In the name of The God, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
Al-Haqqah 69:1
The Inevitable Reality!
Al-Haqqah 69:2
What is the Inevitable Reality?
Al-Haqqah 69:3
What will make you know what the Inevitable Reality is?
Al-Haqqah 69:4
Thamud and Ad denied the Striking Event.
Al-Haqqah 69:5
As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overwhelming calamity.
Al-Haqqah 69:6
As for Ad, they were destroyed by a fierce, raging wind.
Al-Haqqah 69:7
He subjected them to it for seven nights and eight days without respite. You would see the people lying fallen, like hollow trunks of palm trees.
Al-Haqqah 69:8
Do you see any remnant of them?
Al-Haqqah 69:9
Pharaoh, those before him, and the overturned towns committed wrongdoing.
Al-Haqqah 69:10
They disobeyed their Lord’s messenger, so He seized them with an overwhelming seizure.
Al-Haqqah 69:11
When the water overflowed, We carried you in the sailing vessel,
Al-Haqqah 69:12
to make it a reminder for you, and so that a receptive ear might retain it.
Al-Haqqah 69:13
When the trumpet is blown with a single blast,
Al-Haqqah 69:14
and the earth and mountains are lifted and crushed with a single crushing,
Al-Haqqah 69:15
on that day the Event will occur.
Al-Haqqah 69:16
The sky will split apart, frail on that day.
Al-Haqqah 69:17
ۚ
The angels will be at its edges, and eight will bear your Lord’s throne above them that day.
Al-Haqqah 69:18
On that day you will be presented; nothing hidden about you will remain hidden.
Al-Haqqah 69:19
As for one given his record in his right hand, he will say, “Here, read my record!
Al-Haqqah 69:20
I knew that I would meet my reckoning.”
Al-Haqqah 69:21
He will be in a pleasing life,
Al-Haqqah 69:22
in a lofty garden,
Al-Haqqah 69:23
whose fruits hang near.
Al-Haqqah 69:24
“Eat and drink with enjoyment for what you sent ahead in days gone by.”
Al-Haqqah 69:25
As for one given his record in his left hand, he will say, “If only I had not been given my record,
Al-Haqqah 69:26
and had not known my reckoning!
Al-Haqqah 69:27
If only it had been the final end!
Al-Haqqah 69:28
ۜ
My wealth has availed me nothing.
Al-Haqqah 69:29
My authority has perished.”
Al-Haqqah 69:30
“Seize him and shackle him,
Al-Haqqah 69:31
then burn him in the blazing fire,
Al-Haqqah 69:32
then bind him in a chain seventy cubits long.
Al-Haqqah 69:33
He did not believe in The God, the Great,
Al-Haqqah 69:34
and did not urge feeding the needy.
Al-Haqqah 69:35
Today he has no close friend here,
Al-Haqqah 69:36
and no food except foul discharge,
Al-Haqqah 69:37
which none but the sinners eat.”
Al-Haqqah 69:38
So I swear by what you see,
Al-Haqqah 69:39
and what you do not see,
Al-Haqqah 69:40
that it is the speech of a noble messenger.
Al-Haqqah 69:41
ۚ
It is not a poet’s speech. How little you believe!
Al-Haqqah 69:42
ۚ
Nor is it a soothsayer’s speech. How little you take heed!
Al-Haqqah 69:43
A revelation from the Lord of all worlds.
Al-Haqqah 69:44
Had he attributed some sayings to Us falsely,
Al-Haqqah 69:45
We would have seized him by the right hand,
Al-Haqqah 69:46
then cut his life artery.
Al-Haqqah 69:47
None of you could have shielded him.
Al-Haqqah 69:48
It is a reminder for the mindful.
Al-Haqqah 69:49
We know that among you are those who deny.
Al-Haqqah 69:50
It is a source of regret for the disbelievers.
Al-Haqqah 69:51
It is the truth of certainty.
Al-Haqqah 69:52
So glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
