الـحاقّـة

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Reality!

1 The sure calamity!

1 Alhaqqatu

2 What is the Reality ?

2 What is the sure calamity!

2 Ma alhaqqatu

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

3 And what would make you realize what the sure calamity is!

3 Wama adraka ma alhaqqatu

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

4 Samood and Ad called the striking calamity a lie.

4 Kaththabat thamoodu waAAadun bialqariAAati

5 As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the lightning.

5 Then as to Samood, they were destroyed by an excessively severe punishment.

5 Faamma thamoodu faohlikoo bialttaghiyati

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

6 And as to Ad, they were destroyed by a roaring, violent blast.

6 Waamma AAadun faohlikoo bireehin sarsarin AAatiyatin

7 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.

7 Which He made to prevail against them for seven nights and eight days unremittingly, so that you might have seen the people therein prostrate as if they were the trunks of hollow palms.

7 Sakhkharaha AAalayhim sabAAa layalin wathamaniyata ayyamin husooman fatara alqawma feeha sarAAa kaannahum aAAjazu nakhlin khawiyatun

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

8 Do you then see of them one remaining?

8 Fahal tara lahum min baqiyatin

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

9 And Firon and those before him and the overthrown cities continuously committed sins.

9 Wajaa firAAawnu waman qablahu waalmutafikatu bialkhatiati

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

10 And they disobeyed the Apostle of their Lord, so He punished them with a vehement punishment.

10 FaAAasaw rasoola rabbihim faakhathahum akhthatan rabiyatan

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

11 Surely We bore you up in the ship when the water rose high,

11 Inna lamma tagha almao hamalnakum fee aljariyati

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

12 So that We may make it a reminder to you, and that the retaining ear might retain it.

12 LinajAAalaha lakum tathkiratan wataAAiyaha othunun waAAiyatun

13 And when the trumpet shall sound one blast

13 And when the trumpet is blown with a single blast,

13 Faitha nufikha fee alssoori nafkhatun wahidatun

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

14 And the earth and the mountains are borne away and crushed with a single crushing.

14 Wahumilati alardu waaljibalu fadukkata dakkatan wahidatan

15 Then, on that day will the Event befall.

15 On that day shall the great event come to pass,

15 Fayawmaithin waqaAAati alwaqiAAatu

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

16 And the heaven shall cleave asunder, so that on that day it shall be frail,

16 Wainshaqqati alssamao fahiya yawmaithin wahiyatun

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

17 And the angels shall be on the sides thereof; and above them eight shall bear on that day your Lord's power.

17 Waalmalaku AAala arjaiha wayahmilu AAarsha rabbika fawqahum yawmaithin thamaniyatun

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

18 On that day you shall be exposed to view - - no secret of yours shall remain hidden.

18 Yawmaithin tuAAradoona la takhfa minkum khafiyatun

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

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

19 Faamma man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi fayaqoolu haomu iqraoo kitabiyah

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

20 Surely I knew that I shall meet my account.

20 Innee thanantu annee mulaqin hisabiyah

21 Then he will be in blissful state

21 So he shall be in a life of pleasure,

21 Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin

22 In a high garden

22 In a lofty garden,

22 Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

23 Whereof the clusters are in easy reach.

23 The fruits of which are near at hand:

23 Qutoofuha daniyatun

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

24 Eat and drink pleasantly for what you did beforehand in the days gone by.

24 Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima aslaftum fee alayyami alkhaliyati

25 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

25 And as for him who is given his book in his left hand he shall say: O would that my book had never been given me:

25 Waamma man ootiya kitabahu bishimalihi fayaqoolu ya laytanee lam oota kitabiyah

26 And knew not what my reckoning!

26 And I had not known what my account was:

26 Walam adri ma hisabiyah

27 Oh, would that it had been death!

27 O would that it had made an end (of me):

27 Ya laytaha kanati alqadiyatu

28 My wealth hath not availed me,

28 My wealth has availed me nothing:

28 Ma aghna AAannee maliyah

29 My power hath gone from me.

29 My authority is gone away from me.

29 Halaka AAannee sultaniyah

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

30 Lay hold on him, then put a chain on him,

30 Khuthoohu faghulloohu

31 And then expose him to hell - fire

31 Then cast him into the burning fire,

31 Thumma aljaheema salloohu

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

32 Then thrust him into a chain the length of which is seventy cubits.

32 Thumma fee silsilatin tharAAuha sabAAoona thiraAAan faoslukoohu

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

33 Surely he did not believe in Allah, the Great,

33 Innahu kana la yuminu biAllahi alAAatheemi

34 And urged not on the feeding of the wretched.

34 Nor did he urge the feeding of the poor.

34 Wala yahuddu AAala taAAami almiskeeni

35 Therefor hath he no lover here this day,

35 Therefore he has not here today a true friend,

35 Falaysa lahu alyawma hahuna hameemun

36 Nor any food save filth

36 Nor any food except refuse,

36 Wala taAAamun illa min ghisleenin

37 Which none but sinners eat.

37 Which none but the wrongdoers eat.

37 La yakuluhu illa alkhatioona

38 But nay! I swear by all that ye see

38 But nay! I swear by that which you see,

38 Fala oqsimu bima tubsiroona

39 And all that ye see not

39 And that which you do not see.

39 Wama la tubsiroona

40 That it is indeed the speech of an illustrious messenger.

40 Most surely, it is the Word brought by an honored Apostle,

40 Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

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

41 And it is not the word of a poet; little is it that you believe;

41 Wama huwa biqawli shaAAirin qaleelan ma tuminoona

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

42 Nor the word of a soothsayer; little is it that you mind.

42 Wala biqawli kahinin qaleelan ma tathakkaroona

43 It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.

43 It is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

43 Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameena

44 And if he had invented false sayings concerning Us,

44 And if he had fabricated against Us some of the sayings,

44 Walaw taqawwala AAalayna baAAda alaqaweeli

45 We assuredly had taken him by the right hand

45 We would certainly have seized him by the right hand,

45 Laakhathna minhu bialyameeni

46 And then severed his life - artery,

46 Then We would certainly have cut off his aorta.

46 Thumma laqataAAna minhu alwateena

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

47 And not one of you could have withheld Us from him.

47 Fama minkum min ahadin AAanhu hajizeena

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

48 And most surely it is a reminder for those who guard (against evil).

48 Wainnahu latathkiratun lilmuttaqeena

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

49 And most surely We know that some of you are rejecters.

49 Wainna lanaAAlamu anna minkum mukaththibeena

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

50 And most surely it is a great grief to the unbelievers.

50 Wainnahu lahasratun AAala alkafireena

51 And lo! it is absolute truth.

51 And most surely it is the true certainty

51 Wainnahu lahaqqu alyaqeeni

52 So glorify the name of thy Tremendous Lord.

52 Therefore - glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
