Al-Haqqah


ٱلۡحَآقَّةُ

(69:1) The indubitable event!1


مَا ٱلۡحَآقَّةُ

(69:2) And what is that indubitable event?


وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡحَآقَّةُ

(69:3) And what do you know what that indubitable event is?2


كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ وَعَادُۢ بِٱلۡقَارِعَةِ

(69:4) The Thamud3 and the Ad denied the (possibility of a) sudden
calamity,4 calling it false.


فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهۡلِكُواْ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ

(69:5) Then the Thamud were destroyed by an awesome upheaval;5


وَأَمَّا عَادٞ فَأُهۡلِكُواْ بِرِيحٖ صَرۡصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٖ

(69:6) and the Ad were destroyed by a furiously raging wind-storm


سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ سَبۡعَ لَيَالٖ وَثَمَٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومٗاۖ فَتَرَى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ فِيهَا صَرۡعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمۡ أَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلٍ خَاوِيَةٖ

(69:7) which He let loose upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession;
so that (if you had been there) you might have seen people lying prostrate,
as though they were uprooted trunks of hollowed palm trees.
