| | Ahmed Hulusi rendition of Surah The Reality, The Inevitable(al-Haqqah)
--- |
|---|
| 69:1 | | The absolute reality (which will become evident with death)! |
| 69:2 | | What is the absolute reality? |
| 69:3 | | What informs you of the absolute reality? |
| 69:4 | | Thamud and Aad denied the eternal life after death. |
| 69:5 | | So, for Thamud, they were destroyed with the loud earthquake! |
| 69:6 | | And Aad, they were destroyed with an intense hurricane! |
| 69:7 | | He subjected them (to that hurricane) for seven nights and eight days! You will see them fallen therein like hollow trunks of palm trees! |
| 69:8 | | What do you see of their remains? |
| 69:9 | | Pharaoh, those before them, and the destroyed cities, they all made the same mistake! |
| 69:10 | | They were disobedient to the Rasul of their Rabb and so (their Rabb) seized them with intensity! |
| 69:11 | | Indeed, when the water overflowed it was Us who carried you in the sailing ship! |
| 69:12 | | (We narrated it) so that We might make it a reminder for you and so that a perceptive ear can discern it well! |
| 69:13 | | When the Horn (the forms – the bodies that are present at that time) is blown with a single blow (when the individual consciousnesses realize their essential reality without their body)... |
| 69:14 | | When the earth (bodies) and the mountains (egos – identities) are crushed and destroyed with a single impact; |
| 69:15 | | At that time the great event will have taken place (everyone will have become aware of the absolute reality)! |
| 69:16 | | And the sky (the sense of self, identity) will be split apart, for at that time it will be frail! |
| 69:17 | | And the angel will be around it! Eight (forces) above them, (the creation) will bear the Throne of your Rabb at that time. |
| 69:18 | | And you will be brought forth that day with none of your secrets left concealed (fully exposed)! |
| 69:19 | | He whose (life record) is formed from his right will say, “Here is my record, read it.” |
| 69:20 | | “Indeed, I knew I was going to meet the results of my deeds!” |
| 69:21 | | So he will be in a state of bliss; |
| 69:22 | | A high (sublime) Paradise! |
| 69:23 | | The resulting fruits of his deeds will be within his reach! |
| 69:24 | | Eat and drink with joy as the result of your past deeds! |
| 69:25 | | As for he whose (book) life record is formed from his left, he will say, “I wish I had never been given my record!” |
| 69:26 | | “I wish I had never known what is my account (the consequences of my deeds)!” |
| 69:27 | | “I wish it ended (before it came to this point)!” |
| 69:28 | | “My wealth has been of no avail to me!” |
| 69:29 | | “All my power is lost and gone.” |
| 69:30 | | “Seize him and tie him!” |
| 69:31 | | “Then cast him to the Hell!” |
| 69:32 | | “Then insert him into a chain that is seventy cubits.” |
| 69:33 | | “For he did not believe in Allah the Azim, his essential reality with His Names!” |
| 69:34 | | “Nor did he make any effort to feed the needy (he was stingy)!” |
| 69:35 | | “So there is no devoted friend for him at this time.” |
| 69:36 | | “Nor any food for him except for pus.” |
| 69:37 | | “And the guilty will eat only that!” |
| 69:38 | | So I swear by what you see, |
| 69:39 | | And what you do not see! |
| 69:40 | | Indeed, it is the word of a generous Rasul. |
| 69:41 | | It is not the word of a poet... How limited is your faith! |
| 69:42 | | Nor is it the word of a soothsayer... How little you remember and think! |
| 69:43 | | It is a (detailed) disclosure from the Rabb of the worlds! |
| 69:44 | | Had he made it up and attributed it to Us; |
| 69:45 | | Surely We would have taken his right hand (power). |
| 69:46 | | Then We would have cut his jugular vein (carotid artery)! |
| 69:47 | | And none among you could have prevented it. |
| 69:48 | | Indeed, it (the Quran) is a thought-provoking reminder for those who want to protect themselves! |
| 69:49 | | Surely We know who among you are the deniers. |
| 69:50 | | Indeed, it (Doomsday) will be a time of bitter regret for those who deny the knowledge of the reality! |
| 69:51 | | Indeed, that (Doomsday period) is the (clear) experience of the Truth! |
| 69:52 | | So glorify (tasbih) your Rabb by continuing to carry out your function (in servitude to His Names), whose name is Azim! |
