| 69:1 | | The true event |
| 69:2 | | How tremendous is the true event |
| 69:3 | | And what have you understood, how tremendous the true event is |
| 69:4 | | The tribes of Thamud and A’ad denied the event of great dismay. (The Day of Resurrection |
| 69:5 | | So regarding the Thamud, they were destroyed by a terrible scream |
| 69:6 | | And as for A’ad, they were destroyed by a severe thundering windstorm |
| 69:7 | | He forced it upon them with strength, consecutively for seven nights and eight days - so you would see those people overthrown in it, like trunks of date palms fallen down |
| 69:8 | | So do you see any survivor among them |
| 69:9 | | And Firaun, and those before him, and the dwellings that were inverted and thrown, had brought error |
| 69:10 | | They therefore disobeyed the Noble Messengers of their Lord – so He seized them with an intense seizure |
| 69:11 | | Indeed when the water swelled up, We boarded you onto the ship |
| 69:12 | | In order to make it a remembrance for you, and in order that the ears that store may remember |
| 69:13 | | So when the Trumpet will be blown, with a sudden single blow |
| 69:14 | | And the earth and the mountains will be lifted up and crushed with a single crush |
| 69:15 | | So that is the day when the forthcoming event will occur |
| 69:16 | | And the heaven will split asunder - so on that day it will be unstable |
| 69:17 | | And the angels will be on its sides; and on that day, eight angels will carry the Throne of your Lord above them |
| 69:18 | | On that day all of you will be brought forth, so none among you wishing to hide will be able to hide |
| 69:19 | | So whoever is given his book in his right hand - he will say, “Take, read my account!&rdquo |
| 69:20 | | “I was certain that I will confront my account.&rdquo |
| 69:21 | | He is therefore in the desired serenity |
| 69:22 | | In a lofty Garden |
| 69:23 | | The fruit clusters of which are hanging down |
| 69:24 | | “Eat and drink with pleasure – the reward of what you sent ahead, in the past days.&rdquo |
| 69:25 | | And whoever is given his book in his left hand - he will say, “Alas, if only my account were not given to me!&rdquo |
| 69:26 | | “And had never come to know my account!&rdquo |
| 69:27 | | “Alas, if only it had been just death.&rdquo |
| 69:28 | | “My wealth did not in the least benefit me.&rdquo |
| 69:29 | | “All my power has vanished.&rdquo |
| 69:30 | | It will be said, “Seize him, and shackle him.&rdquo |
| 69:31 | | “Then hurl him into the blazing fire.&rdquo |
| 69:32 | | “Then bind him inside a chain which is seventy arm-lengths.&rdquo |
| 69:33 | | “Indeed he refused to accept faith in Allah, the Greatest.&rdquo |
| 69:34 | | “And did not urge to feed the needy.&rdquo |
| 69:35 | | “So he does not have any friend here this day.&rdquo |
| 69:36 | | “Nor any food except the pus discharged from the people of hell.&rdquo |
| 69:37 | | “Which none except the guilty shall eat.&rdquo |
| 69:38 | | So by oath of the things you see |
| 69:39 | | And by oath of those you do not see |
| 69:40 | | This Qur’an is the speech of Allah with a gracious Noble Messenger |
| 69:41 | | And it is not the speech of a poet; how little do you believe |
| 69:42 | | Nor is it the speech of a soothsayer; how little do you ponder |
| 69:43 | | Sent down by the Lord Of The Creation |
| 69:44 | | And had he fabricated just one matter upon Us |
| 69:45 | | We would have definitely taken revenge from him |
| 69:46 | | Then would have cut off his heart’s artery |
| 69:47 | | Then none among you would be his saviour |
| 69:48 | | And indeed this Qur’an is an advice for the pious |
| 69:49 | | And indeed We know that some among you are deniers |
| 69:50 | | And indeed it is a despair for the disbelievers |
| 69:51 | | And indeed it is a certain Truth |
| 69:52 | | Therefore (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), proclaim the purity of your Lord, the Greatest |
