69:1  The Sure Reality! (The Word and Retribution of Allah.

69:2  What is the Sure Reality

69:3  And what will make you realize what the Sure Reality is

69:4  The Samood (Thamud) and the ‘Ad people (treated) the stunning calamity as false

69:5  But the Samood (Thamud)— They were destroyed by a terrible storm of thunder and lightning

69:6  And the ‘Ad— They were destroyed by a furious wind extremely fierce

69:7  Which (wind) He (Allah) made it rage against them for seven nights and eight days continuously so that you could see all the people lying on their faces in its (path), as if they had been roots of hollow palm-trees tumbled down

69:8  Then do you see any of them left (still) living

69:9  And Firon (Pharaoh), and those before him and the cities overthrown, committed the same habitual sin

69:10  And (each) disobeyed the messenger of their Lord: So He punished them with a severe penalty

69:11  Verily, when the water (of Nuh's Flood) overflowed beyond its limits, We carried you (mankind) in the floating Ark

69:12  That We might make it a Message for you, that (your) ears (may listen) and retain (its extraordinary lessons) in memor

69:13  Then, when the blast is sounded on the Trumpet once

69:14  And the earth and its mountains shall be dislodged from their places and are crushed to powder at one stroke—

69:15  On that Day shall the Event (and Reality) become true

69:16  And the sky will be split apart, for that Day will be flimsy and torn apart

69:17  And the angels will be on its (the sky) sides, and on that Day eight (angels) will bear the Throne of your Lord above them

69:18  That Day shall you be brought to Judgment: Not (even) one act of yours that you hide will be hidden

69:19  Then he who will be given his record in his right hand will say: "Here! Read my record

69:20  "Surely, I did really know that my account would (One Day) reach me!"

69:21  So, he will be in a life of (ultimate) joy

69:22  In a Garden placed high

69:23  The fruits in bunches there, will be low and near at hand

69:24  (The greeting will be:) "You eat and drink, with full satisfaction; Because of the good that you sent before you, in the days that are gone!"

69:25  And he who will be given his record in his left hand, will say: "I wish my record was not been given to me

69:26  "And that I had never known what my account (contained)

69:27  "Would that (death) had made an end of me

69:28  "My wealth has been of no profit to me

69:29  "My power has departed from me!"..

69:30  (The command will be:) "Seize him and bind (shackle) him

69:31  "And throw him in the blazing Fire

69:32  "Further, make him march in a chain, whose length is seventy cubits (99-128 ft)

69:33  "He was one, who would not believe in Allah, the Most Great (Al-Azeem)

69:34  "And would not encourage the feeding of those in need

69:35  "So, no friend does he have here this Day

69:36  "Nor does he have any food (here) except the corruption from the washing of wound

69:37  "Which none do eat except those who have sinned."

69:38  So, I swear by what you se

69:39  And what you see not

69:40  That this is truly the word of an honorable Messenger (of Allah, the Prophet Muhammad)

69:41  It is not the word of a poet: Little it is you believe

69:42  Nor is it the word of a soothsayer (or a fortune teller): Little warning (and advice) it is, that you receive

69:43  (This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds (Rab-ul-'Ala'meen)

69:44  And if he (the Messenger) were to invent any saying in Our Name

69:45  We should certainly have seized him by his right hand

69:46  And then We certainly would have cut off the artery of his hear

69:47  Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our Anger)

69:48  But truly this is a Reminder (the Quran) for those who fear Allah

69:49  And We certainly, know that there are among you those who reject (it)

69:50  But truly, it (the Reminder, this Quran) is a cause of sorrow for the unbelievers

69:51  And verily, it (the Quran) is the Truth of total certainty

69:52  So glorify the Name of your Lord the Most Great (Rab-ul-Azeem)
