| | Abdul Hye rendition of Surah The Reality, The Inevitable(al-Haqqah)
--- |
|---|
| 69:1 | | The inevitable (of the Day of Resurrection)! |
| 69:2 | | What is the inevitable? |
| 69:3 | | And what will make you understand what the inevitable is? |
| 69:4 | | Thamud and Ad people denied the calamity (the striking Hour of judgment)! |
| 69:5 | | As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the awful cry! |
| 69:6 | | As for Ad, they were destroyed by a furious violent wind, |
| 69:7 | | which Allah imposed on them for 7 nights and 8 days in succession, so that you could see the people lying overthrown (destroyed) in it as if they were hollow trunks of date-palms! |
| 69:8 | | Now, do you see any remnants of them? |
| 69:9 | | And Pharaoh and those before him, and the cities overthrown (the people of Lot) who committed sin |
| 69:10 | | and they disobeyed their Lord’s Messenger, so He seized them with a strong seize. |
| 69:11 | | Surely! When the water rose beyond limits (Noah’s flood), We carried you people in the floating ship, |
| 69:12 | | that We may make it an event of warning for you so that it may be understood by the retaining ears (in memory). |
| 69:13 | | Then when the Trumpet will be blown with one blowing (first one) |
| 69:14 | | and the earth with its mountains will be removed (from their places) and crushed with a single crushing, |
| 69:15 | | then on that Day the great Event will befall, |
| 69:16 | | and the heaven will split asunder, and for that Day it (heaven) will be frail and torn up. |
| 69:17 | | And the angels will be on all sides and on that Day 8 angels will bear the Throne of your Lord above them. |
| 69:18 | | That Day you will be brought to judgment (before your Lord), and not a secret of you will be hidden. |
| 69:19 | | Then, as for the one who will be given its record (of deeds) in its right hand, will say: “Here! read my record! |
| 69:20 | | Surely, I did believe that I shall meet my account!” |
| 69:21 | | So he shall have a life of well-pleasing, |
| 69:22 | | in a lofty Paradise, |
| 69:23 | | with fruits in bunches which will be low and near at hand. |
| 69:24 | | (It will be said him): “Eat and drink at ease, (this is the reward) for what you did sent on before in past days!” |
| 69:25 | | But as for the one who will be given its record (of deeds) in its left hand, will say: “I wish that I had not been given my record (of deeds) |
| 69:26 | | and that I had never known what my account was? |
| 69:27 | | I wish if only it had been my end (death)! |
| 69:28 | | My wealth has availed me nothing, |
| 69:29 | | my power and arguments (to defend myself) have gone from me!” |
| 69:30 | | (It will be said): “Seize him and fetter (with a chain around its neck), |
| 69:31 | | then throw him in the blazing fire, |
| 69:32 | | then fasten him with a chain of 70 cubits long! |
| 69:33 | | Surely, he did not believe in Allah, the Great, |
| 69:34 | | and did not urge on the feeding of the poor. |
| 69:35 | | This Day he has neither a friend here, |
| 69:36 | | nor any food except the filth from the washing of wounds, |
| 69:37 | | which none will eat except the sinners.” |
| 69:38 | | So, surely I swear by whatever you see, |
| 69:39 | | and by whatever you don’t see, |
| 69:40 | | that surely this is the word of an honored Messenger. |
| 69:41 | | It is not the word of a poet, little is that you believe, |
| 69:42 | | nor it is the word of a soothsayer, little is that you remember. |
| 69:43 | | This is the revelation sent down from the Lord of the worlds. |
| 69:44 | | Had he (Muhammad) forged false sayings concerning Us, |
| 69:45 | | We certainly would have seized him by his right hand |
| 69:46 | | then certainly would have cut off his life arter |
| 69:47 | | and none of you could prevent (Us) from punishing him. |
| 69:48 | | Surely this (Qur’an) is a reminder for the pious. |
| 69:49 | | Surely We know that there are some among you who deny (the Qur’an) |
| 69:50 | | and indeed it (this Qur’an) will be an anguish for the disbelievers. |
| 69:51 | | Yet, it (this Qur’an) is an absolute truth with certainty. |
| 69:52 | | So glorify the name of your Lord, the Great. |
