Surraning markaziy mavzusi bor bo'lib, u buni mutlaqo aniq qilishni maqsad qiladi. Uning uslubi va ohangi, shuningdek, chizgan tasvirlar va sahnalar bu maqsadni birgalikda bizning ongimizga yetkazadi va bizni juda ilhomlantiruvchi tarzda o'ziga tortadi. Shunday qilib, surah bizga ko'plab tasvirlarni taqdim etadi, darhaqiqat, u bizni ularning barcha tomonlaridan o'rab oladi. Biz ularning go'yo ko'z oldimizda sodir bo'layotgandek jonlanib ketganini ko'rmasdan qololmaymiz. Bu yerda biz Samud, 'Od, Fir'avn, Sodom va Gomorra xalqlarining taqdirlarini ko'ramiz va ularning dahshatli oqibatlari bizni o'rab olganini his qilamiz. Ulug' toshqin va kemada qutqarilgan bir necha insonning sahnasi ikki qisqa oyatda chizilgan. Keling, 'Od xalqining dahshatli taqdirga qanday uchraganini o'qib ko'raylik: “'Od xalqi shiddatli bo'ron bilan halok qilindi. U bo'ron ularga yetti kecha va sakkiz kun davomida ketma-ket esib turdi. Siz ularni go'yo ichi bo'sh xurmo tanalari kabi ag'darilib yotgan holda ko'rardingiz. Endi ularning biror izini ko'rasizmi?” (6–8-oyatlar). Bu shiddatli bo'ronning sakkiz kun va yetti kecha davomida dahshatli vayronagarchilik keltirib, 'Od xalqini butunlay yo'q qilgani va ularni ichi bo'sh, ildizdan sug'urilgan daraxt tanalariga o'xshatib qo'yganini ko'z oldingizga keltirmaslik mumkinmi? Bu shunchalik jonli sahnaki, uni ko'z bilan ko'rmay va fikrimizda chizmay iloji yo'q. Xuddi shu gap kofirlarning o'tmishda boshiga tushgan dahshatli taqdirlarining barcha tasvirlariga ham tegishlidir.
The surah has a central theme, which it aims to make absolutely clear. The style and beat it employs and the images and scenes it draws work in unison to drive this home to us in a highly inspiring way. Thus, the surah gives us a great host of images indeed it surrounds us with them from all sides. We cannot fail to see them brought alive as if they are taking place in front of our very eyes. Here, we see the fates of the Thamud, the 'Ad, Pharaoh, Sodom and Gomorrah and feel engulfed by their terrible effects. The scene of the great floods and the few human survivors carried in the Ark is painted in two short verses. Read, if you will, how the 'Ad suffered their terrible fate: “ The (Ad were destroyed by a furiously howling wind, which He caused to rage upon them for seven nights and eight decisive days. You could see their people lying dead, like uprooted trunks of hollow palm trees. Can you see any trace of them now? ” (Verses 6-8) Can you fail to see in your mind’s eye how this raging storm continued to vent its furious havoc for eight days and seven nights leaving the 'Ad utterly destroyed and resembling hollow, uprooted tree trunks? It is such a vivid scene that we cannot help but see it with our eyes and paint it with our minds. The same applies to all images of the terrible fates suffered by unbelievers of old.
Yana koinotning dahshatli oxirigi tasvirlari ko'z oldimizga keltiriladi; ularga hamroh bo'lgan shovqinni eshitamiz va dahshat hamda tashvishga to'lamiz. Mana bu oyatni tinglang: “Yer va tog'lar ko'tarilib, bir zarb bilan yanchilib tekislanadi.” (14-oyat) Ko'tarilishni va keyin yiqilishni ko'rganingizdan so'ng, o'sha dahshatli zarbani eshitmayapsizmi?
Then again the images of the terrible end of the universe are brought before us; we hear the noise accompanying them and we are filled with terror and distress. Listen to this verse: “ The earth and mountains are lifted up and with one mighty crash are flattened. ” (Verse 14) Do you not hear that mighty crash after having seen the lifting up and then the fall?
Yana tinglang: “Osmon yorilib ketadi, chunki o‘sha kuni u mo‘rt bo‘lib qolgan bo‘ladi.” (16-oyat). Bu qayg‘uli yakun, go‘zal osmonning parchalanib ketishi, sizning ko‘z o‘ngingizda aniq namoyon bo‘ladimi?
Tinglashda davom eting: “Farishtalar uning barcha tomonlarida turadi, o‘sha kuni esa sakkiztasi Rabbingizning Arshini ko‘tarib turadi. O‘sha kuni siz hisob-kitobga tortilasiz va sizning hech bir sirингiz yashirin qolmaydi.” (17-18-oyatlar). Bu dahshatli manzaraning ulug‘vorligi faqat tasavvuringizni to‘ldirishi mumkin.
Listen again: “ The sky will be rent asunder, for, it will have become frail on that day.” (Verse 16) Does this sad end, with a beautiful sky torn apart, present itself clearly before you? Keep listening: “ The angels will stand on all its sides and, on that day, eight of them will bear aloft the Throne of your Lord. On that day you shall be brought to judgement and none of your secrets will remain hidden. ” (Verses 17-18) The majesty of this awesome scene can only but fill your imagination.
Endi o‘sha odamning rasm-ini ko‘ring, u yozuv daftarini o‘ng qo‘lida oladi. Butun dunyo uning quvonchiga tor keladi. U xursand bo‘lib barcha mavjudotlarni chaqiradi: “Kelinglar, hammangiz! Mana bu mening yozuv daftarimni o‘qing.
Then look at the image of the person receiving his record in his right hand. The whole world is too small for his joy. He cheerfully calls on all creatures to come and read his record: “Come you all! Read this my record.
"Men aniq bilardimki, hisobimga ro‘baro‘ bo‘lishim kerak" (19–20-oyatlar). Bunga qarama-qarshi ravishda, hisob-kitob yozuvi chap qo‘liga berilgan kishining holatini tasavvur qiling: uning so‘zlari, ohangi va ifodasi chuqur qayg‘usidan dalolat beradi: "Keni, hisob-kitobim menga ko‘rsatilmaganida, hisobimdan hech narsa bilmaganimda edi! Keni, o‘lim mening ishimni tugatgan bo‘lsa edi! Boyligim menga hech narsa foyda bermadi. Endi hokimiyatim ham, kuchim ham yo‘qolib, men bechora bo‘lib qoldim" (25–29-oyatlar).
I certainly knew that one day I would have to face my account” (Verses 19—20) Contrast this with the image of the one whose record is given to him in his left hand: his words, tone and expression reflect his heart-felt grief: “ Would that I had never been shown my record and knew nothing of my account! Would that death had been the end of me! Nothing has my wealth availed me. I am now bereft of all my power” (Verses 25-29)
Kimning qulog'i bu jazo haqidagi ayolga, ya'ni keyingi shaxs haqidagi hukmni eshitganda qaltiramaydi? "Uni tutib bog'langlar, so'ng uni do'zax olovida yondiringlar, keyin uni yetmish zirow uzunlikdagi zanjirga bog'langlar." (30-32-oyatlar) Buyruqni bajarish uchun shoshilib kelayotgan farishtalarni deyarli ko'z oldimizga keltiramiz va bu sahnani o'qiganimizda uning ahvolini tasavvur qilamiz: "Bugun uning na do'sti bor, na gunohkorlardan boshqa hech kim yemaydigan chirkin ovqatdan boshqa taomi bor." (35-37-oyatlar) Nihoyat, bu qattiq ogohlantirish ongimizga yetib borganda, kim qo'rquv his qilmaydi? "Agar u Bizga biror to'qima gapni bog'lagan bo'lganida, Biz uni albatta o'ng qo'lidan ushlab olgan bo'lar edik va uning yurak tomirini uzib tashlagan bo'lar edik. Sizlardan hech kim uni qutqara olmas edi." (44-47-oyatlar) Bularning barchasi birgalikda shunday kuchli, aniq va ta'sirli tasvirlar va sahnalarni hosil qiladiki, ular bizdan chuqur e'tiborni talab qiladi.
Who of us will fail to shudder when we listen to the judgement in the case of the latter person: “Lay hold of him and shackle him, and bum him in the fire of hell, and then fasten him in a chain seventy cubits long.” (Verses 30-32) We almost see those receiving the command rushing to carry it out, and we visualize his situation there as we read: “So, no friend has he here today, nor any food except the filth that none other than the sinners eat” (Verses 35—37) Finally, who of us will not experience fear when our minds receive this stern warning: “Had he attributed some fabrications to Us, We would indeed have seized him by the right hand and cut off his life-vein, and none of you could have saved him.” (Verses 44-47) Combined, all these images and scenes are so powerful, clear and effective as to require our pressing attention.
Surada oyatlarning oxirgi bo‘g‘inlari va ularning o‘zgarishi uning ravshan ko‘zga tashlanadigan chuqur ta’siriga hissa qo‘shadi. Eng boshida juda uzun cho‘ziq V tovushi, undan keyin ikki marta takrorlangan portlovchi undosh va sirg‘aluvchi h keladi. Keyin oyatlarning hammasi aniq «yah» bo‘g‘ini bilan tugaydigan uzun bir qism keladi. Bu qism bizni bu dunyodagi va oxiratdagi halokat manzaralari orqali, shuningdek shaxsiy amallar nomalari berilganda quvonch va nadomat manzaralari orqali olib o‘tadi. So‘ngra hukm e’lon qilinganda oxirgi bo‘g‘in «WA’» tovushiga o‘zgaradi. Hukmning asosi jiddiy ravishda bayon etilganda, oxirgi bo‘g‘in yana o‘zgarib, uzun «e» va undan keyin «m» yoki «h» dan iborat qat’iy va yakuniy tovushni beradi. Oxirgi undosh va undan oldingi unli, shuningdek ohang o‘zgarishi sahna, tasvir va ruhiyatning o‘zgarishiga aniq mos keladigan hodisadir. U tasvirlangan mavzu va manzaralarga mukammal mos tushadi va suraning umumiy kuchli ta’siriga hissa qo‘shadi.
Shularni aytganimdan so‘ng, xulosa qilib shuni ta’kidlamoqchiman: suraning o‘zi har qanday tahlil yoki sharhda ko‘rsatilishi mumkin bo‘lgan narsadan ancha kuchliroqdir.
The surah's verse endings and their variation contribute to its clearly profound effect. At the very beginning, we have a very long V followed by a doubled plosive sound and a fricative 'h. Then we have a long stretch in which all the verses end with a clear 'yah final syllable. This passage takes us through the scenes of ruin in this world and in the life to come, as well as those of joy and lamentation when personal records are given. Then the ending changes to WA’ when the judgement is pronounced. When the basis of the judgement is outlined in all seriousness, the ending again changes to give us a firm and final sound formed of a long 'e* followed by either 'm! or 'h. This change of the last consonant and the vowel preceding it, as well as the beat, is a clear phenomenon that parallels the change of scene, image and aura. It fits perfectly with the subject matter and the images drawn. It contributes to the powerful effect the surah has generally. Having said all this, I would like to conclude by saying that the surah itself is far more powerful than can be shown by any analysis or comment anyone can make.
