আল হাক্বক্বাহ

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

1 Alhaqqatu

2 What is the Reality ?

2 Ma alhaqqatu

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

3 Wama adraka ma alhaqqatu

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

4 Kaththabat thamoodu waAAadun bialqariAAati

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

5 Faamma thamoodu faohlikoo bialttaghiyati

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

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 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 Fahal tara lahum min baqiyatin

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

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 FaAAasaw rasoola rabbihim faakhathahum akhthatan rabiyatan

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

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 LinajAAalaha lakum tathkiratan wataAAiyaha othunun waAAiyatun

13 And when the trumpet shall sound one 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 Wahumilati alardu waaljibalu fadukkata dakkatan wahidatan

15 Then, on that day will the Event befall.

15 Fayawmaithin waqaAAati alwaqiAAatu

16 And the heaven will split asunder, for that day it will 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 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 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 Faamma man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi fayaqoolu haomu iqraoo kitabiyah

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

20 Innee thanantu annee mulaqin hisabiyah

21 Then he will be in blissful state

21 Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin

22 In a high garden

22 Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

23 Whereof the clusters are in easy reach.

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 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 Waamma man ootiya kitabahu bishimalihi fayaqoolu ya laytanee lam oota kitabiyah

26 And knew not what my reckoning!

26 Walam adri ma hisabiyah

27 Oh, would that it had been death!

27 Ya laytaha kanati alqadiyatu

28 My wealth hath not availed me,

28 Ma aghna AAannee maliyah

29 My power hath gone from me.

29 Halaka AAannee sultaniyah

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

30 Khuthoohu faghulloohu

31 And then expose him to hell - fire

31 Thumma aljaheema salloohu

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

32 Thumma fee silsilatin tharAAuha sabAAoona thiraAAan faoslukoohu

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

33 Innahu kana la yuminu biAllahi alAAatheemi

34 And urged not on the feeding of the wretched.

34 Wala yahuddu AAala taAAami almiskeeni

35 Therefor hath he no lover here this day,

35 Falaysa lahu alyawma hahuna hameemun

36 Nor any food save filth

36 Wala taAAamun illa min ghisleenin

37 Which none but sinners eat.

37 La yakuluhu illa alkhatioona

38 But nay! I swear by all that ye see

38 Fala oqsimu bima tubsiroona

39 And all that ye see not

39 Wama la tubsiroona

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

40 Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

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

41 Wama huwa biqawli shaAAirin qaleelan ma tuminoona

42 Nor diviner's speech - little is it that ye 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 he had invented false sayings concerning Us,

44 Walaw taqawwala AAalayna baAAda alaqaweeli

45 We assuredly had taken him by the right hand

45 Laakhathna minhu bialyameeni

46 And then severed his life - artery,

46 Thumma laqataAAna minhu alwateena

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

47 Fama minkum min ahadin AAanhu hajizeena

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

48 Wainnahu latathkiratun lilmuttaqeena

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

49 Wainna lanaAAlamu anna minkum mukaththibeena

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

50 Wainnahu lahasratun AAala alkafireena

51 And lo! it is absolute truth.

51 Wainnahu lahaqqu alyaqeeni

52 So glorify the name of thy Tremendous Lord.

52 Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi
