بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحاقة
Alhaqqatu
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Inevitable (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)!
ٱلْحَآقَّةُ
ما الحاقة
Ma alhaqqatu
What is the Inevitable?
مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ
وما أدراك ما الحاقة
Wama adraka ma alhaqqatu
And what will make you know what the Inevitable is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ
كذبت ثمود وعاد بالقارعة
Kaththabat thamoodu waAAadun bialqariAAati
Thamud and 'Ad people denied the Qari'ah (the striking Hour of Judgement)!
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌۢ بِٱلْقَارِعَةِ
فأما ثمود فأهلكوا بالطاغية
Faamma thamoodu faohlikoo bialttaghiyati
As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the awful cry!
فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ
وأما عاد فأهلكوا بريح صرصر عاتية
Waamma AAadun faohlikoo bireehin sarsarin AAatiyatin
And as for 'Ad, they were destroyed by a furious violent wind!
وَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِرِيحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍ
سخرها عليهم سبع ليال وثمانية أيام حسوما فترى القوم فيها صرعى كأنهم أعجاز نخل خاوية
Sakhkharaha AAalayhim sabAAa layalin wathamaniyata ayyamin husooman fatara alqawma feeha sarAAa kaannahum aAAjazu nakhlin khawiyatun
Which Allah imposed on them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so that you could see men lying overthrown (destroyed), as if they were hollow trunks of date-palms!
سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا فَتَرَى ٱلْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ
فهل ترى لهم من باقية
Fahal tara lahum min baqiyatin
Do you see any remnants of them?
فَهَلْ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٍ
وجاء فرعون ومن قبله والمؤتفكات بالخاطئة
Wajaa firAAawnu waman qablahu waalmutafikatu bialkhatiati
And Fir'aun (Pharaoh), and those before him, and the cities overthrown [the towns of the people of [Lut (Lot)] committed sin.
وَجَآءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَٰتُ بِٱلْخَاطِئَةِ
فعصوا رسول ربهم فأخذهم أخذة رابية
FaAAasaw rasoola rabbihim faakhathahum akhthatan rabiyatan
And they disobeyed their Lord's Messenger, so He seized them with a strong punishment.
فَعَصَوْا۟ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةً رَّابِيَةً
إنا لما طغى الماء حملناكم في الجارية
Inna lamma tagha almao hamalnakum fee aljariyati
Verily, when the water rose beyond its limits [Nuh's (Noah) Flood], We carried you (mankind) in the floating [ship that was constructed by Nuh (Noah)]
إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلْمَآءُ حَمَلْنَٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْجَارِيَةِ
لنجعلها لكم تذكرة وتعيها أذن واعية
LinajAAalaha lakum tathkiratan wataAAiyaha othunun waAAiyatun
That We might make it (Noah's ship) an admonition for you and that it might be retained by the retaining ears.
لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٌ وَٰعِيَةٌ
فإذا نفخ في الصور نفخة واحدة
Faitha nufikha fee alssoori nafkhatun wahidatun
Then when the Trumpet will be blown with one blowing (the first one).
فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ
وحملت الأرض والجبال فدكتا دكة واحدة
Wahumilati alardu waaljibalu fadukkata dakkatan wahidatan
And the earth and the mountains shall be removed from their places, and crushed with a single crushing.
وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَٰحِدَةً
فيومئذ وقعت الواقعة
Fayawmaithin waqaAAati alwaqiAAatu
Then on that Day shall the (Great) Event befall.
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ
وانشقت السماء فهي يومئذ واهية
Wainshaqqati alssamao fahiya yawmaithin wahiyatun
And the heaven will be rent asunder, for that Day it (the heaven) will be frail and torn up.
وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاهِيَةٌ
والملك على أرجائها ۚ ويحمل عرش ربك فوقهم يومئذ ثمانية
Waalmalaku AAala arjaiha wayahmilu AAarsha rabbika fawqahum yawmaithin thamaniyatun
And the angels will be on its sides, and eight angels will, that Day, bear the Throne of your Lord above them.
وَٱلْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرْجَآئِهَا وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَٰنِيَةٌ
يومئذ تعرضون لا تخفى منكم خافية
Yawmaithin tuAAradoona la takhfa minkum khafiyatun
That Day shall you be brought to Judgement, not a secret of you will be hidden.
يَوْمَئِذٍ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه فيقول هاؤم اقرءوا كتابيه
Faamma man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi fayaqoolu haomu iqraoo kitabiyah
Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Here! read my Record!
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُوا۟ كِتَٰبِيَهْ
إني ظننت أني ملاق حسابيه
Innee thanantu annee mulaqin hisabiyah
"Surely, I did believe that I shall meet my Account!"
إِنِّى ظَنَنتُ أَنِّى مُلَٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ
فهو في عيشة راضية
Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin
So he shall be in a life, well-pleasing.
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
في جنة عالية
Fee jannatin AAaliyatin
In a lofty Paradise,
فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ
قطوفها دانية
Qutoofuha daniyatun
The fruits in bunches whereof will be low and near at hand.
قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ
كلوا واشربوا هنيئا بما أسلفتم في الأيام الخالية
Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima aslaftum fee alayyami alkhaliyati
Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent on before you in days past!
كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَآ أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْخَالِيَةِ
وأما من أوتي كتابه بشماله فيقول يا ليتني لم أوت كتابيه
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu bishimalihi fayaqoolu ya laytanee lam oota kitabiyah
But as for him who will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: "I wish that I had not been given my Record!
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى لَمْ أُوتَ كِتَٰبِيَهْ
ولم أدر ما حسابيه
Walam adri ma hisabiyah
"And that I had never known how my Account is!
وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ
يا ليتها كانت القاضية
Ya laytaha kanati alqadiyatu
"Would that it had been my end (death)!
يَٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْقَاضِيَةَ
ما أغنى عني ماليه ۜ
Ma aghna AAannee maliyah
"My wealth has not availed me;
مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنِّى مَالِيَهْ
هلك عني سلطانيه
Halaka AAannee sultaniyah
"My power (and arguments to defend myself) have gone from me!"
هَلَكَ عَنِّى سُلْطَٰنِيَهْ
خذوه فغلوه
Khuthoohu faghulloohu
(It will be said): "Seize him and fetter him;
خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ
ثم الجحيم صلوه
Thumma aljaheema salloohu
Then throw him in the blazing Fire.
ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ
ثم في سلسلة ذرعها سبعون ذراعا فاسلكوه
Thumma fee silsilatin tharAAuha sabAAoona thiraAAan faoslukoohu
"Then fasten him with a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits!"
ثُمَّ فِى سِلْسِلَةٍ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا فَٱسْلُكُوهُ
إنه كان لا يؤمن بالله العظيم
Innahu kana la yuminu biAllahi alAAatheemi
Verily, he used not to believe in Allah, the Most Great,
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
ولا يحض على طعام المسكين
Wala yahuddu AAala taAAami almiskeeni
And urged not on the feeding of Al-Miskin (the poor).
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ
فليس له اليوم هاهنا حميم
Falaysa lahu alyawma hahuna hameemun
So no friend has he here this Day,
فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌ
ولا طعام إلا من غسلين
Wala taAAamun illa min ghisleenin
Nor any food except filth from the washing of wounds.
وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍ
لا يأكله إلا الخاطئون
La yakuluhu illa alkhatioona
None will eat it except the Khati'un (sinners, disbelievers, polytheists).
لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَٰطِـُٔونَ
فلا أقسم بما تبصرون
Fala oqsimu bima tubsiroona
So I swear by whatsoever you see,
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ
وما لا تبصرون
Wama la tubsiroona
And by whatsoever you see not,
وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ
إنه لقول رسول كريم
Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin
That this is verily, the word of an honoured Messenger [i.e. Jibril (Gabriel) or Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم which he has brought from Allah].
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
وما هو بقول شاعر ۚ قليلا ما تؤمنون
Wama huwa biqawli shaAAirin qaleelan ma tuminoona
It is not the word of a poet: little is that you believe!
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ قَلِيلًا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ
ولا بقول كاهن ۚ قليلا ما تذكرون
Wala biqawli kahinin qaleelan ma tathakkaroona
Nor is it the word of a soothsayer (or a foreteller): little is that you remember!
وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ
تنزيل من رب العالمين
Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameena
This is the Revelation sent down from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
ولو تقول علينا بعض الأقاويل
Walaw taqawwala AAalayna baAAda alaqaweeli
And if he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allah جل جلاله),
وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ
لأخذنا منه باليمين
Laakhathna minhu bialyameeni
We surely would have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might),
لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ
ثم لقطعنا منه الوتين
Thumma laqataAAna minhu alwateena
And then We certainly would have cut off his life artery (aorta),
ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ
فما منكم من أحد عنه حاجزين
Fama minkum min ahadin AAanhu hajizeena
And none of you could have withheld Us from (punishing) him.
فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَٰجِزِينَ
وإنه لتذكرة للمتقين
Wainnahu latathkiratun lilmuttaqeena
And verily, this (Qur'an) is a Reminder for the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2).
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ
وإنا لنعلم أن منكم مكذبين
Wainna lanaAAlamu anna minkum mukaththibeena
And verily, We know that there are some among you that belie (this Qur'an). (Tafsir At-Tabari)
وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ
وإنه لحسرة على الكافرين
Wainnahu lahasratun AAala alkafireena
And indeed it (this Qur'an) will be an anguish for the disbelievers (on the Day of Resurrection).
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ
وإنه لحق اليقين
Wainnahu lahaqqu alyaqeeni
And verily, it (this Qur'an) is an absolute truth with certainty.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ
فسبح باسم ربك العظيم
Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi
So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
