| 69:1 | | The Infallible |
| 69:2 | | what is the Infallible |
| 69:3 | | and what should make thee know what the Infallible is |
| 69:4 | | Thamud and 'Ad called the Striking Day a lie |
| 69:5 | | but as for Thamud they perished by the shock |
| 69:6 | | and as for 'Ad they perished with the violent cold blast of wind |
| 69:7 | | which He subjected against them for seven nights and eight days consecutively |
| 69:8 | | Thou mightest see the people therein prostrate as though they were palm stumps thrown down, and canst thou see any of them left |
| 69:9 | | And Pharaoh and those before him of the overturned Cities committed sins |
| 69:10 | | and they rebelled against the apostle of their Lord, and He seized them with an excessive punishment |
| 69:11 | | Verily, we, when the water surged, bore you on it in a sailing ship |
| 69:12 | | to make it a memorial for you, and that the retentive ear might hold it |
| 69:13 | | And when the trumpet shall be blown with one blast |
| 69:14 | | and the earth shall be borne away, and the mountains too, and both be crushed with one crushing |
| 69:15 | | on that day shall the inevitable happen |
| 69:16 | | and the heaven on that day shall be cleft asunder, for on that day shall it wane |
| 69:17 | | and the angels upon the sides thereof; and above them on that day shall eight bear the throne of thy Lord |
| 69:18 | | On the day when ye shall be set forth no hidden thing of yours shall be concealed |
| 69:19 | | And as for him who is given his book in his right hand, he shall say, 'Here! take and read my book |
| 69:20 | | Verily, I thought that I should meet my reckoning; |
| 69:21 | | and he shall be in a pleasing life |
| 69:22 | | in a lofty garden |
| 69:23 | | whose fruits are nigh to cull |
| 69:24 | | 'Eat ye and drink with good digestion, for what ye did aforetime in the days that have gone by! |
| 69:25 | | But as for him who is given his book in his left hand he shall say, 'O, would that I had not received my book |
| 69:26 | | I did not know what my account would be |
| 69:27 | | O, would that it had been an end of me |
| 69:28 | | my wealth availed me not |
| 69:29 | | my authority has perished from me! |
| 69:30 | | 'Take him and fetter him |
| 69:31 | | then in hell broil him |
| 69:32 | | then into a chain whose length is seventy cubits force him |
| 69:33 | | verily, he believed not in the mighty God |
| 69:34 | | nor was he particular to feed the poor |
| 69:35 | | therefore he has not here today any warm friend |
| 69:36 | | nor any food except foul ichor |
| 69:37 | | which none save sinners shall eat! |
| 69:38 | | I need not swear by what ye se |
| 69:39 | | or what ye do not see |
| 69:40 | | verily, it is the speech of a noble apostle |
| 69:41 | | and it is not the speech of a poet:- little is it ye believe |
| 69:42 | | And it is not the speech of a soothsayer,- little is it that ye mind! |
| 69:43 | | a revelation from the Lord of the worlds |
| 69:44 | | Why if he had invented against us any sayings |
| 69:45 | | we would have seized him by the right hand |
| 69:46 | | then we would have cut his jugular vein |
| 69:47 | | nor could any one of you have kept us off from him |
| 69:48 | | Verily, it is a memorial to the pious |
| 69:49 | | and, verily, we know that there are amongst you those who say it is a lie |
| 69:50 | | and, verily, it is a source of sighing to the misbelievers |
| 69:51 | | and, verily, it is certain truth |
| 69:52 | | Therefore celebrate the name of thy mighty Lord |
