بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝١

The Reality!

مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝٢

What is the Reality?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝۳

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the reality is!

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌۢ بِٱلْقَارِعَةِ ۝٤

(The tribes of) Thamud and A'ad disbelieved in the judgment to come.

فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ ۝٥

As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the lightning.

وَأَمَّا عَادٌۭ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِرِيحٍۢ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍۢ ۝٦

And as for A'ad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind,

سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍۢ وَثَمَٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًۭا فَتَرَى ٱلْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍۢ ۝۷

Which He imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown, as they were hollow trunks of palm-trees.

فَهَلْ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٍۢ ۝۸

Canst thou (O Muhammad) see any remnant of them?

وَجَآءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَٰتُ بِٱلْخَاطِئَةِ ۝۹

And Pharaoh and those before him, and the communities that were destroyed, brought error,

فَعَصَوْا۟ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةًۭ رَّابِيَةً ۝١۰

And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, therefor did He grip them with a tightening grip.

إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلْمَآءُ حَمَلْنَٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْجَارِيَةِ ۝١١

Lo! when the waters rose, We carried you upon the ship

لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةًۭ وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٌۭ وَٰعِيَةٌۭ ۝١٢

That We might make it a memorial for you, and that remembering ears (that heard the story) might remember.

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ ۝١۳

And when the trumpet shall sound one blast

وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ ۝١٤

And the earth with the mountains shall be lifted up and crushed with one crash,

فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ ۝١٥

Then, on that day will the Event befall.

وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاهِيَةٌۭ ۝١٦

And the heaven will split asunder, for that day it will be frail.

وَٱلْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرْجَآئِهَا ۚ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ ثَمَٰنِيَةٌۭ ۝١۷

And the angels will be on the sides thereof, and eight will uphold the Throne of thy Lord that day, above them.

يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌۭ ۝١۸

On that day ye will be exposed; not a secret of you will be hidden.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُوا۟ كِتَٰبِيَهْ ۝١۹

Then, as for him who is given his record in his right hand, he will say: Take, read my book!

إِنِّى ظَنَنتُ أَنِّى مُلَٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ ۝٢۰

Surely I knew that I should have to meet my reckoning.

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ ۝٢١

Then he will be in blissful state

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ ۝٢٢

In a high garden

قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌۭ ۝٢۳

Whereof the clusters are in easy reach.

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَآ أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْخَالِيَةِ ۝٢٤

(And it will be said unto those therein): Eat and drink at ease for that which ye sent on before you in past days.

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى لَمْ أُوتَ كِتَٰبِيَهْ ۝٢٥

But as for him who is given his record in his left hand, he will say: Oh, would that I had not been given my book

وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ ۝٢٦

And knew not what my reckoning!

يَٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْقَاضِيَةَ ۝٢۷

Oh, would that it had been death!

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنِّى مَالِيَهْ ۜ ۝٢۸

My wealth hath not availed me,

هَلَكَ عَنِّى سُلْطَٰنِيَهْ ۝٢۹

My power hath gone from me.

خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ ۝۳۰

(It will be said): Take him and fetter him

ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ ۝۳١

And then expose him to hell-fire

ثُمَّ فِى سِلْسِلَةٍۢ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًۭا فَٱسْلُكُوهُ ۝۳٢

And then insert him in a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝۳۳

Lo! He used not to believe in Allah the Tremendous,

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ۝۳٤

And urged not on the feeding of the wretched.

فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌۭ ۝۳٥

Therefor hath he no lover here this day,

وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍۢ ۝۳٦

Nor any food save filth

لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَٰطِـُٔونَ ۝۳۷

Which none but sinners eat.

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝۳۸

But nay! I swear by all that ye see

وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝۳۹

And all that ye see not

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ۝٤۰

That it is indeed the speech of an illustrious messenger.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ ۝٤١

It is not poet's speech - little is it that ye believe!

وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٤٢

Nor diviner's speech - little is it that ye remember!

تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٤۳

It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ ۝٤٤

And if he had invented false sayings concerning Us,

لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ ۝٤٥

We assuredly had taken him by the right hand

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ ۝٤٦

And then severed his life-artery,

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَٰجِزِينَ ۝٤۷

And not one of you could have held Us off from him.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌۭ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ۝٤۸

And lo! it is a warrant unto those who ward off (evil).

وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ ۝٤۹

And lo! We know that some among you will deny (it).

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ۝٥۰

And lo! it is indeed an anguish for the disbelievers.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ ۝٥١

And lo! it is absolute truth.

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝٥٢

So glorify the name of thy Tremendous Lord.
