Quran Recitation: Surah Al-Hajj (Chapter 22) by Al-Afasi with Chinese Translation

The Day of Judgment and Resurrection

• ⚠️ The Day of Judgment is described as a tremendous event, causing mothers to forget their suckling infants and pregnant women to miscarry.
• 🧠 People will appear intoxicated not from drink, but from the severity of God's punishment.
• 🌱 God reminds humanity of their creation from dust, then a drop of fluid, then a clinging clot, then a lump of flesh, both formed and unformed, as proof of resurrection.
• 💡 The earth, appearing dead, vibrates and swells with life when rain descends, demonstrating God's power to revive the dead.

Disputing God and Conditional Worship

• 🗣️ Some people dispute God without knowledge, following every rebellious devil, leading them astray to the torment of the Blazing Fire.
• 🎭 Others worship God on the verge, finding peace when good befalls them but turning away when tested, thus losing both this world and the Hereafter.
• 🚫 They call upon idols that neither harm nor benefit them, which is a clear deviation from the truth.

The Rituals of Hajj and Sacrifice

• 🕋 God appointed for Abraham the site of the House (Kaaba), instructing him not to associate partners with Him and to purify it for those who circumambulate, stand, bow, and prostrate.
• 📣 People are called to perform Hajj, coming on foot or on lean camels from every deep valley, to witness benefits and remember God's name over sacrificial animals.
• 🙏 The sacrificial animals (camels and cattle) are among God's symbols, bringing good to the worshippers, whose flesh and blood do not reach God, but their piety does.

Divine Support and Justice

• 💪 God defends those who believe, for He does not love any treacherous disbeliever.
• 🛡️ Permission is granted to those who are fought against because they have been wronged, and God is certainly able to grant them victory.
• ⚖️ If God did not repel some people by others, monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques where God's name is much mentioned would have been demolished.

Rewards and Punishments

• 🏞️ Those who believe and do righteous deeds will be admitted to Gardens beneath which rivers flow, adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their clothing will be silk.
• 🔥 For disbelievers, garments of fire will be cut out, and boiling water will be poured over their heads, melting what is within their bellies and their skins.
• 🎯 God's promise is true, and He will judge between people on the Day of Resurrection concerning their disputes.
