The Rocky Tract

Alif-Lâm-Râ. These are Verses of the Book and a clear Qur’ân.

Most likely; those who disbelieve will wish that ‘they had been Muslims (submitters to Allah).

Leave them! They may eat, enjoy themselves and hope entices them (keeps them busy). But soon they will come to know!

And never did We destroy a country but there was a known Book for it.

No nation can advance its end nor delay it.

And they said: “O you to whom the Zikir (Qoran) has been sent down! You are most surely insane”.

Why you not bring to us the angels if you are of the truthful ones?

We do not send the angels down except with the truth (deservedly). Then they would not be given time either.

Surely, We sent down the Zikir (the Qur’ân) and We are surely its Guardian (as well).

And certainly We sent (Messengers) before you among the previous communities.

There never came a Messenger to them except they mocked at them.

Thus do We make it (mocking) to enter into the hearts of the guilty.

Even though the customs of the former people has already passed, they do not believe in him (Messenger),

and even if We open to them a gateway from the heaven so that they ascend into it.

They would certainly say: “Only our eyes have been covered over (dazzled so we cannot see the reality), rather, we are an enchanted people”.

And I swear that We have placed constellations in the sky and beautified it for the beholders.

And We have guarded it from every stoned (outcast) Satan.

And if someone (from the devils) stealthily overhear (tried to steal knowledge about the Unseen), then he was pursued by a clear spark of scorching fire.

And the earth; We have spread it out, and made in it big mountains and caused to grow in it of every well-proportioned vegetation.

And We have made in it means of subsistence for you and for those for whom you do not feed.

And there is not a thing but with Us are the treasures of it. We do send it down but in a known destiny (in a known foreordained measure).

And We sent the winds loaded (with water). So, We sent down water from the sky, and watered you with it. And it is not you who are the creators of its treasures (the seas, the rivers, the underground and ground spring waters, the lakes).

And certainly, We, only We give life. And We cause death. And We are the Inheritors.

And certainly We know those who have gone before you. And We certainly know those who will come after you as well.

And surely your Lord, He gathers them together (in His presence). Surely, He is All-Wise, All-Knowing.

I swear that We created human from moist soil (Hamein Mesnûn Salsâlin, that has undergone an organic and inorganic transformation and has been given a standard shape of a human being).

And Jann (the father of demons); We created him even before from a sultry fire (from energy).

And your Lord said to the angels: "Surely I am going to create human from moist soil (Hamein Mesnûn Salsâlin, which has been given the form of a standard man and which has undergone organic and inorganic changes)!

So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My Spirit, immediately fall down bowing down to him!”

So the angels bowed down altogether,

except Iblîs (Satan). (He) refused to be with the ones who bowed down.

Allah said: “O Iblîs (Satan)! What is your reason for not being with the ones who bowed down?”

He (Iblis) said: "I will not bow down to a human whom You created from moist soil (from Hamein Mesnûn Salsâlin, that has undergone an organic and inorganic transformation and has been given a standard shape of a human being."

(Allah) said: “Get out of there (out of paradise) right away! Surely you are banished for this reason.

And surely on you is the Curse until the Day of Religion (the Day of Recompense)”.

(Iblîs) said: “My Lord! Then respite me till a Day when they will be resurrected.”

(Allah) said: “Surely you are of the ones who respite is given

until the well-known Day”.

(Satan) said: “My Lord! Because you exacerbated me, I will certainly make (exacerbation) fair-seeming to them on earth and I will certainly exacerbate them,

except Your servants from among them who are utterly pure (muhlises who are holders of the post of Ikhlas)”.

Allah said: “This is the Path directed towards Me (that leads to Me).

Certainly, you do have no authority over My servants, except those who obeyed on you of those whom you perverted”.

And surely Hell is the promised place of them all.

It (Hell) has seven gates. For every gate there shall be a separate party of them.

Surely the owners of takwa (spiritual armor) will be in the midst of Gardens and water-springs.

Enter there (Paradise) with greetings, being secure.

And We rooted out whatever of grudge is in their breasts. They are on thrones, face to face being brothers.

No fatigue shall touch them there. And they shall not be ever expelled from it.

Inform My servants! Truly, I am the Oft-Forgiving (Replacing sins with good), the Most Merciful (the One who sends down the Light of Mercy),

and that My torment is indeed a painful torment.

And inform them of the guests of Abraham.

When they entered upon him, they said: “Peace (be upon you)”. (Abraham) said: “Surely we feel afraid of you.”

(The guests) said: “(You) do not be afraid! Surely we give you the glad tidings of a a wise son.”

He said: “Do you give me good news when old age has come upon me? What then do you give me good news of?”

They said: “We gave you glad tidings with truth. Therefore do not be of the despairing.”

He said: “And who despairs of the Mercy of his Lord except those who are in Darkness?”

He said: “What will you speak about next, o, Messengers?”

They said: “Surely We have been sent to a guilty people,

except the family of Lot. We will most surely save them all,

except his wife. Because We have decreed that she shall be of those who remain behind (destroyed)”.

So when the sent messengers came to the family of Lot,

he (Lot) said: “Surely you are an unknown (foreign) people.”

They said: “Nay, we have come to you with what they have been doubtful.

And we have brought to you the truth, and we are most surely truthful.

Right away go forth with your family in a part of the night! Follow their yourself, and let not anyone of you turn around to look back. And go on to where you are commanded”.

And We made known this decree to him, that the root of them would be cut off in the early morning (they would be destroyed).

And the inhabitants of the city came giving good news to each other.

Be owners takwa (spiritual armor) towards Allah and beware (to be afraid), and do not degrade me”.

They said: “Did we not forbid you from interfering (other) people’s business?”

(Lot) said: “These are my daughters, if you will do what you are thinking.”

Assuredly, by your life! Surely, they staggered in their intoxication (from alcohol).

So a Sayha (terrible sound wave) overtook them (those who were there at sunrise).

Thus did We turn it (the city) upside down, and rained down upon them (fatal) stones of baked clay.

Surely in this are Signs for those who examine to learn.

And surely it still remains on a way.

Most surely there are Signs in this for the believers (souls of people’s hearts which is written Faith in).

The Dwellers (of the city) of Ayka were most surely tyrants.

So, We took vengeance on them too and they are both, indeed, a clear guide (a lesson to be learnt for the following generations).

And I swear that the Dwellers (of the city) of Hijr certainly belied the sent Messengers.

And We gave them Our Verses (miracles, proofs), but they turned aside from them.

And they used to carve out safe houses in the mountains.

So the Sayha (awful cry) overtook those who made to the morning.

And what they earned did not avail them.

We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them except with the truth. And the Hour (Doomsday) will most surely come. So turn away from them with graciousness.

Surely your Lord is the Creator of all things and the All-Knowing.

And I swear that We have given you of the two - the second seven (the second seven verses - from the book of the Imam of the Time, and the first seven verses - from the surah Opening (Fatiha)), and the Grand Qur’ân.

Do not extend your eyes what We have given some of them as provision in pairs (abundantly), nor grieve over them. And lower your wings for (those whose souls’ hearts is written Faith in them) the believers (guard them, be humble).

And say: “Surely I am a plain Warner (who explains)”.

Just as We sent down to those who divided into parts (Torah, Bible, Psalms also) –

they made the Qur’ân into parts.

So, by your Lord that We will certainly call them altogether to account

as to what they used to do.

So proclaim openly what you are commanded, and turn away from the polytheists.

Surely, We will suffice you against the mockers,

who recognize other gods besides Allah. But soon they will know.

And I swear, We know that your breast is straitened at what they say.

Therefore glorify your Lord with His praise, and be of those who bow down.

And be a servant to Allah until what is certain (the last yakin is Hakk\ul (True) yakin until you reach the level at which one becomes a servant of Allah) comes to you.
