| | Dr. Kamal Omar rendition of Surah The Reality, The Inevitable(al-Haqqah)
--- |
|---|
| 69:1 | | The Reality |
| 69:2 | | What (is) the Reality |
| 69:3 | | And what made you realise what is the Reality |
| 69:4 | | Samud and ‘Ad (people) denied Al-Qariah (The Disaster) |
| 69:5 | | So as for Samud — they were destroyed by the awful cry |
| 69:6 | | And as for ‘Ad, — they were destroyed by a wind, furious (and) violent |
| 69:7 | | (Allah) imposed it on them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so you see the (whole) nation therein lifeless as if they are (hollow) trunks of date-palm — those which fall down (themselves) |
| 69:8 | | So do you see regarding them any remnants |
| 69:9 | | And approached Firaun and whoever (went) before him, and the habitations that indulged in forgery — in (a state of) sin |
| 69:10 | | So they disobeyed the Messenger of their Nourisher-Sustainer, so He seized them in a severe seizure |
| 69:11 | | Surely We, when the water rose beyond limits, We carried you in the Ark (of Prophet Nuh) |
| 69:12 | | so that We may establish this (extra-ordinary incident) unto you (O entire mankind!) as a Reminder and the retaining ears may retain it (in memory) |
| 69:13 | | And when the siren is blown with one blowing (i.e., the first one) |
| 69:14 | | and the earth and the mountains are lifted, then both got crushed in a single break-up |
| 69:15 | | So this Day has really occurred the Inevitable (event of Resurrection) |
| 69:16 | | And the heaven has developed cracks, so this Day it is torn-up |
| 69:17 | | And the angels are on its limits. And bear the Throne of your Nourisher-Sustainer over themselves, this Day, eight (angels) |
| 69:18 | | This Day, you will be brought (to your Rabb for final accountability and Judgment). Will not remain hidden any secret of you people |
| 69:19 | | Then as for that who is handed over his record (of deeds) in his right (hand) — so he will say: “Alright, come! Read my that record |
| 69:20 | | Surely I, I thought that I am one who will face my that accountability.” |
| 69:21 | | So he (i.e., such a person who remained conscious of accountability is) in a happy life, well pleasing |
| 69:22 | | in a Garden, rising-one |
| 69:23 | | clusters of fruits whereof coming down and low (for easy reach) |
| 69:24 | | Eat and drink joyfully because of what you already sent before in the days gone-by |
| 69:25 | | And as for him who is handed over his record (of deeds) in his left (side) — so he will say: “O, would that, I had not been given my that record (which I did in my worldly life) |
| 69:26 | | and I had not known what (would be) my that accountability (which has disgraced me) |
| 69:27 | | O! Would that (death) had been one that makes things finally closed |
| 69:28 | | Has not benefited me my that wealth (which I acquired in the world by foul means) |
| 69:29 | | Has deserted me my that authority (which I misused in the world).” |
| 69:30 | | (His brooding shall be interrupted thus): “Seize him and fetter him |
| 69:31 | | afterwards throw him in the blazing Fire |
| 69:32 | | then fasten him in a chain — the length thereof is seventy cubits!” |
| 69:33 | | Verily, He used not to Believe in Allah, the Most High |
| 69:34 | | and urged not for the food to the indigent |
| 69:35 | | So (there is) not for him, this Day over-here a sincere and devoted friend |
| 69:36 | | and nor food except out of the washings |
| 69:37 | | Drink it not except the sinners |
| 69:38 | | So beware! I do call to witness what you see |
| 69:39 | | and what you see not |
| 69:40 | | Certainly this (Al-Qur‘an or Al-Kitab) is indeed Qawl-o-Rasulin Karim (Utterance of an honoured Messenger) |
| 69:41 | | And it is not (the) word of a poet; little is that you Believe |
| 69:42 | | And nor (is it) the word of a clairvoyant; little (is that) which you remind (yourself and others) |
| 69:43 | | (This is) a Descent proceeding from Nourisher-Sustainer of the worlds |
| 69:44 | | And if he had uttered some of the sayings relating these to Us (i.e., mahead of state these narrations binding for the Believers) — |
| 69:45 | | (then) surely, We would have seized him with (his) right (side) |
| 69:46 | | (and) afterwards, surely We would have cut off from him (his) life-artery |
| 69:47 | | Then (There would have been) not any one out of you as those who become an obstruction against that (punishment) |
| 69:48 | | And without doubt this (Al-Kitab is) indeed, (the only) Tazkiratun-lil-Muttaqin (‘Reminder for the righteous) |
| 69:49 | | And verily We, indeed We know that amongst you (are) those who deny (this status for Allah’s Scripture) |
| 69:50 | | And undoubtedly it certainly (is a source of) disappointment for the disbelievers |
| 69:51 | | And surely, it is indeed Haqq-ul-Yaqin (‘A certain Truth’) |
| 69:52 | | So glorify the name of your Nourisher-Sustainer, the Most High |
