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 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 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 InternationalI wish my death had been the decisive one
Saheeh InternationalGone from me is my authority
Saheeh International[Allah will say], "Seize him and shackle 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 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
