1 The Sure Reality!

1 Alhaqqatu

2 What is the Sure Reality?

2 Ma alhaqqatu

3 And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is?

3 Wama adraka ma alhaqqatu

4 The Thamud and the 'Ad People (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity!

4 Kaththabat thamoodu waAAadun bialqariAAati

5 But the Thamud, - they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning!

5 Faamma thamoodu faohlikoo bialttaghiyati

6 And the 'Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent;

6 Waamma AAadun faohlikoo bireehin sarsarin AAatiyatin

7 He made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: so that thou couldst see the (whole) people lying prostrate in its (path), as they had been roots of hollow palm - trees tumbled down!

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

8 Then seest thou any of them left surviving?

8 Fahal tara lahum min baqiyatin

9 And Pharaoh, and those before him, and the Cities Overthrown, committed habitual Sin.

9 Wajaa firAAawnu waman qablahu waalmutafikatu bialkhatiati

10 And disobeyed (each) the messenger of their Lord; so He punished them with an abundant Penalty.

10 FaAAasaw rasoola rabbihim faakhathahum akhthatan rabiyatan

11 We, when the water (of Noah's Flood) overflowed beyond its limits, carried you (mankind), in the floating (Ark),

11 Inna lamma tagha almao hamalnakum fee aljariyati

12 That We might make it a Message unto you, and that ears (that should hear the tale and) retain its memory should bear its (lessons) in remembrance.

12 LinajAAalaha lakum tathkiratan wataAAiyaha othunun waAAiyatun

13 Then, when one blast is sounded on the Trumpet,

13 Faitha nufikha fee alssoori nafkhatun wahidatun

14 And the earth is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed to powder at one stroke, -

14 Wahumilati alardu waaljibalu fadukkata dakkatan wahidatan

15 On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass.

15 Fayawmaithin waqaAAati alwaqiAAatu

16 And the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy,

16 Wainshaqqati alssamao fahiya yawmaithin wahiyatun

17 And the angels will be on its sides, and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of thy Lord above them.

17 Waalmalaku AAala arjaiha wayahmilu AAarsha rabbika fawqahum yawmaithin thamaniyatun

18 That Day shall ye be brought to Judgment: not an act of yours that ye hide will be hidden.

18 Yawmaithin tuAAradoona la takhfa minkum khafiyatun

19 Then he that will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Ah here! Read ye my Record!

19 Faamma man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi fayaqoolu haomu iqraoo kitabiyah

20 "I did really understand that my Account would (One Day) reach me!"

20 Innee thanantu annee mulaqin hisabiyah

21 And he will be in a life of Bliss,

21 Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin

22 In a Garden on high,

22 Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

23 The Fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near.

23 Qutoofuha daniyatun

24 "Eat ye and drink ye, with full satisfaction; because of the (good) that ye sent before you, in the days that are gone!"

24 Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima aslaftum fee alayyami alkhaliyati

25 And he that will be given his Record in his left hand, will say: "Ah! Would that my Record had not been given to me!

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

26 "And that I had never realised how my account (stood)!

26 Walam adri ma hisabiyah

27 "Ah! Would that (Death) had made an end of me!

27 Ya laytaha kanati alqadiyatu

28 "Of no profit to me has been my wealth!

28 Ma aghna AAannee maliyah

29 "My power has perished from me!"...

29 Halaka AAannee sultaniyah

30 (The stern command will say): "Seize ye him, and bind ye him,

30 Khuthoohu faghulloohu

31 "And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire.

31 Thumma aljaheema salloohu

32 "Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits!

32 Thumma fee silsilatin tharAAuha sabAAoona thiraAAan faoslukoohu

33 "This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High.

33 Innahu kana la yuminu biAllahi alAAatheemi

34 "And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent!

34 Wala yahuddu AAala taAAami almiskeeni

35 "So no friend hath he here this Day.

35 Falaysa lahu alyawma hahuna hameemun

36 "Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds,

36 Wala taAAamun illa min ghisleenin

37 "Which none do eat but those in sin."

37 La yakuluhu illa alkhatioona

38 So I do call to witness what ye see,

38 Fala oqsimu bima tubsiroona

39 And what ye see not,

39 Wama la tubsiroona

40 That this is verily the word of an honoured messenger;

40 Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

41 It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe!

41 Wama huwa biqawli shaAAirin qaleelan ma tuminoona

42 Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye receive.

42 Wala biqawli kahinin qaleelan ma tathakkaroona

43 (This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds.

43 Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameena

44 And if the messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name,

44 Walaw taqawwala AAalayna baAAda alaqaweeli

45 We should certainly seize him by his right hand,

45 Laakhathna minhu bialyameeni

46 And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:

46 Thumma laqataAAna minhu alwateena

47 Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath).

47 Fama minkum min ahadin AAanhu hajizeena

48 But verily this is a Message for the Allah - fearing.

48 Wainnahu latathkiratun lilmuttaqeena

49 And We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject (it).

49 Wainna lanaAAlamu anna minkum mukaththibeena

50 But truly (Revelation) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers.

50 Wainnahu lahasratun AAala alkafireena

51 But verily it is Truth of assured certainty.

51 Wainnahu lahaqqu alyaqeeni

52 So glorify the name of thy Lord Most High.

52 Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi
