আল হাক্বক্বাহ

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

1 Alhaqqatu

2 What is the Inevitable?

2 Ma alhaqqatu

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

3 Wama adraka ma alhaqqatu

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

4 Kaththabat thamoodu waAAadun bialqariAAati

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

5 Faamma thamoodu faohlikoo bialttaghiyati

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

6 Waamma AAadun faohlikoo bireehin sarsarin AAatiyatin

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

8 Do you see any remnants of them?

8 Fahal tara lahum min baqiyatin

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

9 Wajaa firAAawnu waman qablahu waalmutafikatu bialkhatiati

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

10 FaAAasaw rasoola rabbihim faakhathahum akhthatan rabiyatan

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 Inna lamma tagha almao hamalnakum fee aljariyati

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

12 LinajAAalaha lakum tathkiratan wataAAiyaha othunun waAAiyatun

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

13 Faitha nufikha fee alssoori nafkhatun wahidatun

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

14 Wahumilati alardu waaljibalu fadukkata dakkatan wahidatan

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

15 Fayawmaithin waqaAAati alwaqiAAatu

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

16 Wainshaqqati alssamao fahiya yawmaithin wahiyatun

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

17 Waalmalaku AAala arjaiha wayahmilu AAarsha rabbika fawqahum yawmaithin thamaniyatun

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

18 Yawmaithin tuAAradoona la takhfa minkum khafiyatun

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

19 Faamma man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi fayaqoolu haomu iqraoo kitabiyah

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

20 Innee thanantu annee mulaqin hisabiyah

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

21 Fahuwa fee AAeeshatin radiyatin

22 In a lofty Paradise,

22 Fee jannatin AAaliyatin

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

23 Qutoofuha daniyatun

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

24 Kuloo waishraboo haneean bima aslaftum fee alayyami alkhaliyati

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 Waamma man ootiya kitabahu bishimalihi fayaqoolu ya laytanee lam oota kitabiyah

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

26 Walam adri ma hisabiyah

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

27 Ya laytaha kanati alqadiyatu

28 "My wealth has not availed me;

28 Ma aghna AAannee maliyah

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

29 Halaka AAannee sultaniyah

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

30 Khuthoohu faghulloohu

31 Then throw him in the blazing Fire.

31 Thumma aljaheema salloohu

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

32 Thumma fee silsilatin tharAAuha sabAAoona thiraAAan faoslukoohu

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

33 Innahu kana la yuminu biAllahi alAAatheemi

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

34 Wala yahuddu AAala taAAami almiskeeni

35 So no friend has he here this Day,

35 Falaysa lahu alyawma hahuna hameemun

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

36 Wala taAAamun illa min ghisleenin

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

37 La yakuluhu illa alkhatioona

38 So I swear by whatsoever you see,

38 Fala oqsimu bima tubsiroona

39 And by whatsoever you see not,

39 Wama la tubsiroona

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 Innahu laqawlu rasoolin kareemin

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

41 Wama huwa biqawli shaAAirin qaleelan ma tuminoona

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

42 Wala biqawli kahinin qaleelan ma tathakkaroona

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

43 Tanzeelun min rabbi alAAalameena

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

44 Walaw taqawwala AAalayna baAAda alaqaweeli

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

45 Laakhathna minhu bialyameeni

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

46 Thumma laqataAAna minhu alwateena

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

47 Fama minkum min ahadin AAanhu hajizeena

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

48 Wainnahu latathkiratun lilmuttaqeena

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

49 Wainna lanaAAlamu anna minkum mukaththibeena

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

50 Wainnahu lahasratun AAala alkafireena

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

51 Wainnahu lahaqqu alyaqeeni

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

52 Fasabbih biismi rabbika alAAatheemi
