بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝١

The Sure Reality!

مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝٢

What is the Sure Reality?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝۳

And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is?

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌۢ بِٱلْقَارِعَةِ ۝٤

The Thamud and the 'Ad People (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity!

فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ ۝٥

But the Thamud,- they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning!

وَأَمَّا عَادٌۭ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِرِيحٍۢ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍۢ ۝٦

And the 'Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent;

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

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!

فَهَلْ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٍۢ ۝۸

Then seest thou any of them left surviving?

وَجَآءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَٰتُ بِٱلْخَاطِئَةِ ۝۹

And Pharaoh, and those before him, and the Cities Overthrown, committed habitual Sin.

فَعَصَوْا۟ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةًۭ رَّابِيَةً ۝١۰

And disobeyed (each) the messenger of their Lord; so He punished them with an abundant Penalty.

إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلْمَآءُ حَمَلْنَٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْجَارِيَةِ ۝١١

We, when the water (of Noah's Flood) overflowed beyond its limits, carried you (mankind), in the floating (Ark),

لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةًۭ وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٌۭ وَٰعِيَةٌۭ ۝١٢

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.

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌۭ وَٰحِدَةٌۭ ۝١۳

Then, when one blast is sounded on the Trumpet,

وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ ۝١٤

And the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed to powder at one stroke,-

فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ ۝١٥

On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass.

وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاهِيَةٌۭ ۝١٦

And the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy,

وَٱلْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرْجَآئِهَا ۚ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ ثَمَٰنِيَةٌۭ ۝١۷

And the angels will be on its sides, and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of thy Lord above them.

يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌۭ ۝١۸

That Day shall ye be brought to Judgment: not an act of yours that ye hide will be hidden.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُوا۟ كِتَٰبِيَهْ ۝١۹

Then he that will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Ah here! Read ye my Record!

إِنِّى ظَنَنتُ أَنِّى مُلَٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ ۝٢۰

"I did really understand that my Account would (One Day) reach me!"

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍۢ رَّاضِيَةٍۢ ۝٢١

And he will be in a life of Bliss,

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۢ ۝٢٢

In a Garden on high,

قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌۭ ۝٢۳

The Fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near.

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَآ أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْخَالِيَةِ ۝٢٤

"Eat ye and drink ye, with full satisfaction; because of the (good) that ye sent before you, in the days that are gone!"

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

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!

وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ ۝٢٦

"And that I had never realised how my account (stood)!

يَٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْقَاضِيَةَ ۝٢۷

"Ah! Would that (Death) had made an end of me!

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنِّى مَالِيَهْ ۜ ۝٢۸

"Of no profit to me has been my wealth!

هَلَكَ عَنِّى سُلْطَٰنِيَهْ ۝٢۹

"My power has perished from me!"...

خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ ۝۳۰

(The stern command will say): "Seize ye him, and bind ye him,

ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ ۝۳١

"And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire.

ثُمَّ فِى سِلْسِلَةٍۢ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًۭا فَٱسْلُكُوهُ ۝۳٢

"Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits!

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝۳۳

"This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High.

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ۝۳٤

"And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent!

فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌۭ ۝۳٥

"So no friend hath he here this Day.

وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍۢ ۝۳٦

"Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds,

لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَٰطِـُٔونَ ۝۳۷

"Which none do eat but those in sin."

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝۳۸

So I do call to witness what ye see,

وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝۳۹

And what ye see not,

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ ۝٤۰

That this is verily the word of an honoured messenger;

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ ۝٤١

It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe!

وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍۢ ۚ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٤٢

Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye receive.

تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٤۳

(This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds.

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ ۝٤٤

And if the messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name,

لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ ۝٤٥

We should certainly seize him by his right hand,

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ ۝٤٦

And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَٰجِزِينَ ۝٤۷

Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath).

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌۭ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ۝٤۸

But verily this is a Message for the Allah-fearing.

وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ ۝٤۹

And We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject (it).

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ۝٥۰

But truly (Revelation) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ ۝٥١

But verily it is Truth of assured certainty.

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝٥٢

So glorify the name of thy Lord Most High.
