Read and listen to Surah Al-Hajj with translation, tafsir, audio recitation, word-by-word meaning, and transliteration. O humanity! Fear your Lord, for the ˹violent˺ quaking at the Hour is surely a dreadful thing. The Day you see it, every nursing mother will abandon what she is nursing, and every pregnant woman will deliver her burden ˹prematurely˺. And you will see people ˹as if they were˺ drunk, though they will not be drunk; but the torment of Allah is ˹terribly˺ severe. ˹Still˺ there are some who dispute about Allah without knowledge, and follow every rebellious devil. It has been decreed for such devils that whoever takes them as a guide will be misguided and led by them into the torment of the Blaze.
