69. Al-Haaqqa

ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝١

اَلۡحَـآقَّةُ ۙ‏ ۝١

69:1 The Imminent Happening!

مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝٢

مَا الۡحَـآقَّةُ​ ۚ‏ ۝٢

69:2 What is the Imminent Happening?

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحَآقَّةُ ۝٣

وَمَاۤ اَدۡرٰٮكَ مَا الۡحَــآقَّةُ ؕ‏ ۝٣

69:3 And what can let you know what the Imminent happening is?

كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌۢ بِٱلْقَارِعَةِ ۝٤

كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُوۡدُ وَعَادٌۢ بِالۡقَارِعَةِ‏ ۝٤

69:4 Thamūd and ‘Ād had denied (the happening of) the Shocking Event (the Day of Judgment).

فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِٱلطَّاغِيَةِ ۝٥

فَاَمَّا ثَمُوۡدُ فَاُهۡلِكُوۡا بِالطَّاغِيَةِ‏ ۝٥

69:5 As for Thamūd, they were destroyed by that (dreadful cry), which exceeded all limits.

وَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَأُهْلِكُوا۟ بِرِيحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍ ۝٦

وَاَمَّا عَادٌ فَاُهۡلِكُوۡا بِرِيۡحٍ صَرۡصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍۙ‏ ۝٦

69:6 And as for ‘Ād, they were destroyed by a violent windstorm

سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا فَتَرَى ٱلْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ ۝٧

سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ سَبۡعَ لَيَالٍ وَّثَمٰنِيَةَ اَيَّامٍۙ حُسُوۡمًا ۙ فَتَرَى الۡقَوۡمَ فِيۡهَا صَرۡعٰىۙ كَاَنَّهُمۡ اَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ​ ۚ‏ ۝٧

69:7 that He imposed on them for seven nights and eight consecutive days; so you could see them thrown on the ground, as if they were trunks of hollow palm-trees.

فَهَلْ تَرَىٰ لَهُم مِّنۢ بَاقِيَةٍ ۝٨

فَهَلۡ تَرٰى لَهُمۡ مِّنۡۢ بَاقِيَةٍ‏ ۝٨

69:8 Now, do you see any remnant of them?

وَجَآءَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُۥ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَٰتُ بِٱلْخَاطِئَةِ ۝٩

وَجَآءَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَنۡ قَبۡلَهٗ وَالۡمُؤۡتَفِكٰتُ بِالۡخَـاطِئَةِ​ۚ‏ ۝٩

69:9 And Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) and those before him and the overthrown towns came up with evil,

فَعَصَوْا۟ رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةً رَّابِيَةً ۝١٠

فَعَصَوۡا رَسُوۡلَ رَبِّهِمۡ فَاَخَذَهُمۡ اَخۡذَةً رَّابِيَةً‏ ۝١٠

69:10 and they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with an extremely severe seizure.

إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا ٱلْمَآءُ حَمَلْنَٰكُمْ فِى ٱلْجَارِيَةِ ۝١١

اِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَا الۡمَآءُ حَمَلۡنٰكُمۡ فِى الۡجَارِيَةِ ۙ‏ ۝١١

69:11 When the water overflowed (in the Deluge of NūH), We let you (O mankind,) board the floating ship,

لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَتَعِيَهَآ أُذُنٌ وَٰعِيَةٌ ۝١٢

لِنَجۡعَلَهَا لَـكُمۡ تَذۡكِرَةً وَّتَعِيَهَاۤ اُذُنٌ وَّاعِيَةٌ‏ ۝١٢

69:12 so that We make it a reminder for you, and so that a preserving ear (that hears their story) may preserve it.

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ ۝١٣

فَاِذَا نُفِخَ فِى الصُّوۡرِ نَفۡخَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌ ۙ‏ ۝١٣

69:13 Then, once the Trumpet will be blown for the first time,

وَحُمِلَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَٰحِدَةً ۝١٤

وَحُمِلَتِ الۡاَرۡضُ وَ الۡجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَّاحِدَةً ۙ‏ ۝١٤

69:14 and the earth and the mountains will be lifted and crushed into pieces with a single blow,

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ ۝١٥

فَيَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ وَّقَعَتِ الۡوَاقِعَةُ ۙ‏ ۝١٥

69:15 then on that Day the Happening will happen,

وَٱنشَقَّتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاهِيَةٌ ۝١٦

وَانْشَقَّتِ السَّمَآءُ فَهِىَ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ وَّاهِيَةٌ ۙ‏ ۝١٦

69:16 and the sky will burst apart, while it will have become frail on that day.

وَٱلْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرْجَآئِهَا ۚ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَٰنِيَةٌ ۝١٧

وَّالۡمَلَكُ عَلٰٓى اَرۡجَآٮِٕهَا ​ؕ وَيَحۡمِلُ عَرۡشَ رَبِّكَ فَوۡقَهُمۡ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ ثَمٰنِيَةٌ ؕ‏ ۝١٧

69:17 And the angels will be on its borders. And on that Day, the Throne of your Lord will be carried above them by eight (angels).

يَوْمَئِذٍ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ ۝١٨

يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ تُعۡرَضُوۡنَ لَا تَخۡفٰى مِنۡكُمۡ خَافِيَةٌ‏ ۝١٨

69:18 On that day, you will be brought forward in a way that no secret of yours will remain secret.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُوا۟ كِتَٰبِيَهْ ۝١٩

فَاَمَّا مَنۡ اُوۡتِىَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِيَمِيۡنِهٖۙ فَيَقُوۡلُ هَآؤُمُ اقۡرَءُوۡا كِتٰبِيَهۡ​ۚ‏ ۝١٩

69:19 Now, as for him who is given his book in his right hand, he will say (to his colleagues), “Come here, read my book.

إِنِّى ظَنَنتُ أَنِّى مُلَٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ ۝٢٠

اِنِّىۡ ظَنَنۡتُ اَنِّىۡ مُلٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهۡ​ۚ‏ ۝٢٠

69:20 I was sure that I would encounter my reckoning.”

فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ ۝٢١

فَهُوَ فِىۡ عِيۡشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍۙ‏ ۝٢١

69:21 So he will be in a well-pleasing life

فِى جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ ۝٢٢

فِىۡ جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍۙ‏ ۝٢٢

69:22 in a lofty garden,

قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ ۝٢٣

قُطُوۡفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ‏ ۝٢٣

69:23 the fruits of which will be close at hand.

كُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ هَنِيٓـًٔۢا بِمَآ أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْخَالِيَةِ ۝٢٤

كُلُوۡا وَاشۡرَبُوۡا هَنِيۡٓـــًٔا ۢ بِمَاۤ اَسۡلَفۡتُمۡ فِى الۡاَيَّامِ الۡخَـالِيَةِ‏  ۝٢٤

69:24 (It will be said to such people,) “Eat and drink with pleasure, as a reward for what you did in advance during past days.”

وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِشِمَالِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى لَمْ أُوتَ كِتَٰبِيَهْ ۝٢٥

وَاَمَّا مَنۡ اُوۡتِىَ كِتٰبَهٗ بِشِمَالِهٖ  ۙ فَيَقُوۡلُ يٰلَيۡتَنِىۡ لَمۡ اُوۡتَ كِتٰبِيَهۡ​ۚ‏ ۝٢٥

69:25 As for him who will be given his book in his left hand, he will say, “ Oh, would that I had not been given my book,

وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهْ ۝٢٦

وَلَمۡ اَدۡرِ مَا حِسَابِيَهۡ​ۚ‏ ۝٢٦

69:26 and I had never known what my account is!

يَٰلَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ ٱلْقَاضِيَةَ ۝٢٧

يٰلَيۡتَهَا كَانَتِ الۡقَاضِيَةَ​ ۚ‏ ۝٢٧

69:27 Oh, would that it (death) had been the end of the matter!

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنِّى مَالِيَهْ ۜ ۝٢٨

مَاۤ اَغۡنٰى عَنِّىۡ مَالِيَهۡۚ‏ ۝٢٨

69:28 My wealth has not been of any use to me.

هَلَكَ عَنِّى سُلْطَٰنِيَهْ ۝٢٩

هَلَكَ عَنِّىۡ سُلۡطٰنِيَهۡ​ۚ‏ ۝٢٩

69:29 My power has gone from me for good.”

خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ ۝٣٠

خُذُوۡهُ فَغُلُّوۡهُ ۙ‏ ۝٣٠

69:30 (Then it will be said to angels,) “Seize him, then put a collar around his neck,

ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ ۝٣١

ثُمَّ الۡجَحِيۡمَ صَلُّوۡهُ ۙ‏ ۝٣١

69:31 and then, let him burn in the blazing fire.

ثُمَّ فِى سِلْسِلَةٍ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا فَٱسْلُكُوهُ ۝٣٢

ثُمَّ فِىۡ سِلۡسِلَةٍ ذَرۡعُهَا سَبۡعُوۡنَ ذِرَاعًا فَاسۡلُكُوۡهُ ؕ‏ ۝٣٢

69:32 Thereafter, fasten him with a chain the measure of which is seventy hands.”

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝٣٣

اِنَّهٗ كَانَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ الۡعَظِيۡمِۙ‏ ۝٣٣

69:33 Indeed, he did not believe in Allah, the Almighty,

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ۝٣٤

وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلٰى طَعَامِ الۡمِسۡكِيۡنِؕ‏ ۝٣٤

69:34 and did not persuade (others) to feed the needy.

فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌ ۝٣٥

فَلَيۡسَ لَـهُ الۡيَوۡمَ هٰهُنَا حَمِيۡمٌۙ‏ ۝٣٥

69:35 So, he has no friend here today,

وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍ ۝٣٦

وَّلَا طَعَامٌ اِلَّا مِنۡ غِسۡلِيۡنٍۙ‏ ۝٣٦

69:36 nor any food except that which comes out from wounds when washing,

لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَٰطِـُٔونَ ۝٣٧

لَّا يَاۡكُلُهٗۤ اِلَّا الۡخٰطِئُوْنَ‏ ۝٣٧

69:37 which is eaten by none but the sinners.

فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝٣٨

فَلَاۤ اُقۡسِمُ بِمَا تُبۡصِرُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝٣٨

69:38 I swear by what you see,

وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ ۝٣٩

وَمَا لَا تُبۡصِرُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝٣٩

69:39 and what you do not see,

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ ۝٤٠

اِنَّهٗ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُوۡلٍ كَرِيۡمٍۚ ۙ‏ ۝٤٠

69:40 it is surely the speech of a noble Messenger, (that he conveys from Allah).

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ ۝٤١

وَّمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَاعِرٍ​ؕ قَلِيۡلًا مَّا تُؤۡمِنُوۡنَۙ‏ ۝٤١

69:41 and it is not the speech of a poet, (but) little you believe,

وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٤٢

وَلَا بِقَوۡلِ كَاهِنٍ​ؕ قَلِيۡلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُوۡنَؕ‏ ۝٤٢

69:42 nor is it the speech of a soothsayer, (but) little you heed to the advice.

تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ۝٤٣

تَنۡزِيۡلٌ مِّنۡ رَّبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ‏ ۝٤٣

69:43 It is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ ٱلْأَقَاوِيلِ ۝٤٤

وَلَوۡ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيۡنَا بَعۡضَ الۡاَقَاوِيۡلِۙ‏ ۝٤٤

69:44 Had he (the prophet) forged some statements in Our name,

لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِٱلْيَمِينِ ۝٤٥

لَاَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُ بِالۡيَمِيۡنِۙ‏ ۝٤٥

69:45 We would have certainly seized him by the right hand,

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ ۝٤٦

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعۡنَا مِنۡهُ الۡوَتِيۡنَ  ۖ‏ ۝٤٦

69:46 and then severed his life-artery,

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَٰجِزِينَ ۝٤٧

فَمَا مِنۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ اَحَدٍ عَنۡهُ حَاجِزِيۡنَ‏ ۝٤٧

69:47 and none of you could have saved him from it.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ۝٤٨

وَاِنَّهٗ لَتَذۡكِرَةٌ لِّلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ‏ ۝٤٨

69:48 It is infact a Reminder for the God-fearing.

وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ ۝٤٩

وَاِنَّا لَنَعۡلَمُ اَنَّ مِنۡكُمۡ مُّكَذِّبِيۡنَ‏ ۝٤٩

69:49 And, of course, We know that among you there are deniers.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ۝٥٠

وَاِنَّهٗ لَحَسۡرَةٌ عَلَى الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ‏ ۝٥٠

69:50 And surely, it is a cause of remorse for the disbelievers.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ ۝٥١

 وَاِنَّهٗ لَحَـقُّ الۡيَقِيۡنِ‏ ۝٥١

69:51 And it is surely an absolute truth.

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ۝٥٢

فَسَبِّحۡ بِاسۡمِ رَبِّكَ الۡعَظِيۡمِ‏ ۝٥٢

69:52 So, pronounce the purity of the name of your magnificent Lord.
