Him, it is the falsehood, and God is the superior, the great.

22:63  Do you not see that God sends down the rain from the sky then the earth becomes green? God is nice and well-informed.

22:64  Everything in the skies and on the earth belongs to Him, and indeed God is the rich (without need) and the praiseworthy.

22:65  Have you not considered that God brought what is on the earth under your control (and in your service), and the ships sail through the sea by His command? And He keeps the sky from falling on the earth except by His permission. God is certainly gentle and merciful to the people.

22:66  And He is the One Who gives you life, then makes you die then brings you back to life. Indeed, the human being is ungrateful.

22:67  For every community (of faith) We made ritual to perform it, so they should not dispute with you about the matter (of rituals). And invite (people) to your Lord, indeed you are on the right guidance.

22:68  And if they argue with you, then say: “God knows best what you do.”

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

22:70  Do you not know that God knows whatever is in the skies and the earth? Indeed that is (recorded) in a book, indeed that is easy for God.

22:71  And they serve besides God something that He did not send down a reason for it and they do not have any knowledge of it. There is no helper for the wrongdoers.

22:72  And when Our clear signs are read to them, you notice the denial on the faces of those who disbelieve, they are about to assault those who read them Our signs. Say: “Should I tell you about worse than this? The fire that God promised it to those who disbelieve, and it is the bad destination.”

22:73  People, an example was given, so listen to it: “Indeed those you call on besides God never create a fly even if they get together for it, and if the fly takes anything away from them, they cannot get it back from it. The seeker and the sought are weak.”

22:74  They do not value God His true worth. Indeed, God is strong and powerful.

22:75  God chooses messengers from the angels and from the people. Indeed, God hears all and sees all.

22:76  He knows what is in front of them and what is behind them, and all affairs are returned to God.

22:77  You who believe, bow down and be humble (and prostrate) and serve your Lord and do good, so that you may succeed.

22:78  And try hard in God's way, a trying that He deserves. He chose you, and He did not impose any difficulty on you in the way of life (religion). This is the faith of your father Abraham. He named you Muslims (the submitted ones) in the past and in this, so that the messenger will be a witness over you, and you will be witnesses over the people, so perform mandatory prayer and give to mandatory charity and hold on to God, He is your protector, what an excellent protector and excellent helper.
