Al-Anbiya 21:1

<h2>Which was revealed in Makkah</h2><h2>The Virtues of Surat Al-Anbiya'</h2><p>Al-Bukhari recorded that `Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid said that `Abdullah said, "Banu Isra'il, Al-Kahf, Maryam, Ta Ha and Al-Anbiya' - they are among the earliest and most beautiful Surahs and they are my treasure."</p><p>بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ</p><p>In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.</p><h2>The Hour is at hand but People are heedless</h2><p>This is a warning from Allah of the approach of the Hour, and that people are heedless of it, i.e., they are not working for it or preparing for it.

And if they see a sign, they turn away.) 54:1,2. Then Allah states that they do not listen to the revelation (Wahy) that He sends down to His Messenger , which is addressed to the Quraysh and all disbelievers like them.</p><p>مَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ مُّحْدَثٍ</p><p>(Comes not unto …

Their reckoning draweth nigh for mankind, while they turn away in heedlessness.

Closer and closer to mankind comes their Reckoning: yet they heed not and they turn away.

Draws near for mankind their reckoning, while they turn away in heedlessness.

Mankind’s reckoning has drawn near, but they turn away heedlessly.
