আল হাক্কাহ্ (অবশ্যম্ভাবী ঘটনা)

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Inevitable (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)!

1 The Inevitable Reality -

2 What is the Inevitable?

2 What is the Inevitable Reality?

3 And what will make you know what the Inevitable is?

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

4 Thamud and 'Ad people denied the Qari'ah (the striking Hour of Judgement)!

4 Thamud and 'Aad denied the Striking Calamity.

5 As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the awful cry!

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

6 And as for 'Ad, they were destroyed by a furious violent wind!

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

7 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!

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.

8 Do you see any remnants of them?

8 Then do you see of them any remains?

9 And Fir'aun (Pharaoh), and those before him, and the cities overthrown [the towns of the people of [Lut (Lot)] committed sin.

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

10 And they disobeyed their Lord's Messenger, so He seized them with a strong punishment.

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

11 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)]

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

12 That We might make it (Noah's ship) an admonition for you and that it might be retained by the retaining ears.

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

13 Then when the Trumpet will be blown with one blowing (the first one).

13 Then when the Horn is blown with one blast

14 And the earth and the mountains shall be removed from their places, and crushed with a single crushing.

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

15 Then on that Day shall the (Great) Event befall.

15 Then on that Day, the Resurrection will occur,

16 And the heaven will be rent asunder, for that Day it (the heaven) will be frail and torn up.

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

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

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

18 That Day shall you be brought to Judgement, not a secret of you will be hidden.

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

19 Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Here! read my Record!

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

20 "Surely, I did believe that I shall meet my Account!"

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

21 So he shall be in a life, well-pleasing.

21 So he will be in a pleasant life -

22 In a lofty Paradise,

22 In an elevated garden,

23 The fruits in bunches whereof will be low and near at hand.

23 Its [fruit] to be picked hanging near.

24 Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent on before you in days past!

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

25 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!

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

26 "And that I had never known how my Account is!

26 And had not known what is my account.

27 "Would that it had been my end (death)!

27 I wish my death had been the decisive one.

28 "My wealth has not availed me;

28 My wealth has not availed me.

29 "My power (and arguments to defend myself) have gone from me!"

29 Gone from me is my authority."

30 (It will be said): "Seize him and fetter him;

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

31 Then throw him in the blazing Fire.

31 Then into Hellfire drive him.

32 "Then fasten him with a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits!"

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

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

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

34 And urged not on the feeding of Al-Miskin (the poor).

34 Nor did he encourage the feeding of the poor.

35 So no friend has he here this Day,

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

36 Nor any food except filth from the washing of wounds.

36 Nor any food except from the discharge of wounds;

37 None will eat it except the Khati'un (sinners, disbelievers, polytheists).

37 None will eat it except the sinners.

38 So I swear by whatsoever you see,

38 So I swear by what you see

39 And by whatsoever you see not,

39 And what you do not see

40 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].

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

41 It is not the word of a poet: little is that you believe!

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

42 Nor is it the word of a soothsayer (or a foreteller): little is that you remember!

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

43 This is the Revelation sent down from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).

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

44 And if he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allah جل جلاله),

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

45 We surely would have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might),

45 We would have seized him by the right hand;

46 And then We certainly would have cut off his life artery (aorta),

46 Then We would have cut from him the aorta.

47 And none of you could have withheld Us from (punishing) him.

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

48 And verily, this (Qur'an) is a Reminder for the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2).

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

49 And verily, We know that there are some among you that belie (this Qur'an). (Tafsir At-Tabari)

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

50 And indeed it (this Qur'an) will be an anguish for the disbelievers (on the Day of Resurrection).

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

51 And verily, it (this Qur'an) is an absolute truth with certainty.

51 And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.

52 So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.

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