Maududi rendition of Surah The Reality, The Inevitable(al-Haqqah)
---
69:1 The indubitable event
69:2 And what is that indubitable event
69:3 And what do you know what that indubitable event is
69:4 The Thamud and the Ad denied the (possibility of a) sudden calamity, calling it false
69:5 Then the Thamud were destroyed by an awesome upheaval
69:6 and the Ad were destroyed by a furiously raging wind-stor
69:7 which He let loose upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession; so that (if you had been there) you might have seen people lying prostrate, as though they were uprooted trunks of hollowed palm trees
69:8 Do you now see any trace of them
69:9 Pharaoh and those before him and the people of the overturned habitations all engaged in the same great sin
69:10 They did not follow the Messenger of their Lord, and so He seized them with a severe grip
69:11 Verily when the water rose to great heights, We bore you upon a floating vessel (i.e. the Ark
69:12 so that We might make it an instructive event for you, and retentive ears might preserve its memory
69:13 So when the Trumpet is blown with a single blas
69:14 and the earth and the mountains are carried aloft and are crushed to bits at one stroke
69:15 on that Day shall that indubitable event come to pass
69:16 when the sky will be rent asunder, the grip holding it together having loosened on that Day
69:17 and the angels will stand on the sides, with eight of them bearing aloft the Throne of your Lord on that Day
69:18 That will be the Day when you shall be brought forth (before Allah) and no secret of yours shall remain hidden
69:19 On that Day, he whose Record is given to him in his right hand will say: "Lo! Read my Record
69:20 Verily I was sure that I would be handed over my account."
69:21 Then he shall find himself in a life of bliss
69:22 in a lofty Garde
69:23 the clusters of whose fruit will be hanging low to be within reach (of the inmates of Paradise)
69:24 (They will be told): "Eat and drink with good cheer as a reward for the good deeds you did in the days that have passed by."
69:25 As for him whose Record will be given to him in his left hand, he will exclaim: "Would that I had never been given my Record
69:26 and had not known my account
69:27 Oh! Would that the death that came to me in the world had made an end of me
69:28 My riches have not availed me
69:29 and my authority has vanished."
69:30 (A command will be issued): "Seize him and shackle him
69:31 then cast him in the Fire
69:32 then fasten him with a chain, seventy cubits long
69:33 He would not believe in Allah, the Most Great
69:34 nor would he urge the feeding of the poor
69:35 Today he has been left here friendless
69:36 and has no food except the filth from the washing of wounds
69:37 which only the sinners will eat."
69:38 But no; I swear by what you see
69:39 and by what you do not see
69:40 that this is the speech of an honourable Messenger
69:41 not the speech of a poet. Little do you believe
69:42 Nor is this the speech of a soothsayer. Little do you reflect
69:43 It has been revealed by the Lord of the Universe
69:44 And if he [i.e., the Prophets] had forged this Discourse and thereafter ascribed it to Us
69:45 We would surely have seized him by the right hand
69:46 and then severed his life vein
69:47 and not one of you would have been able to withhold Us from doing so
69:48 Surely it is a Good Counsel for the God-fearing
69:49 We certainly know that some among you will give the lie to it
69:50 and surely it will be a cause of regret for the unbelievers
69:51 Certainly it is a Truth of absolute certainty
69:52 So glorify the name of your Lord Most Great
