1 The Inevitable Reality -

1 Alhaqqatu

2 What is the Inevitable Reality?

2 Ma alhaqqatu

3 And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?

3 Wama adraka ma alhaqqatu

4 Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity.

4 Kaththabat thamoodu waAAadun bialqariAAati

5 So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].

5 Faamma thamoodu faohlikoo bialttaghiyati

6 And as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind

6 Waamma AAadun faohlikoo bireehin sarsarin AAatiyatin

7 Which Allah imposed upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so you would see the people therein fallen as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees.

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

8 Then do you see of them any remains?

8 Fahal tara lahum min baqiyatin

9 And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.

9 Wajaa firAAawnu waman qablahu waalmutafikatu bialkhatiati

10 And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].

10 FaAAasaw rasoola rabbihim faakhathahum akhthatan rabiyatan

11 Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing ship

11 Inna lamma tagha almao hamalnakum fee aljariyati

12 That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it.

12 LinajAAalaha lakum tathkiratan wataAAiyaha othunun waAAiyatun

13 Then when the Horn is blown with one blast

13 Faitha nufikha fee alssoori nafkhatun wahidatun

14 And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow -

14 Wahumilati alardu waaljibalu fadukkata dakkatan wahidatan

15 Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur,

15 Fayawmaithin waqaAAati alwaqiAAatu

16 And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.

16 Wainshaqqati alssamao fahiya yawmaithin wahiyatun

17 And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].

17 Waalmalaku AAala arjaiha wayahmilu AAarsha rabbika fawqahum yawmaithin thamaniyatun

18 That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.

18 Yawmaithin tuAAradoona la takhfa minkum khafiyatun

19 So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!

19 Faamma man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi fayaqoolu haomu iqraoo kitabiyah

20 Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."

20 Innee thanantu annee mulaqin hisabiyah

21 So he will be in a pleasant life -

21 Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin

22 In an elevated garden,

22 Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

23 Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.

23 Qutoofuha daniyatun

24 [They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past."

24 Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima aslaftum fee alayyami alkhaliyati

25 But as for he who is given his record in his left hand, he will say, "Oh, I wish I had not been given my record

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

26 And had not known what is my account.

26 Walam adri ma hisabiyah

27 I wish my death had been the decisive one.

27 Ya laytaha kanati alqadiyatu

28 My wealth has not availed me.

28 Ma aghna AAannee maliyah

29 Gone from me is my authority."

29 Halaka AAannee sultaniyah

30 [Allah will say], "Seize him and shackle him.

30 Khuthoohu faghulloohu

31 Then into Hellfire drive him.

31 Thumma aljaheema salloohu

32 Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."

32 Thumma fee silsilatin tharAAuha sabAAoona thiraAAan faoslukoohu

33 Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allah, the Most Great,

33 Innahu kana la yuminu biAllahi alAAatheemi

34 Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.

34 Wala yahuddu AAala taAAami almiskeeni

35 So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend

35 Falaysa lahu alyawma hahuna hameemun

36 Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;

36 Wala taAAamun illa min ghisleenin

37 None will eat it except the sinners.

37 La yakuluhu illa alkhatioona

38 So I swear by what you see

38 Fala oqsimu bima tubsiroona

39 And what you do not see

39 Wama la tubsiroona

40 [That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger.

40 Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

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

41 Wama huwa biqawli shaAAirin qaleelan ma tuminoona

42 Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.

42 Wala biqawli kahinin qaleelan ma tathakkaroona

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

43 Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameena

44 And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings,

44 Walaw taqawwala AAalayna baAAda alaqaweeli

45 We would have seized him by the right hand;

45 Laakhathna minhu bialyameeni

46 Then We would have cut from him the aorta.

46 Thumma laqataAAna minhu alwateena

47 And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.

47 Fama minkum min ahadin AAanhu hajizeena

48 And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous.

48 Wainnahu latathkiratun lilmuttaqeena

49 And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.

49 Wainna lanaAAlamu anna minkum mukaththibeena

50 And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.

50 Wainnahu lahasratun AAala alkafireena

51 And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.

51 Wainnahu lahaqqu alyaqeeni

52 So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

52 Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi
