Quran 25:25~29 (Ayah al-Furqan)
˹Watch for˺ the Day the heavens will burst with clouds, and the angels will be sent down in successive ranks. True authority on that Day will belong ˹only˺ to the Most Compassionate. And it will be a hard day for the disbelievers. And ˹beware of˺ the Day the wrongdoer will bite his nails ˹in regret˺ and say, “Oh! I wish I had followed the Way along with the Messenger! Woe to me! I wish I had never taken so-and-so as a close friend. It was he who truly made me stray from the Reminder after it had reached me.” And Satan has always betrayed humanity. Quran 25:25~29 Surah Al-Furqan (The Criterion)
Surah al-Furqan [The Criterion] takes its name from the first Ayat, تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْفُرْقَانَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ “Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant…” [25:1]
This Surah has 77 Ayat.
سُوۡرَةُ الفُرقان وَيَوۡمَ تَشَقَّقُ السَّمَآءُ بِالۡـغَمَامِ وَنُزِّلَ الۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةُ تَنۡزِيۡلًا‏ ﴿۲۵﴾ اَلۡمُلۡكُ يَوۡمَٮِٕذِ اۨلۡحَـقُّ لِلرَّحۡمٰنِ‌ؕ وَكَانَ يَوۡمًا عَلَى الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ عَسِيۡرًا‏ ﴿۲۶﴾ وَيَوۡمَ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلٰى يَدَيۡهِ يَقُوۡلُ يٰلَيۡتَنِى اتَّخَذۡتُ مَعَ الرَّسُوۡلِ سَبِيۡلًا‏ ﴿۲۷﴾ يٰوَيۡلَتٰى لَيۡتَنِىۡ لَمۡ اَتَّخِذۡ فُلَانًا خَلِيۡلًا‏ ﴿۲۸﴾ لَقَدۡ اَضَلَّنِىۡ عَنِ الذِّكۡرِ بَعۡدَ اِذۡ جَآءَنِىۡ‌ ؕ وَكَانَ الشَّيۡطٰنُ لِلۡاِنۡسَانِ خَذُوۡلًا‏ ﴿۲۹﴾
The Surah answers some of the objections of the non-believers against the Qur’an and the teachings of Islam. It also presents the character of the Believers as criteria to prove the truth of Islam.
سورة الفُرقان آسمان کو چیرتا ہوا ایک بادل اس روز نمودار ہو گا اور فرشتے بکثرت اتارے جائیں گے ﴿۲۵﴾ اُس روز حقیقی بادشاہی صرف رحمان کی ہو گی اور وہ منکرین کے لیے بڑا سخت دن ہو گا ﴿۲۶﴾ ظالم انسان اپنا ہاتھ چبائے گا اور کہے گا "کاش میں نے رسول کا ساتھ دیا ہوتا ﴿۲۷﴾ ہائے میری کم بختی، کاش میں نے فلاں شخص کو دوست نہ بنایا ہوتا ﴿۲۸﴾ اُس کے بہکائے میں آ کر میں نے وہ نصیحت نہ مانی جو میرے پاس آئی تھی، شیطان انسان کے حق میں بڑا ہی بے وفا نکلا" ﴿۲۹﴾
