| 69:1 | | The Inevitable |
| 69:2 | | What is the Inevitable |
| 69:3 | | And what do you know what the Inevitable is |
| 69:4 | | The Thamood and the AAad denied possibility of the Striking Calamity happening |
| 69:5 | | Then as for Thamood, they were destroyed by an overpowering blast!h |
| 69:6 | | And as for the AAad, they were destroyed by a furious, violent storm |
| 69:7 | | HE let it [storm] loose upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession. You would have seen the people there then lying prostrate, as though they were uprooted trunks of palm trees |
| 69:8 | | Do you now see any trace of them |
| 69:9 | | And Pharaoh and those before him and the people of the overturned habitations [the people of Lot] committed the same sin |
| 69:10 | | And they followed not the Messenger of their Lord! So He seized them severely |
| 69:11 | | When the water rose to great heights indeed, We bore you upon a floating vessel.h |
| 69:12 | | So as to make it for you an event to remember, and so that an attentive ear commits it to memory |
| 69:13 | | So when the Trumpet is blown with a single blo |
| 69:14 | | And the earth and the mountains are lifted and then crushed at one stroke |
| 69:15 | | On that Day shall the Event [the Hereafter, the Inevitable referred to in Verse above] come to pass |
| 69:16 | | And the sky will be rent asunder, so it becomes loose that Day |
| 69:17 | | And the angels will be at its edges. And eight of them will carry the Throne of your Lord that Day |
| 69:18 | | That Day you shall be presented (before Allah) and no secret of yours shall remain hidden |
| 69:19 | | He then, whose record will be given to him in his right hand, will say, "Here, read this record of mine!" |
| 69:20 | | "I did indeed expect that I would come face to face with my record." |
| 69:21 | | He shall then be living a life of blis |
| 69:22 | | In a lofty Garde |
| 69:23 | | Clusters of its fruits will be within reach |
| 69:24 | | "Eat and drink to your satisfaction on account of what you did in the days gone by." |
| 69:25 | | And he, whose Record will be given to him in his left hand, will say, "Would that I had never been given my Record!" |
| 69:26 | | "And had I not come to know my account!" |
| 69:27 | | "Oh! Would that [death in the worldly life] be the end of me!" |
| 69:28 | | "My wealth has been of no use to me!" |
| 69:29 | | "My authority is gone from me!" |
| 69:30 | | [Divine Order for him whose record is given in his left hand:] Seize him and shackle him |
| 69:31 | | Then burn him in the Blazing Fire |
| 69:32 | | Then tie him to a chain, seventy cubits long |
| 69:33 | | He would not believe in Allah, the Almighty |
| 69:34 | | And he would feel no urge to feed the poor |
| 69:35 | | And so no friend for him here today |
| 69:36 | | And no food except from discharged wastes |
| 69:37 | | Eat it not but the sinners |
| 69:38 | | But no! I swear by what you se |
| 69:39 | | And by what you do not se |
| 69:40 | | This [the Qur'aan] certainly indeed is a noble Messenger's [Angel's] Word |
| 69:41 | | And not that of a poet! Little do you believe |
| 69:42 | | Nor is it the word of a soothsayer! Little do you reflect |
| 69:43 | | It is a reveation from the Lord of the Universe |
| 69:44 | | And had he [the Prophet] ascribed to Us some of his own sayings |
| 69:45 | | We would surely have seized from him by the right hand |
| 69:46 | | And then severed from him the life vein |
| 69:47 | | And none of you could wit old Us from doing this to him |
| 69:48 | | And, indeed, it [the Qur'aan] is a divine Counsel for those who fear Allah |
| 69:49 | | And We do indeed know that some among you deny this |
| 69:50 | | And, indeed, it [the Qur'aan] is certainly a cause of regret for those who suppress the Truth |
| 69:51 | | And certainly indeed it [the Qur'aan] is the absolute Truth |
| 69:52 | | Chant, then, the name of your Lord, the Almighty |
