Allah the Exalted says, `O Muhammad, turn away from these people who, when
they witness a miracle, they deny it and say that this is continuous magic.'
Turn away from them and wait until,
[يَوْمَ يَدْعُو
الدَّاعِ إِلَى شَىْءٍ نُّكُرٍ]
(The Day that the caller will call (them) to a terrible thing.) to the
Recompense and the afflictions, horrors and tremendous hardships that it brings
forth,
[خُشَّعاً
أَبْصَـرُهُمْ]
(with humbled eyes), their eyes will be covered with disgrace,
[يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ
الاٌّجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ]
(they will come forth from (their) graves as if they were locusts spread
abroad.) They will gather towards the area of Reckoning in such haste and
crowds, in response to the caller, as if they were crowds of locusts spreading
all about. Allah said,
[مُهْطِعِينَ]
(Hastening) meaing hurriedly,
[إِلَى
الدَّاعِ]
(towards the caller.) without being able to hesitate or slow down,
[يَقُولُ
الْكَـفِرُونَ هَـذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ]
(The disbelievers will say: "This is a hard Day.''), meaing, `this is a hard,
terrible, horrifying and distressful Day,'
[فَذَلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ
يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ - عَلَى الْكَـفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ ]
(Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day -- far from easy for the dis- believers.)
(74:9-10)
[كَذَّبَتْ
قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُواْ عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُواْ مَجْنُونٌ وَازْدُجِرَ
- فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنُّى مَغْلُوبٌ فَانتَصِرْ - فَفَتَحْنَآ أَبْوَبَ السَّمَآءِ
بِمَاءٍ مُّنْهَمِرٍ - وَفَجَّرْنَا الاٌّرْضَ عُيُوناً فَالْتَقَى المَآءُ عَلَى
أَمْرٍ قَدْ قُدِرَ - وَحَمَلْنَاهُ عَلَى ذَاتِ أَلْوَحٍ وَدُسُرٍ - تَجْرِى
بِأَعْيُنِنَا جَزَآءً لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ - وَلَقَدْ تَّرَكْنَـهَا ءايَةً فَهَلْ
مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ - فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ - وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا
الْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ ]
(9. The people of Nuh denied (their Messenger) before them. They rejected Our
servant and said: "A madman!'' Wazdujir.) (10. Then he invoked his Lord
(saying): "I have been overcome, so help (me)!'') (11. So, We opened the gates
of the heaven with water Munhamir.) (12. And We caused springs to gush forth
from the earth. So, the waters met for a matter predestined.) (13. And We
carried him on a (ship) made of planks and nails (Dusur)) (14. Floating under
Our Eyes, a reward for him who had been rejected!) (15. And indeed, We have left
this as a sign. Then is there any that will remember) (16. Then how (terrible)
was My torment and My warnings) (17. And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to
understand and remember; then is there anyone who will remember)
