1 The Reality! الْحَاقَّةُ
2 What is the Reality? مَا الْحَاقَّةُ
3 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the reality is! وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحَاقَّةُ
4 (The tribes of) Thamud and A´ad disbelieved in the judgment to come. كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ وَعَادٌ بِالْقَارِعَةِ
5 As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the lightning. فَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِالطَّاغِيَةِ
6 And as for A´ad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind, وَأَمَّا عَادٌ فَأُهْلِكُوا بِرِيحٍ صَرْصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٍ
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. سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَانِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا فَتَرَى الْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَى كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ
8 Canst thou (O Muhammad) see any remnant of them? فَهَلْ تَرَى لَهُم مِّن بَاقِيَةٍ
9 And Pharaoh and those before him, and the communities that were destroyed, brought error, وَجَاء فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَن قَبْلَهُ وَالْمُؤْتَفِكَاتُ بِالْخَاطِئَةِ
10 And they disobeyed the messenger of their Lord, therefor did He grip them with a tightening grip. فَعَصَوْا رَسُولَ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ أَخْذَةً رَّابِيَةً
11 Lo! when the waters rose, We carried you upon the ship إِنَّا لَمَّا طَغَى الْمَاء حَمَلْنَاكُمْ فِي الْجَارِيَةِ
12 That We might make it a memorial for you, and that remembering ears (that heard the story) might remember. لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَتَعِيَهَا أُذُنٌ وَاعِيَةٌ
13 And when the trumpet shall sound one blast فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ
14 And the earth with the mountains shall be lifted up and crushed with one crash, وَحُمِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَاحِدَةً
15 Then, on that day will the Event befall. فَيَوْمَئِذٍ وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ
16 And the heaven will split asunder, for that day it will be frail. وَانشَقَّتِ السَّمَاء فَهِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاهِيَةٌ
17 And the angels will be on the sides thereof, and eight will uphold the Throne of thy Lord that day, above them. وَالْمَلَكُ عَلَى أَرْجَائِهَا وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَانِيَةٌ
18 On that day ye will be exposed; not a secret of you will be hidden. يَوْمَئِذٍ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَى مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ
19 Then, as for him who is given his record in his right hand, he will say: Take, read my book! فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَيَقُولُ هَاؤُمُ اقْرَؤُوا كِتَابِيهْ
20 Surely I knew that I should have to meet my reckoning. إِنِّي ظَنَنتُ أَنِّي مُلَاقٍ حِسَابِيهْ
21 Then he will be in blissful state فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
22 In a high garden فِي جَنَّةٍ عَالِيَةٍ
23 Whereof the clusters are in easy reach. قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ
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. كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا هَنِيئًا بِمَا أَسْلَفْتُمْ فِي الْأَيَّامِ الْخَالِيَةِ
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 وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِشِمَالِهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أُوتَ كِتَابِيهْ
26 And knew not what my reckoning! وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيهْ
27 Oh, would that it had been death! يَا لَيْتَهَا كَانَتِ الْقَاضِيَةَ
28 My wealth hath not availed me, مَا أَغْنَى عَنِّي مَالِيهْ
29 My power hath gone from me. هَلَكَ عَنِّي سُلْطَانِيهْ
30 (It will be said): Take him and fetter him خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ
31 And then expose him to hell-fire ثُمَّ الْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ
32 And then insert him in a chain whereof the length is seventy cubits. ثُمَّ فِي سِلْسِلَةٍ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا فَاسْلُكُوهُ
33 Lo! He used not to believe in Allah the Tremendous, إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ
34 And urged not on the feeding of the wretched. وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ
35 Therefor hath he no lover here this day, فَلَيْسَ لَهُ الْيَوْمَ هَاهُنَا حَمِيمٌ
36 Nor any food save filth وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍ
37 Which none but sinners eat. لَا يَأْكُلُهُ إِلَّا الْخَاطِؤُونَ
38 But nay! I swear by all that ye see فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ
39 And all that ye see not وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُونَ
40 That it is indeed the speech of an illustrious messenger. إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
41 It is not poet´s speech - little is it that ye believe! وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ قَلِيلًا مَا تُؤْمِنُونَ
42 Nor diviner´s speech - little is it that ye remember! وَلَا بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ قَلِيلًا مَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
43 It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
44 And if he had invented false sayings concerning Us, وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الْأَقَاوِيلِ
45 We assuredly had taken him by the right hand لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ
46 And then severed his life-artery, ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ
47 And not one of you could have held Us off from him. فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَاجِزِينَ
48 And lo! it is a warrant unto those who ward off (evil). وَإِنَّهُ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ
49 And lo! We know that some among you will deny (it). وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ
50 And lo! it is indeed an anguish for the disbelievers. وَإِنَّهُ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ
51 And lo! it is absolute truth. وَإِنَّهُ لَحَقُّ الْيَقِينِ
52 So glorify the name of thy Tremendous Lord. فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ
