27. And to Allah belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and on the day when the Hour of Doomsday arrives, the followers of falsehood will be lost.
28. And you will see each nation kneeling,42each nation summoned to its record. (It will be said): This day you are requited for what you used to do.
29. This Record of Ours speaks with truth against you,43Verily We have caused what you did to be recorded.44
30. Then, those who believed and performed good acts, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is the evident triumph.45
31. And as for those who disbelieved (will be told:) Were not Our revelations recited to you? But you were scornful and became a guilty people.
32. And when it was said: “Verily, Allah’s promise is the truth and there is no doubt of the coming of the Hour of the Doomsday,” you said:“We know nothing of the Hour of Doomsday, it is but a conjecture, nor are we convinced.”46
33. And the evil of what they did will manifest 47itself to them and what they used to deride will encompass them.48
34. And they will be told: “We will forget you 49as you yourselves forgot that you would meet this day. Hell will be your home and none will help you.
35. “That is because you scoffed at Allah’s revelations and were deceived by your earthly life.50“On that day there will be no way out for them, nor will they be given a chance to make amends.51
36. Then praise be to Allah,52Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, the Lord of the Worlds.
37. To Him belongs majesty in the heavens and the earth, as He is mighty, Wise.
42. That is: On the Day of Judgment every group of people will appear before Allah in such a condition that everyone of them will be crouching on knees. Crouching is a humiliating position, and on that day even the proudest of men will be on his knees. Everyone will be helpless to be in this condition and collectively even those nations which were very proud will be crouching before God. In this ayah the glimpse of the Day of Judgment that has been shown is sufficient to break the pride and vanity of the proudest nations, provided it they are prepared to study it with open mind.
43. This will be the tape record of every body’s acts and everybody will hear his own record. The statement of the Quran that this record of mankind will speak should not astound anyone, because man has already invented the tape-recorder. With the modern discoveries and inventions the truth of Quran is becoming more and more clear.
44. That is: Our angels are taking that down in writing.
45. What triumph can be more satisfying than a man’s being admitted in Allah’s mercy permanently?
46. There are people who are total deniers of Doomsday, and there are also many who are in doubt about the occurrence of the Doomsday, and they are not prepared to believe that one day the Doomsday will certainly occur. Both these kind of people are disbelievers and guilty, because both ignore the Hereafter and lead their life as such, and therefore, the end of both will be the same.
47. That day they will realise that what a sad and horrible mistake was committed by them by denying the occurrence of the Hereafter, when they will see the results of their acts.
48. That is: The punishment of the Hell about which they used to cut jokes in the world.
49. You are being ignored because you do not deserve to be shown mercy.
50. Seeing the glitter of the world man gets so much attracted and attached to the worldly life that he is not prepared to think about any life after the life of this world. He interests himself only in gathering the utmost benefit in this world. And as for the life after death, if at all it occurs, that will be seen. This is a great deception, but even today most people are deceived by such a thought. And it is Quran that wants to take them out of this deception. If only they could study it with seriousness!
51. The place for making amends or repentance is the world and not the Hereafter. After failing in the test in the world there is no other chance for making amends or preparing for another test.
52. These are the last ayah of the Surah which end on the praises of Allah and they give us a feeling that for the wise things that have been disclosed in the Surah for them Allah should be praised and thanked.
