Al-Haqqah


ٱلۡحَآقَّةُ

The Inevitable Hour!


مَا ٱلۡحَآقَّةُ

What is the Inevitable Hour?


وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلۡحَآقَّةُ

What will explain to you what the Inevitable Hour is?


كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ وَعَادُۢ بِٱلۡقَارِعَةِ

The people of Thamud and 'Ad denied that the crashing blowwould come:


فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهۡلِكُواْ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ

Thamud was destroyed by a deafening blast;


وَأَمَّا عَادٞ فَأُهۡلِكُواْ بِرِيحٖ صَرۡصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٖ

Ad was destroyed by a furious wind


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

that God let loose against them for seven consecutive nights, eight consecutive days, so that you could have seen its people lying dead like hollow palm-trunks.


فَهَلۡ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٖ

Can you see any trace of them now?


وَجَآءَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَن قَبۡلَهُۥ وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَٰتُ بِٱلۡخَاطِئَةِ

Pharaoh, too, and those before him, and the ruined cities: these people committed grave sins and disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with an ever-tightening grip.
