Al-Haqqah


(69:1) The indubitable event!1

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

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

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

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

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

(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.

(69:8) Do you now see any trace of them?

(69:9) Pharaoh and those before him and the people of the overturned habitations6
all engaged in the same great sin.

(69:10) They did not follow the Messenger of their Lord, and so He seized
them with a severe grip.

(69:11) Verily when the water rose to great heights,7 We bore
you upon a floating vessel (i.e. the Ark)8

(69:12) so that We might make it an instructive event for you, and retentive
ears might preserve its memory.9

(69:13) So0 when the Trumpet is blown with a single blast

(69:14) and the earth and the mountains are carried aloft and are crushed
to bits at one stroke,

(69:15) on that Day shall that indubitable event come to pass;

(69:16) when the sky will be rent asunder, the grip holding it together having
loosened on that Day,

(69:17) and the angels will stand on the sides, with eight of them bearing
aloft the Throne1 of your Lord on that Day.

(69:18) That will be the Day when you shall be brought forth (before Allah)
and no secret of yours shall remain hidden.

(69:19) On that Day, he whose Record is given to him in his right hand2
will say: “Lo! Read my Record!3

(69:20) Verily I was sure that I would be handed over my account.”4

(69:21) Then he shall find himself in a life of bliss;

(69:22) in a lofty Garden

(69:23) the clusters of whose fruit will be hanging low to be within reach
(of the inmates of Paradise).

(69:24) (They will be told): “Eat and drink with good cheer as a reward for
the good deeds you did in the days that have passed by.”

(69:25) As for him whose Record will be given to him in his left hand,5
he will exclaim: “Would that I had never been given my Record,6

(69:26) and had not known my account.7

(69:27) Oh! Would that the death that came to me in the world had made an
end of me!8

(69:28) My riches have not availed me,

(69:29) and my authority has vanished.”9

(69:30) (A command will be issued): “Seize him and shackle him,

(69:31) then cast him in the Fire,

(69:32) then fasten him with a chain, seventy cubits long.

(69:33) He would not believe in Allah, the Most Great;

(69:34) nor would he urge the feeding of the poor.0

(69:35) Today he has been left here friendless;

(69:36) and has no food except the filth from the washing of wounds,

(69:37) which only the sinners will eat.”

(69:38) But no;1 I swear by what you see,

(69:39) and by what you do not see,

(69:40) that this is the speech of an honourable Messenger,2

(69:41) not the speech of a poet. Little do you believe!3

(69:42) Nor is this the speech of a soothsayer. Little do you reflect!

(69:43) It has been revealed by the Lord of the Universe.4

(69:44) And if he [i.e., the Prophets] had forged this Discourse and thereafter
ascribed it to Us,

(69:45) We would surely have seized him by the right hand,

(69:46) and then severed his life vein;

(69:47) and not one of you would have been able to withhold Us from doing
so.5

(69:48) Surely it is a Good Counsel for the God-fearing.6

(69:49) We certainly know that some among you will give the lie to it,

(69:50) and surely it will be a cause of regret for the unbelievers.7

(69:51) Certainly it is a Truth of absolute certainty.

(69:52) So glorify the name of your Lord Most Great.
