Al Hâqqah
Surah 69. The Reality

 

69:1 The Sure Reality!
Alhaqqatu
69:2 What is the Sure Reality?
Ma alhaqqatu
69:3 And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is?
Wama adraka ma alhaqqatu
69:4 The Thamud and the ‘Ad People (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity!
Kaththabat thamoodu waAAadun bialqariAAati
69:5 But the Thamud,- they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning!
Faamma thamoodu faohlikoo bialttaghiyati
69:6 And the ‘Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent;
Waamma AAadun faohlikoo bireehinsarsarin AAatiyatin
69:7 He made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: so that thou couldst see the (whole) people lying prostrate in its (path), as they had been roots of hollow palm-trees tumbled down!
Sakhkharaha AAalayhim sabAAa layalinwathamaniyata ayyamin husooman fataraalqawma feeha sarAAa kaannahum aAAjazunakhlin khawiyatun
69:8 Then seest thou any of them left surviving?
Fahal tara lahum min baqiyatin
69:9 And Pharaoh, and those before him, and the Cities Overthrown, committed habitual Sin.
Wajaa firAAawnu waman qablahu waalmu/tafikatubialkhati-ati
69:10 And disobeyed (each) the apostle of their Lord; so He punished them with an abundant Penalty.
FaAAasaw rasoola rabbihim faakhathahumakhthatan rabiyatan
69:11 We, when the water (of Noah’s Flood) overflowed beyond its limits, carried you (mankind), in the floating (Ark),
Inna lamma taghaalmao hamalnakum fee aljariyati
69:12 That We might make it a Message unto you, and that ears (that should hear the tale and) retain its memory should bear its (lessons) in remembrance.
LinajAAalaha lakum tathkiratanwataAAiyaha othunun waAAiyatun
69:13 Then, when one blast is sounded on the Trumpet,
Fa-itha nufikha fee alssoorinafkhatun wahidatun
69:14 And the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed to powder at one stroke,-
Wahumilati al-ardu waaljibalufadukkata dakkatan wahidatan
69:15 On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass.
Fayawma-ithin waqaAAati alwaqiAAatu
69:16 And the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy,
Wainshaqqati alssamaofahiya yawma-ithin wahiyatun
69:17 And the angels will be on its sides, and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of thy Lord above them.
Waalmalaku AAala arja-ihawayahmilu AAarsha rabbika fawqahum yawma-ithin thamaniyatun
69:18 That Day shall ye be brought to Judgment: not an act of yours that ye hide will be hidden.
Yawma-ithin tuAAradoona latakhfa minkum khafiyatun
69:19 Then he that will be given his Record in his right hand will say: “Ah here! Read ye my Record!
Faamma man ootiya kitabahubiyameenihi fayaqoolu haomu iqraoo kitabiyah
69:20 “I did really understand that my Account would (One Day) reach me!”
Innee thanantu annee mulaqinhisabiyah
69:21 And he will be in a life of Bliss,
Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin
69:22 In a Garden on high,
Fee jannatin AAaliyatin
69:23 The Fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near.
Qutoofuha daniyatun
69:24 “Eat ye and drink ye, with full satisfaction; because of the (good) that ye sent before you, in the days that are gone!”
Kuloo waishraboo hanee-an bimaaslaftum fee al-ayyami alkhaliyati
69:25 And he that will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: “Ah! Would that my Record had not been given to me!
Waamma man ootiya kitabahubishimalihi fayaqoolu ya laytanee lam oota kitabiyah
69:26 “And that I had never realised how my account (stood)!
Walam adri ma hisabiyah
69:27 “Ah! Would that (Death) had made an end of me!
Ya laytaha kanati alqadiyatu
69:28 “Of no profit to me has been my wealth!
Ma aghna AAannee maliyah
69:29 “My power has perished from me!”…
Halaka AAannee sultaniyah
69:30 (The stern command will say): “Seize ye him, and bind ye him,
Khuthoohu faghulloohu
69:31 “And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire.
Thumma aljaheema salloohu
69:32 “Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits!
Thumma fee silsilatin tharAAuhasabAAoona thiraAAan faoslukoohu
69:33 “This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High.
Innahu kana la yu/minu biAllahialAAatheemi
69:34 “And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent!
Wala yahuddu AAalataAAami almiskeeni
69:35 “So no friend hath he here this Day.
Falaysa lahu alyawma hahuna hameemun
69:36 “Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds,
Wala taAAamun illamin ghisleenin
69:37 “Which none do eat but those in sin.”
La ya/kuluhu illa alkhati-oona
69:38 So I do call to witness what ye see,
Fala oqsimu bima tubsiroona
69:39 And what ye see not,
Wama la tubsiroona
69:40 That this is verily the word of an honoured apostle;
Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin
69:41 It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe!
Wama huwa biqawli shaAAirinqaleelan ma tu/minoona
69:42 Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye receive.
Wala biqawli kahinin qaleelanma tathakkaroona
69:43 (This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds.
Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameena
69:44 And if the apostle were to invent any sayings in Our name,
Walaw taqawwala AAalayna baAAdaal-aqaweeli
69:45 We should certainly seize him by his right hand,
Laakhathna minhu bialyameeni
69:46 And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:
Thumma laqataAAna minhualwateena
69:47 Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath).
Fama minkum min ahadin AAanhu hajizeena
69:48 But verily this is a Message for the Allah-fearing.
Wa-innahu latathkiratun lilmuttaqeena
69:49 And We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject (it).
Wa-inna lanaAAlamu anna minkum mukaththibeena
69:50 But truly (Revelation) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers.
Wa-innahu lahasratun AAala alkafireena
69:51 But verily it is Truth of assured certainty.
Wa-innahu lahaqqu alyaqeeni
69:52 So glorify the name of thy Lord Most High.
Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi
