69. Al-Haaqqa سُورَةُ الحَاقَّةِ

Saheeh InternationalThe Inevitable Reality

Saheeh InternationalWhat is the Inevitable Reality

Saheeh InternationalAnd what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality

Saheeh InternationalThamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity

Saheeh InternationalSo as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast]

Saheeh InternationalAnd as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind

Saheeh InternationalWhich Allah imposed upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so you would see the people therein fallen as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees

Saheeh InternationalThen do you see of them any remains

Saheeh InternationalAnd there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin

Saheeh InternationalAnd they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity]

Saheeh InternationalIndeed, when the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing ship

Saheeh InternationalThat We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it

Saheeh InternationalThen when the Horn is blown with one blast

Saheeh InternationalAnd the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow

Saheeh InternationalThen on that Day, the Resurrection will occur

Saheeh InternationalAnd the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm

Saheeh InternationalAnd the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them]

Saheeh InternationalThat Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed

Saheeh InternationalSo as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record

Saheeh InternationalIndeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account

Saheeh InternationalSo he will be in a pleasant life

Saheeh InternationalIn an elevated garden

Saheeh InternationalIts [fruit] to be picked hanging near

Saheeh International[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past

Saheeh InternationalBut as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my record

Saheeh InternationalAnd had not known what is my account

Saheeh InternationalI wish my death had been the decisive one

Saheeh InternationalMy wealth has not availed me

Saheeh InternationalGone from me is my authority

Saheeh International[Allah will say], "Seize him and shackle him

Saheeh InternationalThen into Hellfire drive him

Saheeh InternationalThen into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him

Saheeh InternationalIndeed, he did not used to believe in Allah, the Most Great

Saheeh InternationalNor did he encourage the feeding of the poor

Saheeh InternationalSo there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend

Saheeh InternationalNor any food except from the discharge of wounds

Saheeh InternationalNone will eat it except the sinners

Saheeh InternationalSo I swear by what you see

Saheeh InternationalAnd what you do not see

Saheeh International[That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger

Saheeh InternationalAnd it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe

Saheeh InternationalNor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember

Saheeh International[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds

Saheeh InternationalAnd if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings

Saheeh InternationalWe would have seized him by the right hand

Saheeh InternationalThen We would have cut from him the aorta

Saheeh InternationalAnd there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him

Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous

Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, We know that among you are deniers

Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers

Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, it is the truth of certainty

Saheeh InternationalSo exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great
