Alhaqqatu
The Inevitable Reality -
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحاقة
Ma alhaqqatu
What is the Inevitable Reality?
ما الحاقة
Wama adraka ma alhaqqatu
And what can make you know what is the Inevitable Reality?
وما أدراك ما الحاقة
Kaththabat thamoodu waAAadun bialqariAAati
Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity.
كذبت ثمود وعاد بالقارعة
Faamma thamoodu faohlikoo bialttaghiyati
So as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].
فأما ثمود فأهلكوا بالطاغية
Waamma AAadun faohlikoo bireehin sarsarin AAatiyatin
And as for 'Aad, they were destroyed by a screaming, violent wind
وأما عاد فأهلكوا بريح صرصر عاتية
Sakhkharaha AAalayhim sabAAa layalin wathamaniyata ayyamin husooman fatara alqawma feeha sarAAa kaannahum aAAjazu nakhlin khawiyatun
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.
سخرها عليهم سبع ليال وثمانية أيام حسوما فترى القوم فيها صرعى كأنهم أعجاز نخل خاوية
Fahal tara lahum min baqiyatin
Then do you see of them any remains?
فهل ترى لهم من باقية
Wajaa firAAawnu waman qablahu waalmutafikatu bialkhatiati
And there came Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities with sin.
وجاء فرعون ومن قبله والمؤتفكات بالخاطئة
FaAAasaw rasoola rabbihim faakhathahum akhthatan rabiyatan
And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with a seizure exceeding [in severity].
فعصوا رسول ربهم فأخذهم أخذة رابية
Inna lamma tagha almao hamalnakum fee aljariyati
Indeed, when the water overflowed, We carried your ancestors in the sailing ship
إنا لما طغى الماء حملناكم في الجارية
LinajAAalaha lakum tathkiratan wataAAiyaha othunun waAAiyatun
That We might make it for you a reminder and [that] a conscious ear would be conscious of it.
لنجعلها لكم تذكرة وتعيها أذن واعية
Faitha nufikha fee alssoori nafkhatun wahidatun
Then when the Horn is blown with one blast
فإذا نفخ في الصور نفخة واحدة
Wahumilati alardu waaljibalu fadukkata dakkatan wahidatan
And the earth and the mountains are lifted and leveled with one blow -
وحملت الأرض والجبال فدكتا دكة واحدة
Fayawmaithin waqaAAati alwaqiAAatu
Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur,
فيومئذ وقعت الواقعة
Wainshaqqati alssamao fahiya yawmaithin wahiyatun
And the heaven will split [open], for that Day it is infirm.
وانشقت السماء فهي يومئذ واهية
Waalmalaku AAala arjaiha wayahmilu AAarsha rabbika fawqahum yawmaithin thamaniyatun
And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].
والملك على أرجائها ۚ ويحمل عرش ربك فوقهم يومئذ ثمانية
Yawmaithin tuAAradoona la takhfa minkum khafiyatun
That Day, you will be exhibited [for judgement]; not hidden among you is anything concealed.
يومئذ تعرضون لا تخفى منكم خافية
Faamma man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi fayaqoolu haomu iqraoo kitabiyah
So as for he who is given his record in his right hand, he will say, "Here, read my record!
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه فيقول هاؤم اقرءوا كتابيه
Innee thanantu annee mulaqin hisabiyah
Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."
إني ظننت أني ملاق حسابيه
Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin
So he will be in a pleasant life -
فهو في عيشة راضية
Fee jannatin AAaliyatin
In an elevated garden,
في جنة عالية
Qutoofuha daniyatun
Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.
قطوفها دانية
Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima aslaftum fee alayyami alkhaliyati
[They will be told], "Eat and drink in satisfaction for what you put forth in the days past."
كلوا واشربوا هنيئا بما أسلفتم في الأيام الخالية
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu bishimalihi fayaqoolu ya laytanee lam oota kitabiyah
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
وأما من أوتي كتابه بشماله فيقول يا ليتني لم أوت كتابيه
Walam adri ma hisabiyah
And had not known what is my account.
ولم أدر ما حسابيه
Ya laytaha kanati alqadiyatu
I wish my death had been the decisive one.
يا ليتها كانت القاضية
Ma aghna AAannee maliyah
My wealth has not availed me.
ما أغنى عني ماليه ۜ
Halaka AAannee sultaniyah
Gone from me is my authority."
هلك عني سلطانيه
Khuthoohu faghulloohu
[Allah will say], "Seize him and shackle him.
خذوه فغلوه
Thumma aljaheema salloohu
Then into Hellfire drive him.
ثم الجحيم صلوه
Thumma fee silsilatin tharAAuha sabAAoona thiraAAan faoslukoohu
Then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits insert him."
ثم في سلسلة ذرعها سبعون ذراعا فاسلكوه
Innahu kana la yuminu biAllahi alAAatheemi
Indeed, he did not used to believe in Allah, the Most Great,
إنه كان لا يؤمن بالله العظيم
Wala yahuddu AAala taAAami almiskeeni
Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.
ولا يحض على طعام المسكين
Falaysa lahu alyawma hahuna hameemun
So there is not for him here this Day any devoted friend
فليس له اليوم هاهنا حميم
Wala taAAamun illa min ghisleenin
Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;
ولا طعام إلا من غسلين
La yakuluhu illa alkhatioona
None will eat it except the sinners.
لا يأكله إلا الخاطئون
Fala oqsimu bima tubsiroona
So I swear by what you see
فلا أقسم بما تبصرون
Wama la tubsiroona
And what you do not see
وما لا تبصرون
Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin
[That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger.
إنه لقول رسول كريم
Wama huwa biqawli shaAAirin qaleelan ma tuminoona
And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.
وما هو بقول شاعر ۚ قليلا ما تؤمنون
Wala biqawli kahinin qaleelan ma tathakkaroona
Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.
ولا بقول كاهن ۚ قليلا ما تذكرون
Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameena
[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
تنزيل من رب العالمين
Walaw taqawwala AAalayna baAAda alaqaweeli
And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings,
ولو تقول علينا بعض الأقاويل
Laakhathna minhu bialyameeni
We would have seized him by the right hand;
لأخذنا منه باليمين
Thumma laqataAAna minhu alwateena
Then We would have cut from him the aorta.
ثم لقطعنا منه الوتين
Fama minkum min ahadin AAanhu hajizeena
And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.
فما منكم من أحد عنه حاجزين
Wainnahu latathkiratun lilmuttaqeena
And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous.
وإنه لتذكرة للمتقين
Wainna lanaAAlamu anna minkum mukaththibeena
And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.
وإنا لنعلم أن منكم مكذبين
Wainnahu lahasratun AAala alkafireena
And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.
وإنه لحسرة على الكافرين
Wainnahu lahaqqu alyaqeeni
And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.
وإنه لحق اليقين
Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
فسبح باسم ربك العظيم
