| 69:1 | | That inevitable truth. |
| 69:2 | | How is that inevitable truth? |
| 69:3 | | And what did you know how is that inevitable? |
| 69:4 | | Thamud and Aad belied that strong calamity. |
| 69:5 | | Then as for Thamud they were destroyed with an extreme uproar. |
| 69:6 | | And as for Aad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring windstorm. |
| 69:7 | | Which He subjected them forcefully for seven nights and eight days consecutively, then see those people in it lying down, as though they were trunks of palm-trees lying down. |
| 69:8 | | Do you see any remnant of them? |
| 69:9 | | And Firawn and those before him, and the overthrown towns committed error. |
| 69:10 | | And they disobeyed the Messenger of their Lord; therefore, He seized them with a strong seizing. |
| 69:11 | | Undoubtedly, when the water rose high, We bore you in the boat. |
| 69:12 | | That We might make it a reminder for you and it might be retained by the ears that retain after hearing. |
| 69:13 | | Then when the trumpet is blown instantly. |
| 69:14 | | And the earth and the mountains are being crushed after lifting up all at once. |
| 69:15 | | That is the day when will happen the inevitable event. |
| 69:16 | | And the heaven will cleave as-under, then on the day it will be in a miserable condition. |
| 69:17 | | And the angels will be standing on the sides thereof, and on that day, the eight angles will bear over them the throne of your Lord. |
| 69:18 | | On that day, you all shall be presented and no hiding soul shall remain hidden. |
| 69:19 | | Then as to him, whose record shall be given in his right hand, he will say, 'take and read my record'. |
| 69:20 | | I was convinced that I would reach to my accounting. |
| 69:21 | | Therefore, he is in his desired comfort. |
| 69:22 | | In a lofty Garden. |
| 69:23 | | Its clusters are within reach. |
| 69:24 | | Eat and drink a content full recompense for that you sent forth in the days gone by. |
| 69:25 | | And as for him whose record shall be given in his left hand, he will say, 'oh would that, I had not been given my record! |
| 69:26 | | And I would not have known what is my reckoning. |
| 69:27 | | Oh, would that death had made an end of me. |
| 69:28 | | My wealth has availed me nothing. |
| 69:29 | | My all strength has gone from me. |
| 69:30 | | Seize him and put chains in his neck. |
| 69:31 | | Then cast him into blowing fire. |
| 69:32 | | Then thrust him in a chain the length of which is seventy cubits. |
| 69:33 | | Undoubtedly, he did not believe in Allah the Great. |
| 69:34 | | And he did not urge the feeding of the needy. |
| 69:35 | | Therefore, he today has no friend here. |
| 69:36 | | Nor any food saves pus of the people of Hell. |
| 69:37 | | Which none but the sinners eat. |
| 69:38 | | But no, I swear by what you see. |
| 69:39 | | And by all that, you see not. |
| 69:40 | | Undoubtedly, this Quran is the talks with a noble Messenger. |
| 69:41 | | And it is not the word of any poet. How little you believe! |
| 69:42 | | And it is not the word of any sooth sayer. How little you heed! |
| 69:43 | | I have been sent down by Him who is the Lord of entire world. |
| 69:44 | | And if he would have said against Us even one word forging from himself. |
| 69:45 | | We would surely have taken revenge with full force. |
| 69:46 | | And then We would surely have severed his life vein. |
| 69:47 | | And not any of you could have defended him. |
| 69:48 | | And undoubtedly; this Quran is an admonition to the God-fearing. |
| 69:49 | | And surely, We know that some among you are beliers. |
| 69:50 | | And undoubtedly, it is a great sorrow to the infidels. |
| 69:51 | | And undoubtedly, it is the truth of absolute certainty. |
| 69:52 | | So O beloved prophet! glorify your Lord the Great |
