84. "The Rending"
 
     
1.
When the world is in turmoil,  
2.
And calls out to the Lord for help,  
3.
And when civilization lays is in ruins,
 
4.
And its citizens are refugees and her cities empty,
 
5.
And they call out to the Lord in anguish!
 
6.
Then, verily, O humanity, Allah shall not abandon even one of you nor condemn you from his love.
 
7.
Then whoso have self knowledge and respect others as they themselves are respected,
 
8.
They truly shall be appointed by Allah to lead humanity out of the darkness,
 
9.
And will return the Earth to a place of Living Heaven in joy.
 
10.
But whoso are given to false scripture of worshipping hatred and deliberate ignorance against the will of the Lord,
 
11.
They surely shall lose all power to deceive, to murder and blaspheme
 
12.
And be in great anguish in the afterlife.
 
13.
For while they were alive, they spread lies concerning the message of the Lord,
 
14.
They verily deemed that they would never return unto Allah.
 
15.
No, but Behold! the Lord is ever looking on each and every one of them!
 
16.
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
 
17.
And by the night and all that it enshrouds,
 
18.
And by the moon when she is at the full,
 
19.
That all of you shall journey on in the afterlife from state of being to state of being.
 
20.
What disturbs then the evil descendents of the Sadducees, is that they do not believe this.
 
21.
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, they do not respect it.
 
22.
Rather, they preach for all men to fear Allah to be ignorant of the truth and to do harm;
 
23.
And Allah knows best what they are hiding.
 
24.
So give them tidings of compassion for their future afterlife of anguish,
 
25.
Except those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
